As you mentioned, this isn't the first procurement audit in which I've noted the government has ignored the rules.
Let me be clear: I'm not auditing GCStrategies, but rather the government's actions or lack of actions. There was a question I asked during both audits, and I recommended the government identify the root cause of the problems we noted. In my opinion, either individuals don't understand the rules or there are too many rules. The rules are being circumvented, and that's why I recommend the government, to improve the entire process, step back and review its procurement rules.
