Also known as second party audits are an external audit performed between businesses or interested parties. Often companies require an auditor to complete an audit of their customers or suppliers on behalf of themselves, which is where we come in.
​
We act on behalf of businesses when visiting suppliers or customers, with our visits giving assurance that the party in question are performing to the required standards of business and therefore are able to represent our client to a satisfactory level.
There are a number of reasons to complete a second party audit. These vary from making up part of the approval process for suppliers of processes critical to your business, to assessing the capabilities of suppliers who non-conformances have been raised against.
​
Customers can also be audited for a variety of reasons, usually to verify their ability to represent your end product to a suitable level within the market place.
