In this webinar, we discuss CAPLAW’s new Sample Procurement Policy for CAAs, the Uniform Guidance requirements for procurement, and how to apply the policy in a CAA’s day-to-day purchasing and vendor selection decisions. An effective procurement policy is a pillar of sound fiscal management, ensuring that a CAA obtains the best value when purchasing business-related products and services, and also minimizes fraud, waste, and abuse.
