Course Overview

A construction audit is a review of various aspects of a project to ensure they are performing appropriately and in keeping with the contract. Since construction projects typically involve several entities performing several concurrent tasks, a construction audit is a crucial tool for keeping everything on track and under budget.

With the rapid development of information technology in today’s world, the amount of data information is getting larger and larger, which presents the characteristics of big data. Big data refers to a collection of data that cannot be captured, managed, and processed by conventional software tools within a certain time.

Big Data has been used for many years to do continuous auditing. Auditing your construction projects is no exception.

The era of big data has brought great changes to various industries, and the innovative application effect of big data-related technologies also shows obvious advantages.
