Why This Training Matters for UAE Public Sector Teams
Procurement by government agencies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai operates under stringent scrutiny through law and audits. All expenditures have to be able to withstand an inspection process either internally by an auditor or externally by an auditing or regulating authority. An error in such a procurement exercise could lead to more than monetary losses; legal tussles may follow. This course provides government officials with the legal knowledge that is required to conduct tenders, evaluate the bids and contract in a manner that would not put their agencies at any legal risk.
