In businesses involving aspects such as infrastructure, leases/rentals/insurance, outsourcing, manufacturing, supply chain, maintenance and facilities, there is greater vulnerability to procurement fraud and any non – compliance can further dent the bottom line. Irrespective of whether non – compliance by third parties and/or businessassociated is deliberate or not, it is important for firms to establish an effective system for contract compliance and monitoring of contracts.

Mr. Aditya Bhat

To have such a framework in place, companies must understand the various forms of contractual non – compliance and their impact on the company.
