    Prepare your audit

    All relevant documents and or links needed for you to prepare for your audit can be found on your portal: • Normative documents from Control Union Certifications • Relevant standards; some scheme owners require you to obtain the standard directly from them, normally at a fee

    Payment

    To ensure our impartial position, we are required by the rules of accreditation to receive payment before the (first) audit. For purposes of invoicing, we require the following information from you: • VAT number • Invoice address & Finance contact (if different from the address in your application)

    You can edit your payment information in the portal. Note: Control Union Certifications will only make (travel) arrangements and carry out the initial audit after payment of the first invoice has been received
