This workshop provides a practical, hands-on guide to navigating public procurement processes while staying fully compliant with audit requirements. With audit teams increasingly scrutinizing procurement records, evaluation reports, contract management, and documentation trails, this session equips participants with the knowledge and tools to prevent common audit objections before they arise.

You’ll explore real-world cases of procurement irregularities, understand what auditors look for, and learn how to maintain a defensible audit trail at every procurement stage—planning, bidding, evaluation, contract award, and post-award management.

How is this Workshop Helpful?

Audit objections can damage the reputation of an organization, delay projects, and lead to financial recoveries or even disciplinary actions.
