Supplier Audits
At USB Certification, we offer supplier audit services to verify quality, safety, and compliance within our customers’ supply chains.
Brand / Restaurant Audits
Each supplier audit project is specifically planned in accordance with our client’s expectations, technical specifications, acceptance criteria, and relevant industry requirements. At the start of the project, the client’s audit criteria are analyzed in detail, integrated with the USB Certification audit methodology, and a project-specific audit system is established.
Within this framework, the audit plan, checklists, evaluation criteria, reporting structure, and auditor competencies are defined. Thus, each project is conducted using a systematic and impartial approach tailored to its specific scope and objectives.

The Supplier Audit Process with USB Certification
Audits may be conducted at manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, or other parties identified within the scope of the project. The findings obtained at the end of the process are reported objectively, providing reliable data to support our clients’ decision-making processes. While auditors record the checks they perform in the field through the system, USB Certification’s PRUVA platform allows clients to monitor ongoing and completed audit processes from a single screen, analyze findings, and generate detailed reports tailored to their needs. This ensures transparency, traceability, and real-time information flow throughout the process.
Our audit approach:
• Based on national and international reference standards
• In accordance with the principles of impartiality, confidentiality, and independence
• With a team of expert and qualified auditors
• Conducted using on-site audit methods at suppliers and business partners.
As part of the Easy Check audit program developed by USB Certification, project-specific checklists, control criteria, and evaluation frameworks are prepared by our team of experts, ensuring that audit processes are conducted in an effective and traceable manner.
