A reminder for internal auditors - the consultation on the 3rd Party Topical Requirement closes on 20/4.

Headlines from me:
💡Content feels more like a typical supply chain audit guide
💡The title is therefore misleading
💡Lacking coverage re wider 3rd parties including p'ships, community groups etc

Just another day at ThinkingAudit HQ…
✅ 3-mile walk in the sunshine before work
✅ Preparing sampling & control testing training for non-auditors
✅ Planning calls for an EQA
✅ Moving from office to kitchen as I can't sit in one place too long 😅
