What is First-party Audit and Second-party Audit Services?
First-party audit and second-party audit are both types of audits that can be used to assess the effectiveness of a company’s food safety management system.
First-party audit
An independent, objective evaluation of a company’s food safety management system by internal auditors who are employed by the same company. Internal audits are conducted on a regular basis and are designed to provide feedback to the company’s management on the effectiveness of their food safety management system.
Second-party audit
An audit conducted by a customer or a stakeholder of a company, or a person or organization contracted by the customer or stakeholder, to assess the effectiveness of the company’s food safety management system. Second-party audits are typically conducted on a periodic basis, as agreed between the customer or stakeholder and the company.
Why is First-party Audit and Second-party Audit Services?
Both types of audits are important tools in evaluating the effectiveness of a company’s food safety management system and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
The purpose of an internal audit is to evaluate the organization’s own food safety management system against a set of internal standards or criteria. The audit may be conducted to ensure that the organization is meeting its own internal requirements or to identify opportunities for improvement in its food safety management system.
The purpose of a second-party audit is to evaluate the company’s ability to meet the customer’s or stakeholder’s food safety requirements.
