Project Auditing and Contractor Oversight for Professionals
Program Overview
Major capital programmes across the Gulf depend on contractors, and the largest losses typically arise from weak oversight of scope, variations, payments and claims. «Project Auditing and Contractor Oversight for Professionals» equips auditors and project controls staff to audit projects across the lifecycle: governance and stage gates, procurement and award, contract terms under FIDIC and bespoke contracts, interim payment applications, variation orders, claims, cost-plus and reimbursable contracts, right-to-audit clauses, fraud red flags and project closeout.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Develop a risk-based audit plan for a capital project across its lifecycle stages.
- ✓Review tender and award files for compliance, competition and conflict-of-interest risks.
- ✓Verify interim payment applications against measured quantities, rates and contract terms.
- ✓Assess variation orders and claims for entitlement, valuation and approval.
- ✓Audit reimbursable and cost-plus contracts using right-to-audit clauses and open-book reviews.
- ✓Identify fraud red flags such as bid rigging, inflated quantities and duplicate billing.
