Webcast: Construction contract close-out: accounting and compliance

Construction Contract Close-Out is the construction project owner's last practical opportunity to ensure it pays the contractor only the amount of money it is obligated to under the contract. As a result the owner's accounting and internal audit departments are primarily responsible for ensuring that the final settlement with the contractor is correct.

Join Grant Thornton LLP on Thursday, Feb. 18th, for an informative hour of important information geared to help accountants and internal auditors in owner organizations understand the activities that need to be planned and implemented in order to protect the interests of the owner and safeguard the assets of the organization.

The webcast will cover topics including the following:

* Contract clauses needed to help the owner during the close-out process

* Project billing procedures that lessen close-out audit requirements

* Suggested close-out audit procedures

* Red-flags warning of problems during the close-out process

This timely presentation will arm attendees with important guidance that can help you protect your valuable construction project investment.
