Earned Value Management Reporting Requirements. Include a provision for a project cost accountant when the earned value management (EVM) report is a condition of an award agreement. If possible, negotiate this type of reporting requirement out of an award. EVMs are administratively intensive because in essence Tech is being asked to provide/track cost accounting information from a fund accounting system. The requirement is normally stated in the request for proposal or could be included as a condition of the award. If the requirement wasn't included in the solicitation and the resulting cost proposal but is a condition of award, then this constitutes an out-of-scope change and negotiations should include a request for additional funding to cover personnel to address a very unique reporting requirement.
