The RISQS audit process has evolved to introduce a two-stage approach, designed to provide suppliers with greater clarity, consistency and preparation time ahead of their audit. Stage 1 focuses on reviewing your documented management systems and processes, while Stage 2 assesses how those controls are implemented within your organisation.

This FAQ guide answers some of the most common questions from suppliers, including what evidence is required, key submission deadlines, how the two stages work together, and where to find support. Whether you're preparing for your next audit or looking to better understand the updated process, this resource will help you navigate each stage with confidence.
