Inside This issue of Procurement Professional - June 2013

Procurement professionals are keen to raise their profile, but a number of recent fraud cases involving purchasing activities have generated the wrong sort of publicity. The latest issue of Procurement Professional includes an in-depth look at procurement fraud in the wake of the recent Leightons affair.

Another ethical aspect of procurement is highlighted in a report detailing the status of ethical sourcing in Australia – another potential risk area for procurement.

The special report in this edition looks at the use of technology in procurement. There’s an examination of the growing use of online resources in the procurement process, with the rise of e-auctions.
And if you’ve ever wondered about how to evaluate offers from e-tenders, we include an article on the emerging use of algorithms as an analytical tool.

All this and the usual coverage of CIPSA events, CIPSA news and our regular columns in the latest edition of Procurement Professional.
