Compliance Audit
Legalisation
Unlicensed or under-licensed use of products can amount to a substantial loss of revenue to rights holders. IPF is experienced in conducting compliance audits to ensure legitimate use of licensed products. By following agreed terms of inspection the true use scenario can be established and any discrepancy rectified. An asset management process can be designed and implemented to prevent future licensing shortfalls occurring.
Product Identification
Our experience demonstrates that any audit needs to establish proof of authenticity as well as the volume of usage. We have experienced product identification examiners able to identify the fakes from the genuine thereby extracting full benefit from the opportunity presented by the audit.
Proof of purchase
Often the indication of illegitimate supply is identified through that source of supply. By matching the supplied product to the supplier and following the paper trail, the extent of the supply chain can be revealed. New targets are discovered and additional evidence gathered for use in current cases.
