abstract = "The aim of the paper is to present the finding of an investigation conducted at a local branch of an international company involved in the construction of renewable power plant in South Africa. The study followed a quantitative design approach to identify the correlation between the organizations internal controls and its supplier's performance. Therefore, a purposive sampling technique i.e. questionnaires, was electronically sent out by email to 40 employees involved in the construction of renewable power plants. The results of the study revealed the organization failed to define and implement an effective supplier selection process. The results also revealed that the expected quality performance of the supplier was not clearly documented and quantified in the contract documents. There was no consideration taken by the organization about employee's capability and competence in managing the project. Due to the nature the study, the results cannot be generalised throughout the whole industry.",
