Companies implementing growth plans or executing large capital projects frequently encounter surprises in the form of cost overruns and schedule delays.

Major capital projects are often complicated, fast-paced and risky endeavours, and are carried out in an environment prone to fraud, uncertainty, waste and abuse.
