P
rocurement fraud can wipe out much of a company’s
profits and damage a nation’s ability to invest. The quality
of procurement can make the difference between success
and failure – whether of private sector companies or of national
economies.
This course looks at ways to combat fraud in procurement and
minimise those organisational systems, processes, procedures,
documentation and contracting processes that can be a barrier to
value for money and competitiveness. The course further looks at
how to reform procurement within the public and private sector and
how to create a world class and a high performance procurement
organisation.
