What is a load carrier audit?
An audit is a one-time or periodic check on a specific part of a company. This includes conducting an investigation into the load carrier process, a registration and administration check and providing an audit report with the findings.
The load carrier audit can be conducted at any type of company. Our consultants dive into the load carrier process and review the operations with a critical eye. A mandatory intake will take place prior to the audit, unless you have undergone our consulting process at an earlier stage.
The audit can be done periodically, for example once a quarter, once every six months or every year. A one-time audit is also an option.
What does the load carrier audit involve?
During the intake, we first examine the load carrier process and the associated registration method. We check if there is an overview of how many quantities of load carriers are owned by the company and how many are in the rented pool. Finally, our business consultants examine how load carriers are registered and whether all types of load carriers are included.
After the intake, we start conducting the checks and crosschecks on the load carrier process. The consultants will dive into the internal and external control processes and carry out physical checks. We look at how load carrier transactions take place and how these transactions are registered. The agreements with counterparties are identified, along with any financial consequences. The consultants also look at the purchase and sales orders and how the load carriers are included. Does the company’s administration execute financial checks and how are they done?
Report
At the end of the audit, the scores are summarized in a report. This report describes for each audit check what the improvements are compared to a previous audit and where the company is still at risk. With the hands-on report, the company can implement changes right away so that they can show improvements in the next audit.
