An audit tells you the fire exits are clear and the payroll records exist. You wanted to know whether to wire $40,000 to a company you have never met. We exist to close that gap — and the way we do it is mostly about what we refuse to do.
Every provider claims integrity. These are the mechanics behind ours — each one either runs in our dispatch system or is a signed declaration.
The dispatch engine refuses a second assignment to the same site, forever. There is no override, not even for a long-standing client.
Familiarity is how bribes start. A man who has drunk with the owner twice will not write down what he saw.
Even for a different factory in the same town, the same auditor is blocked for 90 days.
Industrial clusters are small. Everyone knows everyone. Two visits in a quarter is a social network, not an audit.
Every photo is stored with its original EXIF — shutter time, GPS, device. We keep originals for three years and can produce them on request.
A cropped JPEG proves nothing. The question is not whether the photo looks right, it is whether it was taken where and when we say.
Any 'do not order' has to be co-signed by a second auditor who did not visit. If they disagree, both opinions are printed.
Killing a deal is the easiest way to look diligent. It should be harder to do than passing one.
No commission, no referral fee, no paid 'expedited' processing. Meals and transport are on us. If a factory offers anything, it goes in the report as a finding.
The moment revenue touches the supplier, the report becomes a sales document.
Auditors sign a declaration every quarter. Holding shares in any factory we might audit, or consulting for one, ends the contract.
A consultant who prepares a factory for certification cannot audit it. Everyone in this industry knows this, and half of them do it anyway.
CheckCheck is operated by Osman Group Limited. That one legal entity signs the engagement, issues the invoice and stands behind the seal — which is why it, and not a trading arm, is printed at the foot of every report.
We do not claim national coverage. Outside these clusters we quote longer lead times, and sometimes decline.
41 cities in total. Beyond these clusters the auditor has to fly, so the quote carries a 30% remote-province surcharge — shown as its own line before you pay, along with any rush premium.
Three real engagements, published in full, including the one where we told the buyer to walk away.
