SUPPLIER AUDITS
Certified by GlobalSTD
The supplier’s compliance audits (also called Second-Stage Audits) are based on models that include the client’s specific requirements, which should comply with the national and international standards.
Our Company manages and controls all supplier audits through a digital platform that allows us to keep records and evidence. Also, it allows the user to monitor the supplier’s system’s performance, and clients can access and use the platform to monitor the compliance of their suppliers.
Once the audit has been authorized by the client or the supplier, the next step is a checklist sent by GlobalSTD. This checklist is a self-assessment tool used before the official audit. When an acceptable level of compliance is demonstrated, the official audit is planned and carried out based on the requirements of the established model. Finally, the results of the audit are sent to the clients for their authorization, and then sent to the supplier.
