Overview:

Due to reform of the procurement process, the demands on staff to take an ever-increasing professional approach to the subject, is escalating. This, coupled with the fact that procurement of goods and services is a major component of a national budget, makes it imperative that laws, regulations, rules and procedures are strictly adhered to, to maintain transparency, accountability and fairness in the procurement process.

This comprehensive programme will improve your knowledge of procurement, regulatory frameworks, risks on all aspects of the procurement cycle and contract supervision. This will lead to practical skills development in the audit process from planning to execution and reporting and monitoring recommendations.
