PMI states that applications are randomly selected for audit. However, this does not mean that a weak or poorly constructed application will not affect the chances of being flagged for further scrutiny, audit, or rejection. The best strategies to minimize hassles are to: (1) get expert assistance with your application; and (2) send the project description, role, project title, and job title information to your project contacts before you submit your application. Explain to them what you are applying for, why you worded things this way in your application, and ask them whether they would have a problem agreeing this is accurate if you are audited.
