SOCANIN provides audit services which allow us to leverage our field experience and compare the current state of your project with the expected milestones and the general baseline.
After studying any deviation, our team can check if all critical elements are in place, to ensure a successful, on-time and on-budget project while respecting the scope of work. When necessary, recommendations can be put forward before moving on to the next project phase.
As such, our interventions need to be considered in all phases of your project:
Strategy & Preliminary Design
When defining and planning a project, our services assess its feasibility, studying needs, as well as any internal and external factors potentially impacting it. Critical success factors are not taken for granted.
In smaller interventions, our audit services ensure the proper team and partners are in place, budgets and timelines are realistic and the project as a whole is ready for the next stage.
