Guidance notes - PSC report review section The PSC report may be written in-house with assistance from advisers. Alternatively, the PSC report may be coordinated and written up by external advisers to the project team. Under either scenario, it is common practice for the PSC report to fully document the sources of information and the extent to which the lead external adviser has reviewed this information. A statement along the lines set out below would be an acceptable limitation on the scope of work undertaken by an external adviser. |
