I believe that points to one of my findings: that I had no reason to believe that this is limited to a specific vendor. I don't have a reason to believe that we are seeing this behaviour because it was contracts with GC Strategies. This is because it is across so many organizations, and it echoes the findings in my first report, which looked at contracts with McKinsey & Company.
I do believe that it's about going back to the basics, honestly, of knowing what the procurement rules are and really appreciating why they're put in place. Most contracts—94% of the contracts—required a time sheet, and to not collect them is a bit of a head-scratcher, because that's the easiest way to show who did what.
