This log should be maintained so that an updated copy can be produced at the regular change control meetings and a total liability for change assessed.
The 'cost status' shown in the table above will indicate whether the change has been approved or rejected.
The approved costs will be added to the baseline budget and a current control budget will be produced, indicating the total liability to the client of the changes raised to date.
