A program is nearing completion, but several vendor invoices remain unpaid and some account reconciliations are still open. Extra funds are still in the budget, and stakeholders have requested a final financial update. Which action is BEST to ensure that all financial obligations are settled appropriately?
Suspend further payouts until the sponsor approves all outstanding expenses and confirms deliverable completeness.
Reallocate remaining funds to another program and process the outstanding vendor invoices during the next financial cycle review.
Review all vendor contracts, match invoices to deliverables, and finalize payments once scope completion is confirmed.
Pay every outstanding invoice immediately to close the budget, deferring contract validation until after formal program closure.
The most reliable way to close program finances is to review each contract, match every outstanding invoice to confirmed deliverables, and release final payments only after the associated scope is verified as complete. This prevents over- or under-payment and ensures the program's financial records are clean before closure. Suspending payouts shifts responsibility without resolving the root issue; re-allocating funds before settling liabilities risks audit findings; paying invoices without validation can lead to over-payment.
