Gain complete control over your procurement integrity with a comprehensive self-assessment framework designed for modern Australian organisations. This structured programme empowers procurement and audit professionals to systematically evaluate and strengthen every stage of the procurement lifecycle—delivering transparency, compliance, and cost certainty across direct and indirect spend.
Through two targeted modules, you’ll establish a robust audit foundation aligned with local and international regulatory requirements, including APES 110, SOX, FCPA, and public sector procurement standards. The programme enables proactive risk management, helping you shift from reactive reviews to strategic, data-driven auditing.
- Define clear audit scope and authority—determine coverage across direct and indirect procurement based on spend concentration and risk exposure, while establishing formal reporting lines to internal audit, compliance, or procurement leadership.
- Secure system access and materiality thresholds—collaborate with legal and IT teams to negotiate data access, and set transaction value benchmarks to prioritise high-risk areas.
- Conduct advanced risk assessments—leverage spend analytics to identify supplier concentration, repeated sole-source justifications, and split purchasing patterns that may indicate non-compliance.
- Embed fraud detection into audit planning—integrate employee-supplier affiliation checks and unrecorded liability reviews using accounts payable data to uncover hidden risks.
- Develop dynamic risk scoring models—weigh contract value, supplier tenure, and payment terms to optimise audit scheduling and resource allocation.
Designed for procurement leaders, internal auditors, and compliance officers, this self-assessment tool delivers actionable insights that reduce exposure, strengthen governance, and enhance supplier accountability. Whether you're building an internal audit capability or refining an existing process, this programme provides the structure and clarity needed to drive continuous improvement.
