Probity Fundamentals

Understanding the fundamentals of probity is the key to running defensible processes and maintaining high levels of accountability in government.

Overview

Recent high profile investigations have put the spotlight on conflicts of interest, probity and corruption in government. Governments around the country have responded with new regimes, which they say will reduce the risk of corruption, and increase transparency, integrity and accountability, particularly in government tender processes.

What our clients say

Probity Fundamentals workshop

I now feel I have knowledge that I would previously had to rely on my probity and procurement advisors/officers.

A great opportunity to calibrate and confirm processes and procedures are aligned, also judgement is consistent.

Course content has greatly increased my knowledge of procurement. 

Jamie is a very passionate and engaging presenter. Jamie is able to inject humour into what can be a very dry topic. This greatly assists in the learning process.
