Why this case deserves follow-up

Examined and set aside on this project:

  • quantity above plan (low confidence): the same approved statement covers 2 sibling item(s) (2 → 5 executed; 2 → 5 executed); this item's row is illegible, so it is set aside rather than presented.
  • quantity above plan (explained): A work slip / comparative statement records an executed quantity of 5 for the item (billed 4), so the increase is covered by a variation document.
  • quantity above plan (explained): A work slip / comparative statement records an executed quantity of 5 for the item (billed 4), so the increase is covered by a variation document.

Possible legitimate explanations

  • An approved deviation / work slip increased the quantity.
  • The approval exists on paper but was not uploaded to IFMS (IFMS attachments are not a complete record).
  • A second installation location was added to the work.
  • An OCR misreading of one figure (each row passed quantity × rate = amount, which makes this unlikely).

What would resolve it

  • Approved deviation statement / work slip covering the item
  • Supplementary Schedule B
  • MB pages for the item
  • Site inspection counting installed units

Questions an investigator could ask

  1. Was the increase of 's. Bearings; Maintenance-free self-greased SKF each Borla a.' from 2 to 4 units on job 186-23-000001 approved through a deviation statement or work slip? If so, give the approval number, date and approving authority.
  2. Which MB pages record the measurement of the additional 2 units?
  3. Where were the additional units installed?
  4. Was the additional quantity paid at the tendered rate or a revised rate?
