Guidelines for Conducting a Project Audit
1. The philosophy must be that the project audit is not a witch hunt.
2. Comments about individuals or groups participating in the project
should be minimized.
3. Audit activities should be sensitive to human emotions and reactions.
4. The accuracy of data should be verifiable.
5. Senior management should announce support for the project audit.
6. The objective of project audits is not to prosecute but to learn and
conserve valuable organizational resources where mistakes have
been made.
7. The audit should be completed as quickly as is reasonable.
