Budget questions

Hi all

I have a quick favor to ask for any of you that are engaged in project finance.
In our final budget vs actuals for a project, the salary lines for a few staff are overspent by up to 30% and the verification team has asked for explanations on these. Now since all the salary lines are overspent, its not like we can say it balances off with savings in other salary lines so was hoping on a few suggestions here. I know I'm the one who has the background info on the project and would be able to explain this better but maybe some generic answers or suggestions to assist please.

Thanks a bunch!

Which did they help?

Quality
Schedule
Cost

Which two of the above did the sponsor want you to optimize?

Are you a PMP?

@questionWeaver it is an NGO project on constitutional advocacy so I think the output in quality of work is what they would expect to maximize on most

@boopy Then you explain the cost overage was directly associated with achieving the targeted quality level.
