Foreign-trade audit

When this is needed

• Shipments are regular, and you want to check the way of working.
• There were remarks, delays or confusion in the document sets.
• The contract model or the range of goods is changing.

What we do

• We look at a sample of documents and a description of your processes.
• We record gaps between the contract, the document set and clearance.
• We give a priority list of what to close.

How the work proceeds

1. 01

   Scope

   We agree which shipments and documents we review.

2. 02

   Review

   We cross-check processes and the document set.

3. 03

   Findings

   We describe gaps and risks without a guarantee to “fix everything”.

4. 04

   Plan

   We propose next services, if they are needed.

Which documents may be needed

The exact set depends on the goods, country, regime and the requirements of the authorized bodies. The list is a guide, not an exhaustive inventory.

• Typical contracts and invoices
• Examples of document sets for shipments
• Internal procedures, if you have them
• Correspondence about remarks — if you wish

What we look at

• Too narrow a sample of documents.
• Expecting an audit to replace day-to-day clearance.
• A demand to name loss or savings figures that do not exist.

What result we expect

• A report on visible gaps and risks.
• Priorities for the document set, the contract and clearance.
• Without invented KPIs and client cases.
