Procurement Fraud and Conflict of Interest

Bid rigging, shell suppliers and undeclared family interests tend to leave the same traces in a procurement file. Detection methods, supplier due diligence, declaration registers and red flag analysis across the full tender cycle form the core, with attention to municipal and state owned entity supply chain practice.
