Grant clawback: decision, use and supporting evidence
A grant-clawback notice should be compared with the award, agreement, documented spending and stated reason for repayment. French and Swiss funding schemes have their own decisions and review routes. Separate eligibility at award from later compliance and accounting. This file is about public funding already received, not charitable tax receipts or a promise that every repayment demand can be cancelled.

Use one currency and one period. Initial figures are fictional; the result is arithmetic only. The difference decides neither qualifying expenditure nor legally recoverable aid. This worksheet organises records; it does not establish admissibility, entitlement or a procedural outcome.
Which paid grant is being recovered?
Keep award, agreement and received act. This concerns use after payment, not an initial application refusal.
