Intermediate investment analysis report (for asset projects at expenditure authority for project implementation)
For Asset projects < $5M (refer to National Project Management System thresholds matrix) at expenditure authority for Project Implementation.
This template serves as a helpful tool for preparing the intermediate investment analysis report (IAR). Refer to the full Investment analysis report for asset projects at project approval for more details.
Note
Please attach (or copy) the Summary Cash Flow Table (from Real Property Project Funding and Cost Planning Workbook). For any National Project Management System (NPMS) lite project that is, or potentially may be, requesting capital funding (Vote 5, B141 or B143), a betterment test is required to validate the funding. Choices include completion of the Real Property (RP) Project Funding and Cost Planning Workbook for work in crown-owned buildings, or contacting Finance and Administration Branch (FAB) directly for a manual betterment test for those projects with other “focuses” (that is: lease, engineering asset, infrastructure, etc.).
