Basically, a second-party audit occurs when a pre-
existing relationship, such as a customer, performs
an audit of a supplier to verify that they are
meeting a specific contract requirement. You can
conduct these audits on-site by reviewing the
supplier's processes or even off-site by reviewing
the supplier's documents. Depending on the
customer's needs, the contract may be audited in
whole or in part. Ibex Systems' experienced auditors
can conduct second party audits for your vendor’s
processes.
