Technical Program:
The Top Ten Mistakes Made in
Forensic Analysis
Abstract: Project team members
and experts are not always accurate in how they analyze a
project’s forensic history. These inaccuracies range from using incorrect analysis methodologies to “cherry-picking” only data that supports their case and everything in between. These mistakes are common and happen for many different reasons. They can be due to an analyzer not having enough experience or they can be made purposely in an attempt to mislead.
The authors will discuss ten biggest mistakes made in forensic analysis today and how to recognize and confirm that each is in fact mistake. In addition to the identification, the paper will also discuss the proper way to perform each analysis where the mistake was made, using lessons learned from project controls, forensic analysis/dispute resolution experience, and AACE’s Recommended Practices.
