Review actual cost reimbursement and other commercial contracting models, including cost-reimbursable, target-cost and other complex contractual arrangements.
Interpret and apply different contractual and commercial frameworks when assessing costs, entitlements, changes and claims.
Support the development and implementation of cost control strategies and project reporting frameworks.
Prepare high-quality cost reports, audit documentation, working papers and supporting evidence.
Produce clear, concise and robust reports outlining findings, cost risks, conclusions and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
Engage confidently with contractors, clients, regulatory bodies and other relevant stakeholders throughout the cost management, audit and assurance process.
Support the development and application of forensic technology, data analytics, cost management systems and cost assurance tools.
