In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation imposed on an
individual requiring that they adhere to a reasonable standard of care
while performing any acts that could foresee ably harm others. In
order to proceed with an action in negligence, the plaintiff must be
able to articulate a duty of care imposed by law which the defendant
has breached. In turn, breaching a duty may subject an individual to
liability in tort.

the legal obligation of a Procurement Auditor /Chartered Procurer or
