Although the term ‘papering the file’ is often associated with increased documentation efforts in preparation for litigation after a job has gone bad, it shouldn’t be. Effective communication and accurate recordation of those communications can keep the parties – and the project – on course and out of litigation. Should an irreconcilable dispute nevertheless arise, thorough project documentation facilitates the efficient resolution of that dispute. This program will help you to not only recognize the significance of various project documents, but also the true importance of the information recorded. The live audio conference will also explain what to document, when and how to record it, and who should take responsibility for preparing various project files. Attend this program and you will be armed with vital information on how to prepare and maintain a proper and complete job file.

If we audit and have a bad result, what are the next steps?
