NEW QUESTION # 74
A chief procurement officer (CPO) reviews a tender process and recommendation before making the final submission to the board of directors for approval. The CPO notices that the evaluation team assessed technical and financial capacity but did not conduct an assessment and due diligence on the supplier's environmental, social, governance, anti-bribery, and corruption practices and processes. The CPO has decided to forward the report to the board for approval and seek reassurance from the supplier at a later date once the contract has been signed. Was the CPO's decision the correct one?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Ethical and responsible sourcing requires that environmental, social, governance, anti-bribery and corruption (ESG/ABC) considerations are assessed before contract award, not after. Failure to conduct due diligence exposes the buying organisation to reputational damage, legal sanctions, financial losses, and supply chain disruption. Seeking reassurance post-contract removes leverage and weakens governance controls. CIPS guidance stresses that supplier evaluation must be holistic, covering technical, financial, and ethical compliance to ensure risks are identified and mitigated early. Strategic contracts, in particular, demand robust due diligence to protect organisational integrity and stakeholder trust.
Reference: CIPS L4M4 Ethical & Responsible Sourcing Study Guide (v2) - supplier due diligence; ESG and reputational risk management.
NEW QUESTION # 75
Which of the following financial ratios would indicate a supplier's potential exposure risk to a steeprise in inflation?
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is 'gearing ratio'.
Gearing measures how much of a company's funding is based on long-term debt or loans- this would be affected by a steep rise in inflation. If a company has a mortgage on their offices or facto-ry and they need to remortgage and inflation has gone up a lot- they'll be paying a lot more on their mortgage. This will severely effect the gearing ratio as they'll have more outgoings than incoming.
Gross profit margin COULD be affected by inflation, for example if you've got hyper-inflation and the country goes into recession and people stop buying your product. However, this answer isn't al-ways right and depends on many factors- the industry, the product, the company etc, so for the purpose of CIPS should be discounted. There are many industries which are immune to inflation.
NEW QUESTION # 76
What type of ratio measures a company's ability to meet short-term obligations, focusing on converting assets to cash?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Liquidity ratios (e.g., current ratio, quick ratio) measure whether a company can cover short-term debts with liquid assets like cash, receivables, and inventory. These ratios provide insight into a supplier's ability to remain operational without defaulting on immediate obligations. Profitability ratios show long-term returns; EPS and dividends per share apply to shareholders, not supply continuity. Responsible sourcing emphasises liquidity as a key measure of supplier stability, as poor liquidity can cause supply interruptions or business failure, jeopardising contracts and buyer obligations.
Reference: CIPS L4M4 Study Guide (v2), LO: "Application" - financial appraisal, liquidity assessment.
NEW QUESTION # 77
In which type of sourcing arrangement would the development of astrategic alliancebe the most appropriate?
Answer: A
Explanation:
Astrategic allianceis most appropriate in asingle sourcingarrangement where the buyer relies on one supplier for a significant proportion of supply. Single sourcing encourages long-term collaboration, trust, joint investment, innovation, and shared risk management. Strategic alliances are not suitable for competitive or multiple sourcing, where maintaining competition and switching flexibility is the priority. Internal sourcing does not involve an external supplier relationship. Ethical and responsible sourcing promotes strategic alliances where long-term value, sustainability, quality improvement, and supply continuity are critical to organisational success.
Reference:CIPS L4M4 Ethical & Responsible Sourcing Study Guide (v2) - sourcing strategies; single sourcing and supplier relationships.
