Common use of Excessive Expenditures Clause in Contracts

Excessive Expenditures. If this agreement requires a budget, DHHS may question any amounts in excess of the total amount budgeted in either administrative costs or capital expenditures and may require the Subrecipient to refund the excesses to DHHS. Amounts in excess of the total amount budgeted in program costs will not normally result in questioned costs unless DHHS has placed restrictions on subcategories within this major category. If this agreement restricts expenditures within defined subcategories, DHHS will consider any unapproved excesses to be a questioned cost.
