Supplier Due Diligence Checklist: A Risk-Based Review Structure
A practical due diligence checklist covering scope, supplier identity, risk signals, evidence, findings, approvals and remediation.
Guide contents
Confirm supplier identity and scope
Start with legal entity, operating locations, products or services supplied, ownership context and the business relationship being reviewed.
Apply risk-based requirements
Use geography, category, spend, product, customer and regulatory exposure to determine which questions and evidence are appropriate.
Separate evidence from assertions
Supplier responses should identify the documents, records or external sources that support material claims.
Close the review with a decision
The output should be approved, conditionally approved, escalated or rejected with unresolved findings assigned for remediation.
