Our approach to EPC project audits is as versatile as the projects themselves. We meticulously tailor our service delivery to suit the unique circumstances, whether it's the urgency dictated by project timelines, operational imperatives, or the intricacies of contract types and dollar values. By recognizing the nuanced needs of each entity, we ensure that our audit emphasis is finely tuned, adapting our approach to fit seamlessly into the project's lifecycle. From inception to completion, our audits stand as guardians of integrity, ensuring adherence to standards, safeguarding against risks, and optimizing outcomes. In this dynamic landscape, common EPC contract audits serve as our compass, guiding us through the complexities of cost, quality, schedule, compliance, and beyond, ensuring that every facet of the project is scrutinized with precision and care.
Major Projects: During the life of a major development project, we recommend undertaking regular compliance or forensic examinations of all aspects of the contract, in order to provide you with a complete, transparent, picture of the financial management and operational performance of the contractor, thereby ensuring that, the agreement is being executed in accordance with the intent of all parties to the contract.
Two-phase audits: the first phase typically is scheduled near the beginning (such as at 20 percent project completion) and the second before final payment is made.
Monthly payment audits: these keep a close watch on contract cash outflows and help to resolve potential problems before they lead to delays and cost overruns.
Contract closeout audits: typically completed before final payment is made.
