Conflicts of Interest

Leading professional services firms inevitably have several clients in similar or related businesses and carry out various assignments for them. For us at Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, we would not have been able to develop the unparalleled industry expertise, we boast of without having to deal with the various issues which arise by providing the range of services. We recognize, however, that this focus brings with it the risk of conflicts, whether real or merely perceived. At Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, we take rigorous steps to ensure that no such conflicts arise by:
1. – conducting conflict checks in consultation with our clients if appropriate, before we accept a new engagement and when we are selecting our teams
2. – assigning, as far as possible, totally separate staff to clients in competing businesses
3. – keeping all client files completely secure. No one other than members or teams would have access to either hard copy or electronic data relating to your Company.

Independence

Public Procurement Regulatory Authority adheres to all independent rules from the relevant regulatory and authoritative bodies. In addition, Public Procurement Regulatory Authority has a strict code covering professional integrity, independence and ethics, which goes beyond generally, recognized regulations. The policies and procedures that make up the code are contained in a manual distributed to all staff who must annually confirm compliance with the code. We take pride in the fact that our independence is non-negotiable. We believe that doing what is right is not only a good investment in the future, it is also essential to our existence.

Confidentiality

“Confidentiality of client information” is at the core of a professional services provider’s integrity and is the bedrock of Public Procurement Regulatory Authority. We have strict policies for maintaining the confidentiality of client information beyond the requirements of the profession’s regulatory bodies. Our code of Professional Practice contains our policies in this area, incorporates the rules of the regulatory bodies and provides specific guidance relative to integrity, confidentiality, independence and objectivity. The usefulness of our services, the viability of our practice and consequently our capacity to serve the client interest depends on the trust of those who rely on our work.

Specifically:-

1 – Staffs are required to maintain confidentiality of client and former client information, as well as information of non-clients that is known to be confidential.

2 – Public Procurement Regulatory Authority restricts access to and maintains control over its work papers. Work papers are made available to persons outside of Public Procurement Regulatory Authority only in limited circumstances and only with prior approval from the client.

3 – Our professionals are required to affirm their understanding of the rules governing the treatment of confidential client information in writing upon commencement of employment with the business. This affirmation is updated on a yearly basis and upon promotion to the management group. Public Procurement Regulatory Authority has a strong, demonstrated track record of successfully working with competitors and affiliates of our clients without any breaches of confidentiality.
