Services

Audit and readiness services tailored to your organization's supply-chain verification needs.

Internal Audits

Gap-closure & readiness reviews

Internal audits help identify documentation gaps, evidence needs, and process weaknesses before third-party assessments. You receive prioritized corrective-action plans to close gaps efficiently.

Use-case: Preparing for SFI/FSC certification, ISO audits, or improving internal chain-of-custody controls.

Supplier Audits

Supplier verification & traceability checks

Supplier audits verify chain-of-custody controls, document authenticity, and field-level practices. Findings are documented with evidence and tied to corrective actions for supplier improvement.

Use-case: Validating supplier claims, risk screening, or building audit-ready evidence packages for regulators.

Readiness Support

Pre-assessment preparation

Readiness reviews simulate third-party assessments to identify high-risk gaps and evidence shortfalls. This gives teams time to correct issues before formal audits.

Use-case: Organizations approaching certification deadlines or regulatory compliance milestones.

What you receive

Clear scope, transparent process, and actionable outputs designed to close gaps and reduce risk.

Audit process overview

Planning: Scope definition, risk assessment, sampling plan
Evidence review: Document checks, field visits, interviews, and traceability verification
Reporting: Findings tied to evidence, prioritized corrective actions, and closure checklists

All work is confidentiality-first and tailored to your organization's scope, geography, and timeline.

Deliverables

• Audit plan with clear objectives and sampling strategy
• Evidence-based findings (strengths, gaps, risks)
• Prioritized corrective-action roadmap
• Final report (and optional follow-up verification)

Reports are written to be easy to use: executive summary, scope and method, findings tied to evidence, corrective actions, and an evidence checklist for closure.

For a budgetary estimate, share the number of sites/suppliers and locations. Formos quotes in simple "days of effort" plus travel at cost (if needed).

About

A brief background and what to expect from an engagement.

Parag Kadam, PhD (Formos)

Formos is led by Parag Kadam, PhD — a forestry and supply-chain specialist focused on traceability, due diligence, and practical implementation in the field. Our work is practical and evidence-driven: we identify what matters most, document it clearly, and translate findings into corrective actions that teams can execute. The result is a cleaner, lower-risk supply chain and an audit-ready evidence package that stands up to scrutiny.

Capacity & coverage

Formos delivers small projects quickly — and can scale multi-site or supplier work with contract audit associates when needed.

How projects are staffed

Work is led by Formos with a clear audit plan, sampling approach, and secure evidence handling. When scope requires, additional contract audit associates can support field visits and evidence collection under the same plan.

All work remains evidence-based, confidentiality-first, and bounded to the agreed scope and objectives.

Coverage focus areas (examples)

• Forestry operations & BMP verification
• Chain-of-custody controls & traceability checks
• Supplier risk screening & document review
• Environmental management practices (field + records)

Coverage and staffing are tailored to geography, supplier network size, and the depth of verification required.

FAQ

A few clarifications that prevent misunderstandings and save time.

Are we a certification body?

No. Formos provides internal audits, supplier audits, and readiness reviews. Formos does not issue third-party certification certificates.

Can Formos support readiness for SFI/FSC assessments?

Yes. Readiness reviews can identify gaps, evidence needs, and practical corrective actions so organizations are better prepared for future third-party assessments.

Do we work remotely?

Yes. Many readiness reviews and document assessments can be performed remotely; onsite visits are used when field verification adds value.

How do we price work?

Work is scoped in "days of effort" plus travel at cost (if needed). Quotes depend on number of sites/suppliers, locations, and complexity.
