Project Surveillance and Audit Please remember, audit is not mean to punish a contractor, it is a tool to help the contractor identify deficiencies, with the ability to act on them before a NCR is issued Audits on the other hand are a QA function and very much different from Quality Control using check-list and surveillance visits. Ongoing project surveillance with both PMC and Contractor Quality Personnel, in addition to frequent Compliance audits will ensure that the project is kept on track in most cases without the need for an NCR These surveillance checks need not be lengthy, choose one particular item and check the documentation / system followed to ensure its completeness. After repetitive issues (NCRs) follow up audit (additional Audit) is expected in addition to planned audit program. Then audit criteria would be assigned and an audit trail established into why the problem keeps occurring
