Avoiding Pitfalls in Procurement Policies

 

Lack of training of procurement staff and customers, and lack of enforcement is often problem number one.

By allowing people to do confirming orders and get reimbursed, the vendor could look at that person as your agent assuming whatever they buy is for your company; and because they got paid it appears that that person is authorized for purchasing which can create a problem for your organization. This video reviews other pitfalls in procurement policies and the importance of keeping your staff well educated.
