Contract management is really just beginning when the contract is signed. In this edition of Lessons Learned, you’ll learn about each stage of the contract life cycle — from determining a need for services/materials to renewal. You’ll discover best practices for monitoring vendor compliance and ensuring you’re not paying extra for a service UK already offers. You’ll also hear about the costly risks of vendors whose performance goes unchecked. 

Held on Zoom, the session is informal and interactive — we want participants to ask questions so you can get the answers you need to better protect the university and your unit.

You’ve read that duty separation is required in the BPMs, but do you really know what it means? In this edition of Lessons Learned, you’ll learn the importance of properly segregating roles and responsibilities across personnel to help prevent — and detect — inappropriate activities. You’ll hear real examples from events here at UK that reveal what can happen when duty separation is inadequate. And you’ll learn which critical functions and responsibilities must be separated for such tasks as purchasing, compensation and asset management to protect the university.

Held on Zoom, the session is informal and interactive – we want participants to ask questions so you can get the answers you need to better protect the university from fraud and asset misappropriation.
