Fictitious suppliers, shell companies and manipulated vendor records let insiders divert payments while the books appear normal. This course shows procurement, finance and audit teams how these schemes are built and how to unravel them. Delegates learn to interrogate the vendor master file, verify supplier existence and beneficial ownership, and design controls that stop payments to phantom vendors common in African supply chains.
