Few jobs in a global business are as tough as compliance and procurement. So it’s no surprise that those individuals have some concerns about their profession.

In most big companies, compliance and procurement have traditionally been treated as separate disciplines. That’s beginning to change, however, as the two responsibilities discover common concerns. The latest Compliance and Procurement Sentiment Report from Dun & Bradstreet delves into those two worlds, which are gradually becoming one. We get a look at the study’s findings and lessons learned from Brian Alster, D&B’s global head of supply and compliance. He identifies the issues that are worrying compliance and procurement professionals today, including changing regulations, fraud, global sanctions and technology, the last of which can be boon or bane. Find out how sentiment toward these critical disciplines is changing, and what it means for global organizations and supply chains. Hosted by Bob Bowman, managing editor of SupplyChainBrain.
