How can I show we did a good job?
We will review and evaluate the probity aspects of completed procurement processes or stages of a procurement.
Probity auditing provides assurance for your delegate or external reviewers that probity has been properly addressed in the procurement. It also helps identify and act on opportunities for continuous improvement of the integrity, probity and anti-corruption aspects of your procurement process.
Reviewing Completed Processes
We offer independent review and evaluation of completed procurement processes or specific stages within a procurement.
Our probity auditing includes reviewing completed actions and decisions relating to conflicts of interest, Supplier Code of Conduct and management of probity risks to ensure compliance and defensibility.
Through detailed analysis, we assess whether probity and integrity principles were applied appropriately and consistently across the process, identifying areas of strength as well as potential gaps.
Document and Evidence Review
We conduct desktop reviews of documents relating to completed procurement processes or procurement stages to identify integrity, probity and anti-corruption strengths, weaknesses and opportunities.
This process provides clear insights into how decisions were recorded, justified and managed, ensuring transparency and accountability across every stage of the procurement lifecycle.
Interviews and Evaluation
To complement the document review, we complete interviews with key personnel involved in the completed procurement process or stages of the procurement. These discussions help to identify integrity, probity and anti-corruption strengths, weaknesses and opportunities from a practical perspective.
Our findings are used to prepare verbal or written briefings on the integrity, probity and anti-corruption issues identified, as well as to highlight areas of good practice that can be reinforced or replicated in future procurements.
Reporting and Continuous Improvement
Following our evaluation, we prepare detailed written probity reports covering all findings and recommendations. We also provide lessons learned input to support continuous improvement and strengthen future procurement processes.
Our probity auditing service delivers assurance, transparency and practical insights to enhance integrity and compliance across your organisation’s procurement activities.
