Contract Management and Administration Case Analysis: Auditing Agencies Unearth Procurement Scam Two government auditing agencies have unearthed serious irregularities in procurement of relief items worth Shs10b.

Several employees suffered toxic poisoning, and the Environmental Protection Agency cited the company for violations. In court, the judge found Gray guilty and imposed fines of $15 million.
