Course Overview

This webinar is a part of the Construction Audit Series by Denise Cicchella!

US Bureau of Labour Statistics shows that as of January 2020, there were $7.59M people working in the construction industry. In addition, data from the Association of General Contractors of America shows that the construction industry has more than 600,000 employers in the US and creates nearly $1.3 trillion worth of structures each year. 

Construction is a risky business. Each construction project is unique and comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. Identifying and managing construction project risks can be tricky, but not impossible with careful planning and execution.

Auditing a construction invoice can be difficult if you do not know the components and understand the formulas. This Discussion will include popular errors and frauds found over the years.

Auditing a construction invoice can be divided into three main parts:

  • During construction, precise checking & preparation of contractor's bills.
  • Post-construction bills audit as per drawings & physical verification at site reference to latest measurement codes.
  • Verification & checking of quality of construction after execution of projects through physical verification or certified laboratory or as per the requirement of the site/client.
