COMPLETE FACTORY AUDIT
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

Complete Factory Audits review, confirm, and appraise key points such as factory ownership, factory management, factory size, factory production capabilities, and factory legal operating status. This very in-depth audit includes topics such as: management, manufacturing, machinery, materials, packing, quality control, test equipment, certifications, as well as a basic social compliance component.

Use this service if you would like a truly comprehensive, in-depth appraisal of a supplier to better determine their suitability as a trading partner.

BASIC FACTORY AUDIT
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

Basic Factory Audits review, confirm, and appraise key points such as factory ownership, factory management, factory size, factory production capabilities, and factory legal operating status. The BFA is similar to the CFA, but the BFA audit service does not include reviewing and appraisal of the materials, packing, and testing departments, nor does it include a social compliance component.

Use this scaled-down supplier-audit service if your budget does not allow for the higher-priced, more comprehensive Complete Factory Audit (CFA).

COMPLETE RESELLER AUDIT
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

Complete Reseller Audits review and confirm key points such as company ownership, company management, company size, company legal operating status and business bank accounts for a non-manufacturing supplier such as a sales agent, import-export company, broker, distributor, or other middlemen entity. The CRA also includes plentiful digital photos of the company facilities.

Use this audit service prior to transacting business with, or making payment to, an agent, broker, or trading company to help reduce your payment risk.

BUSINESS LICENSE CHECK
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

KRT will confirm with the local, relevant business license issuing governmental agency, your supplier's official company name, current operating status (valid or invalid), license registration number, company registration address, the legally responsible party, and the validity date range of the license. You must provide us with your supplier's business name in your supplier's native written language.

Use this service if your main concern is that your supplier is a legally licensed business entity in good-standing with the relevant, local governing agency.

COMPLETE SOCIAL AUDIT
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

Complete Social Audits review and confirm a supplier's manufacturing and administrative operations against globally recognized social compliance standards including key topics such safe working conditions, working hours, worker wages and compensation, rest and vacation time, underage labor, forced labor, prison labor, disciplinary practices, discrimination, representation, etc.

Use this service if your customer requires social compliance certification. Excellent as a pre-audit evaluation for Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, Shopko, etc.

C-TPAT ANTI-TERRORISM AUDIT
Satisfaction 100% guaranteed!

The C-TPAT audits against the C-TPAT guidelines to ensure your supplier is fully compliant.
