Procurement fraud comes in many forms and can increase the cost of procurement by an additional staggering amount of 10%. Consequently, this additional cost will create problems with the project’s budget and have important financial and other implications for an organization. Other critical implications consist of Reputational damage and Health and Safety issues. Therefore, it is universally accepted that combating procurement fraud is vital because of the devastating impact it can have on organizations. Enhancing fraud awareness and introducing effective preventative and detective measures are necessary tools in successfully combating procurement fraud and avoiding significant financial losses. For private companies, successfully addressing procurement fraud can increase profits and for governments minimizing the risk of procurement fraud can effectively enhance its reputation and improve its public services thus attracting more foreign investment as it will become a more attractive destination.
