What is a risk of pre-warning a supplier that you will conduct an audit of their facilities?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A risk of pre-planning an audit is the supplier has time to prepare for it. It's a good thing in that they can get their paperwork in order but the downside is they can overprepare so you don't get a realis-tic representation of what they're doing. One way they can do this is coaching staff in what to say to the auditors.

D sounds like the most likely scenario. They'll probably have their staff practicing answers like they're auditioning for a play. Sneaky, sneaky!

Hmm, I think C is the best option. If they're focused on the audit, they might not be able to hit their KPIs. Gotta keep those numbers up!

I'd go with B. If they're too busy preparing for the audit, they won't be able to do their regular work. Can't have that, right?

I agree with Meghann, that's a valid concern. They could manipulate the audit results.

I think the risk is that they may coach staff in what to say.
