cycle, project stakeholders engaging        project governance. The fact of audit

are different. The activities acted by      is evaluating whether the consignee

various stakeholders and the                works under the convention, or

corresponding results are also              comparing between “plan” and

different. This will cause asymmetric       “actual work”. Project audit involves

information  problem  among                 three dimensions which contains audit

stakeholders. The asymmetric                objective, audit organization and

information decrease reliability of         audit factors. This system makes
