CMA Final · Strategic Financial Management · Investment Decisions, Project Planning and Control
In the capital budgeting process, which step normally comes immediately after the evaluation and selection of a proposal and before its operation begins?
Project implementation and execution follows evaluation and selection. The standard sequence is idea generation, screening, evaluation, selection, implementation, and finally performance review through post-completion audit once the project is operating.

- BGeneration of investment ideas
- CPost-completion audit
- DPreliminary screening of proposals
Explanation
The usual sequence is idea generation, screening, evaluation and selection, implementation, then performance review or post-audit. Post-completion audit happens after the project is operating, so it cannot follow selection directly.
