How should projected and actual jobs be documented?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Identify what the evidence shows and the applicable project methodology, keeping forecasts and actual results distinct.

Explain the basis of the figures

Do not present promotional estimates as established jobs. Have the relevant rules and evidence assessed for the actual standalone or regional-center arrangement.

Keep the relevant acquisition and account history, trade confirmations, settlement records and transfers, together with the lawful-source evidence required for the original funds. Gather the relevant estate authority and beneficiary records, distribution statements and transfers, together with available evidence of the assets that generated the money. Start with the event that generated the funds, then trace the relevant ownership, payments, accounts and currency conversions through to the actual investment. A project adviser can help assemble information, but the investor must provide genuine evidence of how funds were lawfully obtained and moved. Build a dated review file around sale agreements, tax and banking records, gift or loan instruments where relevant, transfer trail, subscription papers, and job evidence. Preserve the request, response, and any statement that records are unavailable; secondary evidence and an honest explanation may then be assessed without pretending they are bank originals.
