Procurement Fraud Risks, Audit and Internal Controls for Public and Private Sectors (6-7 July 2026) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
OVERVIEW
Protect Your Business Against Expensive Malpractices and Fraudulent Behaviour
The rise in contract management and the outsourcing of goods and services has created an increase in procurement fraud, which can occur at any stage of the contracting and procurement process. Appropriate controls, fraud prevention strategies and proper tendering processes are necessary in the fight against this fraud.
It is important to remember that maintenance of financial controls remains critical in this age of digitalisation. Public and private sectors must continue to comply with legal responsibilities and related guidance on financial governance. It is essential that all staff maintain financial records and decision logs – regardless of any circumstances - so that audit trails are preserved .
Procurement, finance, and payroll staff, as well as those who requisition or authorise the purchase of goods, services and works should familiarise themselves with the controls set out to prevent fraud , identify key parameters for auditors in assessing the risk of sub-optimal procurement, and how they should prioritise and conduct their audits to check if these risks have materialised, including the risk of fraud and corruption.
Procurement fraud can occur through departmental purchasing of goods and services, as well as through contractual arrangements with external service providers. It can occur in many different ways. Fraud within the procurement life cycle is high risk and can result in recurring losses. You may be at risk due to fraudulent activities conducted by internal staff, collusion between internal staff and external service providers or external service provider or industry collusion.
This workshop offers insight into the specific risks and possible management techniques in procurement in good or tough times. This 14 hours training programme would equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to deter, prevent, and detect various devastating types of fraud. JOIN US to learn how to identify procurement fraud situations, uncover rogue operatives and threats and provide a higher level of transparency and control over all elements of your purchasing requirements.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM BACK AGAIN - ENHANCED FOR THE NEW ERA OF THE FACILITIES MANAGEMENT Most FM Service Level Agreements were originally designed to manage vendors, control performance, monitor response times, and administer outsourced services. But today’s organisations expect far more. Facilities operations now directly influence: Business Continuity Workplace Experience Operational Resilience Employee Productivity ESG Performance Governance Organisational Confidence Strategic Business Performance This means traditional operational SLAs are no longer enough. The challenge many organisations face today is this: Despite having SLAs, KPIs, dashboards, and monthly reports in place, many organisations continue to face the same challenge where executives struggle to recognise FM’s strategic value, Service Providers remain overly focused on avoiding deductions, recurring operational frustrations persist, and FM teams remain operationally occupied yet strategically under-recognised. This highly practical and interactive 2-Day Training-Facilitation Programme introduces a new strategic approach , BUSINESS-DRIVEN FM-SLA.
