Through a mix of theory, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will learn how procurement systems can be manipulated, red flags to watch for, and how to implement controls that reduce opportunities for fraud. The course also explores investigative techniques, legal frameworks, and collaborative approaches between procurement, audit, and legal teams in safeguarding procurement integrity.
