Course Overview

Most procurement disputes about procurement internal audit originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on this strand of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Mature organisations treat the procurement and supply operations capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about procurement internal audit in their own setting. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of procurement and supply operations; far fewer can show it working. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in this aspect of procurement and supply operations. Participants gain a realistic view of what procurement internal audit costs and what it returns. This programme builds the wider procurement and supply operations agenda from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the procurement and supply operations capability survives a hostile question.
