Construction projects are complex and involve a large investment of time and money.

Topic Background:
Construction projects are complex in nature and contain terminology not commonly used elsewhere. Because of their complexity and the fast track nature of many projects, often audits are not done. Significant reliance may be placed with accounts payable personnel who may not be well trained to detect common errors or to find some of the errors.
