Core Principles of Integrated Supply Chain Management Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM) is built on a foundation of core principles that guide its implementation and ensure the attainment of sustainable value.

This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the environment in which decisions and actions are made. The ultimate goal is to achieve efficiency and optimization, resulting in what is known as Absolute Value. Understanding Absolute Value Absolute Value refers to the actual gain derived from an activity, decision, or action.

Zim Property Sector Under Scrutiny for Money Laundering

Image
Strengthening Real Estate Sector to Combat Illicit Financial Flows The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has urged Zimbabwe’s real estate industry to enhance its mechanisms for identifying and preventing illicit financial flows (IFFs). A senior official highlighted that the sector is increasingly becoming a hub for transactions that divert significant funds from the economy.

Chiperesa explained that cash-heavy transactions are often directed toward high-value assets such as real estate and vehicles. He noted that these transactions serve as indicators of potential money laundering activities. "What we then do is to try to look at the manifestations of those cash transactions," he said. "They normally manifest themselves throu...
