Preparing Your Team for an On-Site Procurement Review

Team collaborating in a bright office meeting room

The first week of fieldwork fails when nobody owns the document queue. Name a liaison who can retrieve contracts, GRNs, and approval emails within two days. Export the PO population before we arrive — waiting for IT access mid-engagement wastes calendar time you have already paid for.

Block closing-meeting time with finance and purchasing at the start, not the end. Findings that surprise a single controller on Friday afternoon rarely survive a calm review with the people who own the controls. We would rather debate a draft for an hour than watch a final register circulate unread.
