Diagnostic Audit
To carry out the audit, Arola’s audit team uses the following methods: examination of documentation, interviews with managers, and observation of activities.
Objectives
The objectives of a diagnostic audit in relation to the AEO can be diverse. Among them, for example, are
- To find out the degree of compliance with the conditions (requirements) established for the AEO authorization, either with the purpose of immediately undertaking a project to obtain AEO authorization, or to assess the resources and time needed for future AEO implementation based on the results.
- To detect deviations and opportunities for improvement in relation to customs regulations, that is, as a tool for managing customs risks.
Audit methodology
To carry out the audit, Arola’s audit team uses the following methods:
- Examination of documentation (documented procedures, customs declarations, training records, etc.)
- Interviews with managers.
Observation of activities and facilities.
For example, activities related to the reception of merchandise from a third country or, for example, in the case of an AEOS authorization, verify the effectiveness of the security measures implemented in facilities with customs activity.
Deliverable
- Audit report with the result of the diagnosis (non-compliance, opportunities for improvement) and conclusions.
- Corrective actions and/or action plan
