Public Procurement Audit and Control
Procurement system reform is characterized in particular by the creation of an independent Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA) and National Tender Board (NTB). Their primary mission is to ensure that contracts are awarded in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions currently in place. The seminar in “Public Procurement Audit and Control” focuses on the identification of common errors, on the development of a control checklist designed to prevent those errors and to prevent rejection of bids by the NTB or cancellation by PPOA.
