Design Audits

Abstract

Design audit is a risk reduction process, in situations where large sums are involved and the costs of mistakes could be high. The aim is to increase assurance of performance by anticipating and forestalling potential problems. To be effective and accepted, the design auditor must be objective and demonstrate professional and personal skills, in a manner not very different from those engaged in more familiar forms of audit. The approach is outlined and examples are given.
