Supplier Verification

Supplier Verification

Supplier verification can include an agreed visit to a trading or storage site, observation of available operations and checks of information presented by the supplier. Findings are recorded with dates and evidence.

Supplier Inspection

An on site supplier inspection helps buyers understand whether the stated goods and activities are visible at the nominated location. It is one input to purchasing decisions and does not certify financial standing or legal ownership.

How an inspection is scoped

Tell us the goods, site, timing and purchase requirements. The inspection checklist, access and reporting method should be agreed before a visit. Findings apply to the goods and evidence available at the time of inspection.
