Write a brief note on the follow-up section of a proposal.

Answers will vary. Although an entire proposal is devoted to convincing the reader of its merit, clients are frequently concerned about what will happen when the proposed work or service is completed. Will you return to make certain your work is satisfactory? Can you adjust your method of research as times change? If a party does not propose to conduct a study, it should not promise more than it can deliver. Not all funded research proves to be successful. If a party proposes to prepare a study in the area of expertise of the client's firm, it may be more confident. A public accounting firm's proposal to audit a company's records need not be modest. The accountant follows certain audit functions that are prescribed by the profession. However, a proposal that involves providing psychological services probably warrants a thoughtful follow-up program to evaluate the service.
