Is there anyone that may be able to share their organizations practices concerning Purchase Orders and Contracting.
I'm struggling with understand the criteria required for an agreement with a Vendor to become a Contract rather than a Purchase Order. Who makes that decision? We have a purchasing supervisor making that decision at his discression. He does not seem to apply any standard criteria to when something should be a contract. Who is involved? Who maintains master contracts? Is their more risk associated with contracting? One risk of not contracting my be a violation of Anti-Kickback Federal Regulations when rebates are received. (At least in the Healthcare Environment) Are there other risks? Any comments or examples will be helpful Thanks, Dan Clayton 303 436-8821 Internal Auditor, CPA Office of Integrity DHHA *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* To unsubscribe from this list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include the message unsubscribe auditprograms-l and your name.
