The Project Audit Group’s main objective is to enable informed decision making by executive management. PAG is not influenced by the internal organization politics or agendas. These project audits ensures there is an independent team making a professional assessment of project health based on industry accepted project methodologies and best practices. The team is also able to influence post-audit activity to help to meet goals. And by following widely accepted Project Management Institute project management best practices, the PAG adheres to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
