Procurement governance upholds fairness, integrity, and efficiency in sourcing decisions, while regulatory compliance safeguards organizations against legal, financial, and reputational risks. As procurement processes grow increasingly complex and globalized, it is essential for leaders to be well-versed in governance principles, ethical standards, and compliance frameworks.
This course explores governance models, procurement legislation, regulatory standards, compliance oversight, risk management, and international best practices.
