All governmental entities have fraud risks. But exposures in procurement and contracting often top the list of what can go wrong – including the possibility that third-party suppliers and contractors will take unfair advantage of the relationship, entice our employees into questionable practices, and commit wrongful acts or outright fraud.
In this two-hour program, we’ll look at how to audit for wrongdoing, theft and fraud in government procurement and contracting transactions and relationships. We’ll analyze audit lessons from past, current and emerging risks.
