Managing risks and supporting accountability through the public procurement cycle in Kazakhstan
This chapter covers issues related to integrity in public procurement. It analyses the existing risk-based internal control procedures in place, and finds that while corruption risk assessments take place, the process could be integrated more effectively into everyday activities. Assessing the application of integrity standards to the procurement profession, this chapter finds that Kazakhstan could develop tailored integrity standards and training for the procurement workforce. Recognising the role of participation by external stakeholders to increase transparency and integrity, this chapter also finds that Kazakhstan could build on existing social control projects to institute a social witness programme. Kazakhstan has taken strides to broaden its complaints management system, and should now focus on ensuring it is efficient and effective.
