IIA Research Foundation
The IIA Research Foundation has recently
published The Practitioner's Blueprint to Construction
Auditing. Are you familiar with the terms change
orders? as-builts? MEP? If this terminology sounds
foreign to you, you are not alone. The world of
construction has a unique nomenclature, as well as unique
risks and risk management techniques. When you are
faced with auditing a construction project, you probably
wish that you had access to an experienced construction
auditor who could shed some light on this complex field.
The Practitioner’s Blueprint to Construction Auditing
provides just that. Written for internal audit
professionals, this book walks you through the construction
process—and the construction audit process—providing
insights both large and small along the way. Construction
professionals may also find it useful in determining what a
construction audit will involve and how to improve their
construction management practices. The book follows
the order of the construction project life cycle, explaining
the key concepts, risks, best practices, and controls for
each step of the project, along with the best methods for
auditing them. The methods contained in this book can
be applied to construction projects of all shapes and sizes. The book can be ordered online at
http://www.theiia.org/bookstore/product/the-practitioners-blueprint-to-construction-auditing-1630.cfm?
