Logistics & Transportation Compliance Auditing

Service summary

A review of logistics controls against agreed transport, handling and service requirements. The audit examines carrier oversight, shipment records and the operational interfaces that influence delivery condition and reliability.

The service provides customers with evidence for transport-provider oversight and exception management. It does not issue vehicle fitness certificates, transport permits or assurance that every shipment has met its requirements.

Key objectives

• Assess carrier control arrangements
• Evaluate shipment handling evidence
• Examine delivery exception management
• Identify transport compliance gaps

Methodology

Selected shipments are followed from planning to delivery, combining carrier records, handling evidence and interviews with responsible logistics personnel.

• Define transport modes, routes, cargo requirements and relevant criteria.
• Review carrier qualification, service agreements and shipment procedures.
• Select consignments, delays and damage cases for detailed tracing.
• Examine loading, segregation, security and condition-control evidence.
• Reconcile shipment documents, handovers and proof-of-delivery records.
• Evaluate exception responses and the monitoring of carrier performance.
• Report shipment-linked findings and unresolved evidence limitations.
