More than 20 major NC due to low knowledge about compliance audit - How to avoid such issues in future?

We had a compliance audit 10 days ago. We had more than 20 major non-conformances due to a lack of knowledge about compliance audits. Kindly help me avoid this issue now and in the future.

Dear Mr. Saravanan,

It would be more helpful to discuss matters if you briefly outline the points of non-conformity (NC). Whether they are desktop NCs or follow-up NCs, you need to take appropriate action. For desktop NCs, rectify them and provide auditors with photographs or photocopies of documents. In the case of follow-up NCs, rectify the points and inform them for re-audit.

In the future, it is essential to be well-versed in all labor Acts (Factory/Shop & Establishment, ESIC, PF, Industrial Disputes, Gratuity, Bonus, etc.), as well as the key judgments of the Supreme Court and High Courts related to labor wages, welfare, or safety. You may find valuable information on websites such as ILO, SEDEX, SA 8000, BSI MERCH, which offer guidance on compliance audits.

Please bear in mind that compliance audits cover all aspects related to labor welfare, safety, wages, and the environment, making it a year-round process. For further details, you can email me at u4subrata@gmail.com with your NC points.

Thank you.
