Benefits control. Benefits control is a set of actions to realise planned benefits through ongoing monitoring to ensure that they are being achieved ([2] Ashurst and Doherty, 2003). Project benefits monitoring requires comparing project results with the benefits realisation plan and assessing if changes have occurred that will affect the delivery of planned benefits ([33] Ward and Griffiths, 1996). Benefits monitoring is required because it is almost impossible to identify all of the benefits of a project in advance and if there were no monitoring process, any change or new benefits would never be identified ([33] Ward and Griffiths, 1996; [28] Remenyi et al. , 2000.
