Second party operation and maintenance audit
Asset Management and Maintenance Audits was written by Ralph Bell and Jo Harris and published by BSRIA in July 2012. It states in relation to second party operation and maintenance audits:
An organisation may decide to carry out an audit, on its own behalf, on another organisation. It occurs when the integrity, competence, work process or financial standing of a supplier or sub-contractor needs to be ascertained, or the organisation may decide to check on a customer before entering into partnership or providing credit.
Organisations are likely to carry out a second party asset management and maintenance audit on a number of occasions during the building’s life cycle:
- when a new appointee is added to a list of approved suppliers
- when it is necessary to ensure that an existing supplier conforms to stated requirements
- When an asset portfolio is handed back to a client, to assist in the assessment of dilapidation.
