Step IconWhat We Offer

Know Exactly Who You’re Sourcing From

A supplier audit is an on-site assessment of a supplier’s facility that evaluates their capabilities, reliability, and compliance — before you place an order. Unlike product inspections, which assess your goods, a supplier audit evaluates the company as a whole: its production capacity, workforce, quality systems, documentation, and ethical practices.

As a fully independent third-party quality control company, QCADVISOR conducts these audits throughout China and Asia — with no ties to factories or sourcing agents. You get an objective, unbiased view of your supplier every time.

What is a supplier audit, and why does it matter?

A supplier audit is an on-site assessment of a supplier’s facility that evaluates their capabilities, reliability, and compliance before you place an order. It helps you verify the factory is real and operational, assess their production capacity and equipment, check working conditions and ethical practices, and make an informed sourcing decision — before you commit any investment.

What types of supplier audits do you offer?

We offer four main audit types: the Supplier Verification Audit (SVA) for initial screening of new suppliers; the Factory Technical Audit (FTA) for a deep review of quality management systems; the CSR / Social Compliance Audit based on BSCI and SEDEX frameworks; and a Traceability Audit for sustainable and ethical sourcing. We also perform fully customized audits based on your own checklist or brand standard.

How long does a supplier audit take?

A Supplier Verification Audit is typically completed in 1 man-day. A Factory Technical Audit usually takes 2 man-days, as it includes a deeper review of the quality management system. For customized audits, the duration depends on your requirements — we’ll review the scope and advise the best timeframe.

What happens if a supplier fails an audit?

It’s not the end of the road. We share a detailed report with photos outlining all non-conformities, work with you and the supplier to define a Corrective Action Plan (CAP), follow up to monitor progress, and can arrange a re-audit once corrections are in place. The goal is always to turn findings into improvements.

Do you conduct surprise audits?

We do not conduct surprise audits. We believe all parties — including the factory — should agree to and prepare for the audit. This ensures proper access, availability of key staff, and a more transparent, effective process. That said, we can schedule audits on short notice when urgency requires it.
