What you are about to read is a follow-up to the first edition of this publication, entitled “Who Rigged the Bids, Combatting Procurement Fraud in the City of Brotherly love.” The first edition was undertaken after a series of training seminars for the City of Philadelphia’s Housing Authority’s Office of Audit and Compliance (OCA). This publication restates and expands upon the need to zero in on a specific type of corruption; that being, Bid Rigging. This iteration is being provided in the hope of not just sharing a tidbit of what I have learned in more than four decades in my quest to bring corruption to its knees, but also to put into action practical ways of detecting and combating this specific type of corruption.
