This study looks into the post-audit of capital projects in large UK organisations.

This study looks into the post-audit of capital projects in large UK organisations. We focus on the aspect of organisational learning theory as a process of continuous improvement, learning from past experience, especially in the management decision-making paradigm. We discovered nine important reasons for undertaking post-audits and ten for not. An important observation is that while those organisations which do not undertake post-audits attach a greater level of importance to 'the reasons for not carrying out post-audits' and 'the problems faced in the implementation of post-audits', these difficulties have been overcome by those organisations that undertake post-audits. We argue that training the non-users to overcome the perceived difficulties would enhance the investment decision-making process by encouraging them to learn from the experience of those that undertake post-audits. The respondents to our research consist of some of the most senior executives from the largest UKorganisations and their views on academic issues are, in many cases, difficult to obtain; this research therefore has value in this respect. Our findings point the way to new lines of enquiry in this field.
