Why have your supplier qualification and due diligence programme assured?
Everyone is watching you.
Your regulators, your customers, your suppliers, the media and your community. Everyone expects you to engage suppliers that are free from at least the most common risks:
- bribery and corruption in your supply chain
- engagement of sanctioned or embargoed parties
- human rights abuses in the workplace
- unfair or unsafe work conditions
- human trafficking or slavery
- environmental degradation
- privacy mismanagement
- information security lapses
- misuse of confidential or sensitive data
The laws are holding you accountable for managing your supply chain and are proposing high fines, disbarments, public ridicule and significant impact on your reputation if you get it wrong.
Speeki Sentinel™ aims to help you minimise those risks with our independent reporting on your assurance.

ESG Insights
Explore our articles on supplier qualification, due diligence and the legislation that is requiring corporate due diligence.
Supply chain risks are more than just theoretical.
You are expected to know your supply chain. You are expected to qualify them, conduct research and due diligence on them and assure regulators (and other stakeholders) that key risks are not present. You are expected to mitigate risks and address them if they happen. This is all a large set of requirements that must be observed.

Speeki Sentinel™ assurance is the final layer in a reporting project. It is one thing to produce the report, but another to add an assurance layer that provides additional independent analysis. Speeki Sentinel™ assurance offers a protective film that gives credibility and provides a level of protection to the company and those that rely on the report.
If you choose to obtain assurance for your reporting, there is no doubt that a focus on accuracy and completeness will help you improve and strive to achieve higher levels of reporting. Regulators are looking at your reports and the most comprehensive and accurate ones will pass quickly.
Part of our assurance is to validate your risk and to understand your tolerance for managing risk. It is only then that we can look at the due diligence and work out whether it is accurate and complete. While it is not a full risk assessment, the process may help you identify risk that you had not considered or even adjust areas where you might be overdoing it.
Your corporate due diligence efforts are all based on risk. Corporate due diligence costs money and it takes time. Having looked at hundreds of these programmes, we can quickly suggest where you might be able to cut back and readjust, saving you precious time and money.
Some of the best advice you might receive is through the assurance process. While it is up to you whether you heed that advice and build it into your programme, the assurance process comes with some opportunities for improvement. You might find the assurance process is actually a valuable part of your process and cost effective.
