CRIF Gulf management discusses procurement risk assessment and data identification
CRIF Gulf Dun & Bradstreet Managing Director Manjeet Chhabra highlighted the role of DUNS numbers in supplier due diligence during a radio appearance.
Manjeet Chhabra, Managing Director of CRIF Gulf Dun & Bradstreet, appeared on the Morning Majlis podcast to examine the evolving role of risk assessment within procurement departments. The discussion focused on how modern businesses identify and qualify suppliers in a volatile market.
Central to the conversation was the use of the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, a standardized identifier used to verify the legitimacy and status of business entities. Chhabra noted that such analytical frameworks are essential for procurement teams tasked with mitigating third-party risks.
As supply chain complexities continue to challenge corporate operations, the reliance on objective, data-driven ranking systems has become a standard practice for maintaining vendor oversight and operational continuity.
