Securing Your Supply Chain

No doubt you have been following my recent Procurement Insights posts surrounding the effectiveness (and transparency) of the RFP or electronic tendering process within the public sector. Referencing the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance as the foundation for evaluating the integrity of an organization’s existing supply chain practice, today's show will enable you to view the subject of risk through an entirely different lens. A lens that may ultimately help you to better align your purchasing department’s objectives with those of the finance department’s. An important consideration given the results of a 2007 CFO survey which amongst other things, questioned the purchasing department’s contribution to the well being of the enterprise as a whole.
