II Audit
completion (second year onwards): give dates by which audit report of the
respective previous years accounts will be ready):
For all institutes the financial audit
will be completed by June in every financial year
9.
Please
give (third year of the sub-project onwards) the expected outcomes, for the
project as a whole here and for each institutions separately
as Annexure 7 in the following format.
