On-site operational audits
Our auditors visit your production, storage or service location to directly observe processes, hygiene practices and process controls. We assess what is actually happening on the floor against the requirements of the relevant standard — not only what is written down.
Typical focus areas include hygiene and sanitation practice, process and traceability controls, allergen and contamination management, staff practice, and site infrastructure relevant to product or service safety.
Documentation and system checks
We review your management system documentation — procedures, records, specifications and monitoring data — for completeness, internal consistency, and traceability against the applicable standard's requirements.
This service is often combined with an on-site audit, but can also be delivered as a standalone desk-based review where documentation is the primary object of the engagement.
Supplier and service provider assessments
Commissioned by a trading house, buyer or business partner, we independently assess the compliance status of a supplier or service provider — production sites, warehouses, transport or service operations — and report our findings directly to the commissioning party.
This gives our clients a factual, independently verified basis for supplier qualification, risk management, and ongoing partnership decisions.
Preparation for external audits or certification readiness
Ahead of a formal certification audit by an accredited certification body, we conduct a structured gap analysis against the target standard, identify open findings, and support your team in closing them in good time.
This service prepares your organisation for certification; it does not itself result in certification, which remains the responsibility of the accredited certification body you engage separately.
Follow-up audits and corrective action reviews
Where a previous audit identified non-conformities, we return to verify that corrective actions have been implemented effectively and sustainably — not just documented on paper.
Follow-up audits can be scoped narrowly to the previously identified findings, or combined with a broader operational review.
Structured reporting and documented audit findings
Every engagement concludes with a structured, evidence-based report: scope, methodology, findings, supporting observations, and a documented compliance confirmation. Reports are written to be understood by operational teams and by business partners who were not present on site.
Where relevant, reports include a unique verification reference for the confirmation, allowing an authorised recipient to verify its authenticity.
