Program Description
Contractor purchasing system reviews (CPSRs) have long been a mainstay of U.S. federal government contract compliance; however, while the basic requirements have not significantly changed over time, the government has recently adopted a more stringent and inflexible view of these requirements. Part 1 of this two-part series covers fundamental concepts, such as:
- The purpose and objectives of a CPSR,
- Key procurement compliance requirements (and why these are important), and
- How to assess and improve your company’s CPSR readiness.
Participants will learn about:
- When CPSRs may likely be performed (i.e., remote, inevitable, imminent);
- Key procurement compliance requirements;
- How to assess purchasing system compliance and identify weaknesses; and
- How and when to remedy compliance gaps.
This fast-paced webinar will address the above issues and more while giving you the opportunity to ask our experts for advice about your unique concerns.
