Public procurement integrity at riskFraud, waste and abuse (FWA) take many forms, from duplicate invoices, ghost vendors and fake invoices to overbilling billing for goods. Bad actors exploit loopholes in procurement processes. They exploit the government’s inability to connect the dots between the data to see the bigger picture. What’s more, complex, decentralized procurement processes leave room for errors and abuse.
Deceptive and inefficient practices drain government resources – both employees and taxpayer funds. Many departments and agencies are realizing the significance of the funds lost to procurement FWA and are setting up ethics, counter-fraud and governance missions to address the challenge.
Learn more about:
- The procure-to-pay lifecycle.
- Obstacles to spotting FWA.
- How to strengthen government procurement.
- What's possible in the real world.
- How a data and AI-driven approach leads to greater productivity.
