OIG Bulletin, June 2022, Vol. 3, #2,

This special issue celebrates the 25th anniversary of the OIG’s Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) program, which began its work in 1997 to further the OIG’s mission to prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse in the expenditure of public funds by educating public employees and others about state law requirements and best practices in public procurement.

  • A brief overview of the history of the MCPPO program
  • A summary of MCPPO program offerings  
  • An introduction to MCPPO program instructors and staff
  • An interview with a long-time MCPPO program instructor
  • Feedback from MCPPO program students
  • FAQs about the MCPPO program
