Course Description

A large part of the total expenditures of a business originate in the procurement department. Given the volume of cash involved, it makes sense for a business to conduct ongoing audits of every procurement activity. In the How to Audit Procurement course, we cover the main procurement processes, the controls applied to them, the most common forms of procurement fraud, and the different types of procurement-related investigations in which an auditor can engage.
