CAPITAL INVESTMENT APPRAISAL
Post-investment audit
• It is important that firms compare actual results with the
estimated cash flows used in the capital budgets of projects
and provide explanations for the differences. The main
objective of a post-investment audit is to improve the
capital budgeting process.
• A post-investment audit is useful to:
• monitor and improve the performance of projects subsequent to
implementation;
• ensure that management work hard to achieve forecasts;
• provide valuable lessons for decision-making when it is time to
evaluate further investments.
