What a good supplier audit record contains
- Quality certificates (ISO 9001, IATF 16949).
- Environmental (ISO 14001).
- Health & safety (ISO 45001).
- Material certificates and test reports.
- Traceability documents per batch.
- Insurance and financial evidence.
The continuous-audit posture
Instead of scrambling before a customer audit, keep evidence current all year. A live Credbase pack means the auditor sees today's documents, not a snapshot from three months ago.
Handling multi-site suppliers
Model each site as its own record if certificates differ. Roll up per-supplier for the boardroom view; drill down per-site for the audit.
