Can a Contract Auditor Work for More Than One Registrar?

[MaEh81vvv]

I’m just curious. As an independent contract auditor, can somebody do audits for more than one agency?

Welcome to the Cove. What is meant by "agency"?

 

[MaEh81vvv]

agency as in registrar such as BSI, UL etc

Can somebody contract audit for two or more of them at the same time?

 

[Mike S.]

I wouldn't see why not, but there are folks on here who will know better than I do.

 

[Ed Panek]

I think so however most "agencies" would look for a more available contractor if they were not available frequently.

what is the context? Where in the world? Many moons ago, here in the USA, some registrars had an exclusivity clause in their contracts with independent auditors. It didn’t take long and some of these individuals challenged such limitations and invoked restriction of trade concerns. So, nowadays, in the USA, most CB’s have both full time employees and non-exclusive contract auditors.

In other countries exclusivity clauses might be legal.

Totally depends on the contract itself, there are no fixed rules. I can work for whomever I want, as much as I when and when I want.

I changed the thread title this morning after the OP responded. In other words, I found out what the OP was talking about before responding with a potentially incorrect reply.
