Construction Activity Audits

Our Construction Activity Audit Services are designed to provide you with greater control over your construction dollars. Our team of experienced Certified Public Accountants and consultants is capable of identifying risks at every stage of the project including:

Pre-Construction
We will recommend a system of controls including contractor selection criteria, pay application, and change order approval processes. We will verify contractor’s data, recommend contract language, and audit sub-contractor “buy-out” results.

Construction
We will provide routine or ad-hoc pay application audits, change order scope and price verification, cumulative cost component tracking and supporting documentation audits. Reconciliation of project expenditures will ensure that duplicate billings, duplicate payments, and/or duplicate scope items are detected in a timely manner. Interim audits of selected data on an as-needed basis can be an effective tool for ensuring full compliance with the contract documents.

Post-Construction
We will conduct a final audit of the project independent of the owner’s close-out procedures. This audit will give you the opportunity to evaluate records and documents normally not seen during routine operation processes.

McGovern & Greene, LLP will work with your project management and/or internal audit professionals in a team environment to deliver results most efficiently.
