Full Definition of Deobligation

Deobligation is a downward adjustment of the obligations recorded in a contract document.

It is typically caused by factors such as:

  • the termination of part of the project,
  • a reduction in material prices,
  • an under-run of costs, or
  • a correction to recorded amounts.

This is done by cancelling a project, reducing costs, overrunning costs, or correcting the amounts recorded.
