It is designed to: • Serve as a procedural guidance for SCM staff across the Group. • Assist in providing a clear definition of job responsibilities as well as their interrelationships. • Eliminate information gaps on policies and procedures. • Ensure consistent definition and application of procedures. Specific processes and procedures contained in this manual are tailored to enable a step-by-step implementation of internal guidelines (e.g., Delegation of Financial Authorities) and external regulations (e.g., Local Content). The implementation of the policies and procedures set out in this manual will help to ensure that all entities within the Company maintain sound internal control systems. The manual defines the minimum controls expected within the Group. It also sets out the policies and directives to be followed and the reporting requirements to be complied with.
