Detecting Antitrust Crimes as a Potential Victim: Price Fixing, Bid Rigging, and Market Allocation
The presentation will raise awareness among procurement professionals of antitrust crimes, and specifically the patterns associated with bid rigging, price fixing, and market allocation. In most instances, the institutions that procurement officials work for will be the victims of these crimes. So, the program will also teach procurement professionals what to do and which departments they need to consult when they suspect that they have detected bid rigging, price fixing, or market allocation.

Staying on the theme of the federal government, we have an update on Uniform Guidance.
Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards, 2 CFR 200
Well, the time has finally come and the three-year grace period for the Procurement Standards section of 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) is over. More familiarly known as “The Uniform Guidance,” this set of Federal regulations – especially the Procurement Standards – has stirred up such a controversy that OMB called a “Procurement Time Out” three years in a row. Now we’re back to “Time In,” and the question is, “Are you prepared?” In this session, Burr Millsap will cover all the points you’ll need to know to examine your institution’s readiness.
