In an increasingly competitive world more and more projects are running over time and budget often with dire consequences for client and contractor alike!

Is your project likely to be one of them?

 The problem is you may not know at this stage! As in all too many cases the project management team doesn’t have an accurate picture of the current state of the project, despite having some form of Project Controls in place.

Our experience has shown this can normally be attributed to one or more of the following: - 

bulletProject Controls team is too small in number to control the project effectively
bulletProject Controls team is incorrectly structured
bulletProject Controls team is inexperienced
bulletProject Controls team is poorly controlled or possibly not motivated
bulletProject Controls haven’t taken into account the effect changes are having on completion
bulletProject Controls are not using the appropriate methods to control the project
bulletProject Controls are just not conveying the current status in a meaningful format
bulletData collection is inaccurate. As a consequence the Project Controls team is submitting incorrect conclusions to management.
bulletDept. managers, to show their work in a good light coerce/misinform Project Controls
bulletThe contractors/sub-contractors misinform Project Controls of their true status
bulletProject Management is not responding to the advice Project Controls is supplying  

Over 28 years of experience on projects for many leading multi-nationals and contractors around the globe, has shown us that in most organisations be they large or small, by the time the true picture of what is happening on a project is known, it is often too late to stop further slippage in terms of both cost and time. This is why Project Audit and Recovery Ltd. was formed. 

Project Audit and Recovery Ltd consultants provide a unique service by being able to provide an independent project management controls service which can audit, report and advise on the corrective measures that need to be put in place to improve the likelihood of a project being completed on time and within budget. 

Always remember that  on any project "Failure is not an option ".
