Common questions

What teams usually ask.

Can Watchdog review supplier questionnaires?

Yes. We can review responses and supporting evidence against an agreed risk framework.

Do you conduct social audits?

We can help scope, assess and follow up audit work. On-site audits may require an appropriately qualified local provider.

Can this work be managed in a central system?

Yes. The Responsible Sourcing Hub is designed to organise suppliers, evidence, reviews and actions.

Important information

Compliance support. Your organisation’s decision.

Watchdog Compliance is a regulatory compliance consultancy, not a law practice. Our assessments, findings and recommendations are professional compliance opinions based on the agreed scope, information and assumptions available, and sources current at the date of the work. They are not legal advice or legal opinions and do not guarantee compliance, regulator acceptance or any particular outcome.

Your organisation remains responsible for checking the information it provides, considering our recommendations, obtaining legal, technical, testing or other specialist advice where appropriate, and making and implementing its final decisions.
