I see that cost control is an integral part of the project control. A successful project is the one which achieves its goals within time and within budget.

Any cost deviations must be approved by management and customer(s) before accepting it.

2/ Project cost control; organise, control the resources available, predict and pre-empt problems by coordination and communications between the project participants.
