Strategic Sourcing Auditing and Assurance

Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online

This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether e-procurement systems and supplier relationship management are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion.
