Second-Party Audit

We strengthen your weakest links

Second-party Audit is also referred to as supplier audit or factory audit. Organizations must develop a robust supplier management and control system to build a strong supplier base.

Globalization, geopolitics, shift in supply chain, short product life cycle and fast changing market conditions present critical supply chain management challenges to organizations.

Second-party audit helps our clients and their suppliers mitigate risks, achieve high standards in quality and safety, meet regulatory requirements and contractual obligations. Non-compliant suppliers can have a catastrophic effect on an organization’s profitability, brand, reputation and stakeholder confidence.

Our supplier audit program and data platform enable our clients to gain visibility to their suppliers’ performance around the world. This in turn allows for increased confidence in the suppliers’ work. We offer domain expertise to address supply chain challenges.

We have a global network of auditors that are fluent in the native language of the desired geographical location who have on-ground understanding of the local market in terms of culture and legal requirements. This allows us to support clients across the entire supply chain to reduce their risks, protect their brand, reduce defects, build consumer trust and quicken time to market.
