To check whether supplier actually complies with the labour standards set out in the contract, the purchaser should have...?
Many firms have compliance policies for suppliers in place. To ensure that the supplier actually comply with the standards set out, the purchaser can employ the right to audit. The buyer usually obtains the right to examine records of a vendor to determine if a fraud or a violation of company policy has occurred through the following methods:
- Right-to-audit agreement The agreement can be printed on the back of a purchase order, contract, or other procurement form.
- A simple request If the right-to-audit agreement wasn't included on the procurement form, and the buyer suspects irregularities, he may have to beg the vendor to allow an audit to be performed. If the buyer is a major customer of the vendor, the buyer may be able to wield a big enough stick to obtain permission to look at the records.
