via telephone survey and/or visits.
20.2 Medium sized schemes25 per cent
of schemes are monitored via telephone survey; 75 per cent are
visited.
20.3 Large schemesall are visited. In
addition, project monitors have been appointed to monitor the
progress of national and regional level projects through their
construction period.
21. A sample of schemes are also reviewed each
year by the Management Audit Unit and/or contracted auditors.
They also have a role with problem schemes.
22. Since the publication of the report the
Council has completed on-site monitoring of a further 300 schemes.
The analysis of this work will be presented to the Council through
the Lottery Panel and the Audit Committee in autumn 1998. These
monitoring reports complement the regular reports received during
the course of construction of the projects.
