Explanation
The scenario suggests the Control Procurements process is underway. Audits are among the tools and
techniques of this
process and are typically used to evaluate a documented procedure to ensure the
procedure is being carried out
according to plan and analyzed for improvements. In this situation, an
audit can be used to review the schedule for the
delivery of material per the contract. The audit results
inform the project manager whether changes need to be made to
the schedule. If the seller is delinquent
in delivering the material, the audit results will also allow the project manager to
determine what, if any,
corrective action should be taken. An audit, as a tool of the Control Procurements process, is how
contract performance is monitored via a
structured review of the procurement process. The project
manager would conduct an audit to compare the
supplier's obligations to deliver material as outlined in
the contract versus their actual performance. Results of the
audit would determine if corrective action
needs to be taken.(PMBOK Guide) – Sixth Edition, Page(s) 498

7000-7000 = 0 ) & SV= EV-PV ( 7000-8000 = -1000 ) so the project is within budget and behind schedule
. Activity B: CV=EV-AC ( 10,000-9000 = 1000 ) & SV= EV-PV ( 10,000-9000 = 1000 ) so the project is
under budget and ahead of schedule . Activity C: CV=EV-AC ( 9,000 - 8500 = 500) & SV= EV-PV ( 9,000
- 8000 = 1000 ) so the project is under budget and ahead of schedule . Activity D: CV=EV-AC ( 8,000 -
11,000 = -3000) & SV= EV-PV ( 8,000 - 11000 = -3000 ) so the project is over budget and behind
schedule .
