    OVERVIEW

    Vendor/Contract audits require a certain skill set to understand the terms and conditions of a contract between a Company and any given vendor where products or services are outsourced. Understanding the risks that are inherent within them is the first step in developing audit objectives and steps. The primary focus of the audit is the vendor (third party) activities pertinent to a contract. A majority of the fieldwork on these types of audits will likely be performed at the Vendor’s office and this is a significant advantage to the auditor. This course will spend some time discussing different contract terms and the risks associated with them, for example “Cost-Plus”, “Fixed Fee/Lump sum” and “Time and Materials”. We will discuss the proper breakdown in time spent on a typical vendor audit and where the focus of that effort should lie. Examples of real-life vendor audit issues and how they were discovered and resolved will be shared. Additionally, we will discuss an example of an audit program, vendor confirmation letter and contract brief.

    WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

    With an increased focus on outsourcing services within organizations, awareness of contract terms and conditions and how to audit them are invaluable to organizations. Taking a proactive stance on performing vendor audits on contracts can result in real dollar savings to organizations, not to mention invaluable comfort to Management that outside vendors are performing in accordance with terms and conditions of given contracts. This course will provide you with a basic understanding of different contract terms, different ways to determine the scope of the audit given contract terms and conditions, how to plan, perform and report results of a vendor audit. Examples of templates will be provided for every step of the audit process.
