Fraud, Bribery, and Corruption toolkit

This document provides information and advice related to Fraud, Bribery and Corruption and is intended as a resource for all Health Partnerships. Fraud is defined as an act carried out with the deliberate intention of deceiving the charity, its donors, beneficiaries or the general public to gain a personal advantage, or cause loss to another.

Procurement toolkit

Procurement is defined as the act of obtaining or buying goods and services. It refers to steps around the preparation and processing of demand as well as the end receipt and approval of payment.
For health partnerships, it may be one of the riskier areas of financial management, vulnerable to exploitation or abuse. Sound procurement policies are therefore important as they help to ensure that purchasing takes place in an open, fair and competitive way that represents value for money. Policies will include adequate internal controls to prevent possible abuse and enhance accountability, thus also helping to minimise opportunities for fraud, bribery and corruption.
