Hi Eka,You can for sure compare the planned budget vs. actual expenses, but this will hardly indicate anything. I think the best starting point would be to formulate an answer that you want to be answered. In your case you might ask “Was the budget planning accurate?” or “Were the expenses appropriate?” and according to what you write you already have the answers to these questions.My recommendation would be to define business context and challenge first and only then go searching for KPIs.
