Good Governance and Integrity in Public Procurement – How Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Can Help
Date: | Time:
The federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments of Canada are accountable for the integrity of their procurement processes. Strong public procurement regimes help foster ethical business practices, ensure due process and uphold the public trust. Managing effective procurement processes is a key practice in ensuring tax dollars are spent wisely.
Given an increase in demand for transparency and accountability, negative media attention, and past ethical lapses from government suppliers, this pressure for transparent and integrity-based procurement is becoming more and more important. At the same time, procurement processes are becoming more complex, more integrated and data rich. This is evidenced by major initiatives to overhaul and modernize procurement systems at various levels of government.
Join us as we look at leading practices in anti-bribery, corruption and effective procurement integrity capabilities. Explore how advanced analytics and artificial intelligence can lead to a more effective procurement integrity program. We will focus on practical tips as well as advanced solutions, which will deliver proactive and preventative measures to ensure your current or future procurement practices are sound, transparent and effectively managed.
