Complex supply chains, involving multiple entities and operating across different geographies and sectors, are a regular feature in the defence industry. Supply chain corruption can manifest in both supplier selection, as well as contract delivery. This risk category contains 5 indicators, covering public disclosures of specific topics such as the involvement of the procurement department; supplier due diligence; anti-bribery and corruption standards for suppliers; cascading standards throughout the supply chain; and high-level data on supplier allegations and ethical investigations.
For more information on this risk category, see our summary page on The 10 Key Risk Categories or to view the specific criteria see the DCI Indicators.
In this research, a ‘supplier’ refers to any company that has a direct business relationship and/or interaction with the main company (sometimes known as tier one or first generation suppliers). A company’s supply chain in this assessment refers to all suppliers, contractors, sub-contractors and vendors. This definition applies to all questions within this risk category.
Each company’s overall score is broken down into two question categories – those measuring ‘policy’ and those measuring ‘transparency’.
‘Policy’ indicators relate to the standard and amount of publicly available information on the company’s policies and procedures that aim to reduce the risk of corruption. There are 37 indicators that fall into this category, plus three that include both ‘policy’ and ‘transparency’ elements. For more information, see the DCI Methods Paper.
Each company’s overall score is broken down into two question categories – those measuring ‘policy’ and those measuring ‘transparency’.
‘Transparency’ indicators relate to the public provision of data that can help mitigate corruption risk in the sector overall. There are 16 indicators that fall into this category, plus three that include both ‘policy’ and ‘transparency’ elements. For more information, see the DCI Methods Paper.
For each risk category, companies receive their score in the form of raw ‘points’ and an equivalent score out of 100. Providing a score out of 100 helps improve comparability across categories and companies.

Accenture PLC | 1/2
There is evidence that the company's procurement department is involved, in some capacity, in the establishment and oversight of supplier relationships. The evidence suggests that this department is the main body responsible for the establishment of new supplier relationships and oversight of the supplier base. The company receives a score of ‘1’ because there is no evidence that the company assures itself of the procurement department’s involvement at least every three years through clearly stated means, such as an audit or other assurance process. |
1/2
There is evidence that the company has formal procedures to conduct due diligence on all suppliers. There is evidence to suggest that the company is willing to review and/or terminate supplier relationships in circumstances where a red flag highlighted in the due diligence process cannot be mitigated. However, there is no evidence that the company’s due diligence process includes, at least, checks on ultimate beneficial ownership. There is also no evidence to suggest that highest risk suppliers are subject to enhanced due diligence. In addition, although there is some evidence to suggest that due diligence is conducted periodically throughout the business relationship, the frequency of these checks is unclear; there is no evidence to suggest that due diligence is conducted at least every two years or when there is a change in the business relationship. |

Based on publicly available information, there is evidence that the company’s procurement department is involved in the establishment and oversight of supplier relationships. The company states that a central procurement department is responsible for the onboarding and review of the supplier base, while noting that in some smaller entities this process is managed by a specific procurement or supply chain manager. However, the company receives a score of ‘1’ because it does not provide any publicly available information to indicate that it assures itself of the procurement department’s involvement in the onboarding and management process at least every three years. |

Based on publicly available information, there is evidence that the company has formal procedures in place to conduct risk-based due diligence when engaging and re-engaging with suppliers. The company indicates that the degree of due diligence is dependent on a number of factors including type, size and geographic location of the supplier, and states that various red flags and sanctions list are checked during the process. There is evidence that highest risk – termed ‘critical’ in the company’s documents – are subject to enhanced due diligence and self-assessment requirements every two years. However, the company receives a score of ‘1’ because it does not clearly indicate that this due diligence process includes establishing the ultimate beneficial ownership of the supplying company. There is also no clear evidence to suggest that the company might review or possibly terminate supplier relationships in circumstances where a red flag highlighted in the due diligence cannot be mitigated. |

Based on publicly available information, there is evidence that the company ensures that its suppliers have adequate anti-bribery and corruption policies and procedures in place. The company outlines these expectations in its Supplier Conduct Principles, which stipulates standards on facilitation payments, gifts and hospitality and whistleblowing. In addition, the company states that suppliers must comply with its Ethical Code of Conduct which contains similar standards covering these areas. There is evidence that the company takes active steps to ensure that these standards are being upheld, for example by requiring that all suppliers complete a self-assessment as part of the onboarding process, conducting annual reviews on a selection of companies and by cooperating with suppliers to improve their policies if necessary. |
2/2
There is evidence that the company takes steps to ensure that its sub-contractors have adequate anti-bribery and corruption policies and procedures in place, and that the substance of its anti-bribery and corruption programme is included in sub-contracts throughout the supply chain.

The procurement department coordinates a procurement policy orientation committee where supplier lists are approved.

The company indicates that it takes active steps to ensure that all suppliers have adequate policies in place by including such considerations in its selection criteria and publishing details of the international standards that it expects suppliers to follow. In addition, there is evidence that the company makes its whistleblowing channel available to those employed by business partners. However, the company receives a score of ‘1’ because there is no clear evidence that it requires suppliers to specifically have policies in place that prohibit facilitation payments and procedures to cover risks arising from conflicts of interest or gifts and hospitality. It is also not clear whether the company assures itself of this both when onboarding new suppliers and when there is a significant change in the business relationship. |

Points
POINTS: 0/2
This question is looking for evidence that the procurement department is involved in, and is ultimately responsible for, the onboarding of new suppliers over a certain value threshold.
A company’s procurement department plays a vital role in ensuring that the proper due diligence checks and approval processes are followed, both at the onboarding phase as well as in the day to day management of supplier relationships. It is essential that the procurement department is responsible for the management, monitoring and oversight of the company’s entire supply base so that any risks can be understood and appropriately mitigated. Centralisation of records and oversight can aid the streamlining of the supplier base and reduce numbers of suppliers and their overlap. This in turn can improve the quality oversight of more manageable supplier numbers.
The assessor is looking for evidence that the company assures itself of the procurement department’s role in establishing and maintaining oversight of its suppliers. The company is not required to publish a specific threshold such as size, value or frequency of interaction for the suppliers captured in this question, but it must be clear to the assessor that such a determinant is in place and that this metric is proportional to the supply base. As an example, a company may refer to any suppliers over a certain size, value of contract, frequency of interaction or whether a purchase order is required, depending on its structure and operations.
