PROCUREMENT FRAUD & TELLTALE SIGNS TO ALERT YOU TO ACTION

09 April 2020, Friday
12:30pm - 1:30pm

Fraud within the procurement life cycle is high-risk and can occur in many different ways at any stage, resulting in recurring losses.

Companies face the risk of fraudulent activities conducted by internal staff, a collaboration between employees and suppliers and cooperation between suppliers.

The current COVID-19 pandemic sees companies adapting their operations to enable staff to work from home. This flexibility may further increase opportunities for committing fraud. Furthermore, as more business operations go paperless, procurement fraud can be harder to detect. Hence, vigilance against procurement fraud is crucial in ensuring that your company gets the bang for their buck.
