The Reason Why Managers Avoid Audits There are some basic reasons why managers are reluctant to go through audits. Open Criticism People do not enjoy being criticized in an open forum, particularly if it relates to information that may not reflect well on their performance. Utilizing Scarce Resources Performing a project audit consumes time and other resources just like any other management process. When audits are performed at the end of a project life cycle, these resources may be especially scarce. Tied Down to Same Project Project close-outs can be very hectic times. There is pressure to get deliverables finalized and signed off, and people begin to look at life beyond the project, perhaps towards the next project or even towards a new job.
