Comprehensive Audit Program
A comprehensive audit program offered by The BERO Group was prepared for use with typical lump sum and GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) contracts with prime contractors and subcontractors. Procedures related to verifying a contractor's "cost of work" (such as direct labor, material purchases and rental charges) are normally applied to cost-reimbursement type contracts.
Our professionals will apply specific task-oriented audit tests tailored to selected transactions subject to review.
