This program targets directors and heads of departments, business owners, finance directors and managers, Tender committees and members, procurement managers, supply chain managers, commercial managers, internal auditors, risk managers and training managers.

According to the KPMG profile of a fraudster 2012 study, procurement fraud was the second most common type of fraud committed involving collusion.

Companies should be vigilant about risks presented by suppliers, a counter party who defaults on a contract or whose business collapses can have serious financial ramifications for connected parties. Fraud risk can also increase when cash is tight; some employers become more opportunistic. Many companies are more likely to pursue litigation for losses that they would otherwise endure in more prosperous times. Disputes arise as they blame other parties for inappropriate or negligent behavior that results in financial or business loss.

3. Help participants in responding to procurement fraud.
4. Effectiveness of methods such as blacklisting of bidders, reshuffling staff within the procurement unit and litigations.
