We have a supplier that is on the other side of the world and were looking at different options to verify that the supplier’s controls are sufficient.
We initially though that we could have a virtual audit of the supplier but after a bit of research, many do not recommend this approach for critical suppliers.
Our second option is to hire a auditing service to audit the supplier which would most likely be more cost and time effective than having a individual from the company fly across the world.
My initial though is obviously the performance of a service that completes supplier audits and the main question. Will the auditing service be considered a critical supplier and we will have to audit them?
Would you be able to share your opinions and ideas on how to complete this task most efficiently and cost effective?
Thanks!
