Learning Objectives

  • Identify governance and control weaknesses that contribute to capital project overruns and delays.
  • Recognize early warning indicators involving scope, cost, schedule, and contractor oversight.
  • Evaluate procurement, change order, and budget reforecasting controls in capital programs.
  • Apply milestone reviews and project risk assessments to support proactive audit assurance.
  • Explain how earned value analysis can inform ongoing capital project oversight.

Course Overview

Major capital projects can exceed budgets, miss milestones, and drift from their intended scope when weaknesses in governance, controls, and oversight accumulate. Understanding these recurring failure patterns helps audit professionals identify concerns before projects reach a point of formal failure.

This course examines the causes of capital program overruns and delays, including scope creep, weak procurement controls, ineffective change management, and unreliable forecasts. Participants will explore early warning indicators such as cost variances, scope drift, and inadequate contractor oversight, along with ways to evaluate procurement, change order, and budget reforecasting controls.

Major Topic:

  • Governance and oversight failures in capital programs
  • Scope creep, budget overruns, and schedule delays
  • Procurement and contractor oversight controls
  • Change order management and budget reforecasting
  • Early warning indicators and project risk assessments
  • Milestone reviews, earned value analysis, and in-flight assurance

The course emphasizes proactive, in-flight assurance rather than reviews conducted only after problems emerge. Participants will examine practical audit techniques, including milestone reviews, project risk assessments, and earned value analysis, to strengthen oversight and identify emerging project risks.
