Today government services are increasingly being outsourced, and assessing the contractors' performance in delivering those services is a critical audit task. Performance indicators addressing quantity, quality and timeliness must be considered. In this course, you learn the unique requirements and limitations in auditing contractor performance, preparing recommendations and reporting audit results. Through case studies, you learn the role of contract terms in specifying expected performance levels and what to do when contract terms are missing or vague. You will also learn how to measure and assess contractor performance against contract terms and benchmarked norms.
