Learning Lab 4: Introduction to Bonds and Surety's
 
Surety bonds play a crucial role in government procurement by mitigating the risks associated with contracting projects, ensuring accountability, and protecting taxpayer funds. They provide a level of assurance to the government that projects will be completed as agreed upon and that all parties involved will be fairly compensated. Surety bonds are a type of financial guarantee that ensures contractual obligations are fulfilled. In government procurement, surety bonds serve as a form of protection for the government and taxpayers against financial loss due to contractor default or failure to meet contractual obligations.
