Important Audit Disclosure
The audit assesses the supplier's risk profile based on available information, not guaranteeing future performance. Key limitations include:
- Data Sources: Information is gathered from public records (Government, litigation), on-site observation, and supplier-provided data.
- Supplier Cooperation: Audit completeness **depends on the supplier's willingness to cooperate**. Lack of cooperation may result in key data gaps, which is an inherent possibility.
- Financial Risk Warning: Even if the supplier passes the audit, you must remain highly vigilant against financial and transactional risks during payment and trade.
