Original Audit Finding Excerpt

"The submitted construction logbook mentioned only the number of manpower, the weather and the general description of the activity. Other items relating to work progress were not indicated such as the status of the on-going activity, new works started, name, size, and type of all major pieces of construction equipment at the site each day indicating whether these are operational or not, and if operational whether it is idle, and the reason why, number of supervisory and non-supervisory personnel on site, and visitors to the site."
