A contract/licence compliance audit is an evaluation of an organisation's compliance with the terms of a contract. The purpose of a contract compliance audit is to ensure that the organisation is fulfilling its obligations under the contract and adhering to any applicable laws and regulations.

During a contract compliance audit, the auditor will review the organisation's policies, procedures, and practices related to the contract. This may include reviewing documents such as the contract itself, as well as any related policies, procedures, and reports. The auditor may also interview staff and review records and other documents to gather additional information.

Based on their review, the auditor will prepare a report outlining any areas of non-compliance with the contract. The report may also include recommendations for improvement and a plan for addressing any identified issues.

 Here are a few examples of the types of contract/licence audits we can deliver:

1. Procurement contracts: Organisations may conduct a contract compliance audit to ensure that their suppliers are complying with the terms of their procurement contracts, such as delivery schedules, product specifications, and pricing.
2. Service contracts: Organisations may conduct a contract compliance audit to ensure that their service providers are complying with the terms of their service contracts, such as response times, service levels, and scope of work.
3. Government contracts: Organisations may conduct a contract compliance audit to ensure that they are adhering to the terms and conditions of government contracts.

These examples show that a contract compliance audit may be used in a variety of situations, it can be applied to different types of contracts and different industries. The scope of the audit will depend on the specific contract, and the auditor will typically review relevant documentation, such as invoices and correspondence, as well as conduct interviews with relevant parties to ensure that the terms of the contract are being met.  

Contract compliance audits are typically conducted by organisations that are party to a contract, either as a buyer or a seller, to ensure that the terms and conditions of the contract are being met. 

Some examples of organisations that may undertake contract compliance audits include:

1. Corporations: Organisations may conduct contract compliance audits on their suppliers or vendors to ensure they are adhering to the terms of their contracts and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
2. Government Agencies: Government Agencies may conduct contract compliance audits on organisations that have been awarded government contracts to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and the terms of the contract
3. Non-profit organisations: Non-profit organisations may conduct contract compliance audits on organisations that have been awarded grant funding or have a service contract with them to ensure compliance with grant requirements and deliverables
4. Construction companies: Construction companies may conduct contract compliance audits on their sub-contractors or vendors to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations, project timelines, and other terms of the contract.

A contract compliance audit is an important tool that can help organisations to ensure that their suppliers or vendors are adhering to the terms of the contract, and that they are in compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
