Construction and Contract Compliance Audit
Auditing what was invoiced against what the contract permitted and what was actually built. This is the work that returns money.
The problem
Owners pay against certificates, not against evidence. Rates get applied to the wrong scope, preliminaries are recovered twice, plant sits idle on the payroll, and change orders absorb work already priced in the original bill. None of it looks like fraud on a single certificate. It compounds across forty of them.
