Your Trusted China Supplier Auditor
The risks in your supply chain depend on what you're buying.
A furniture factory carries different risks than a garment factory. Our audits are built around the specific fraud patterns, compliance gaps, and operational vulnerabilities of your product category — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
In furniture, it's material substitution — solid wood swapped for MDF mid-production, FSC certificates that belong to a different supplier. In apparel, it's unauthorised subcontracting — your order quietly moved to a third-party workshop with no quality control and no labour compliance. In electronics, it's counterfeit components — capacitors and ICs sourced from grey markets to hit your unit price.
A standard factory inspection — the kind that checks fire extinguishers and counts workers on the production line — won't catch any of these. They require an auditor who understands the specific deception patterns of your industry.
That's what we build into every audit we conduct.
Furniture & Home
The industry where what you ordered and what arrives can be two completely different products.
- Material authenticity: solid wood, veneer, MDF, and engineered composites
- FSC / CARB / TSCA certification validity
- Subcontracting detection: does your sofa actually get built at the factory you visited?
Apparel & Textiles
Where unauthorised subcontracting and fabric fraud account for the majority of sourcing losses.
- Fabric composition verification (polyester vs. cotton, blended ratios)
- Unauthorised workshop detection
- Labour compliance: overtime, minimum wage, child labour indicators
Consumer Electronics
Where a CE mark on a datasheet means nothing if the components inside the product are counterfeit.
- Component sourcing verification (authorised distributors vs. grey market)
- CE / FCC / RoHS certification authenticity
- Production consistency: same factory, same specs, every batch?
Other Categories
Toys, hardware, sporting goods, kitchenware, medical devices — if you're buying it from China, we audit it.
- Category-specific compliance documentation
- Fraud patterns unique to your product type
- Our framework adapts to any manufacturing operation
Four dimensions.
Applied to your product category.
Every audit we conduct — regardless of product category — runs through our four-dimension due diligence framework: entity verification, financial viability, asset condition, and management track record.
What changes by industry is the risk lens. The questions we ask about a furniture factory's material sourcing are different from the questions we ask about an electronics factory's component procurement.
The framework is the same. The application is specific to what you're buying.
Entity Verification
Who are you really dealing with? Legal registration, ownership history, fraud indicators.
Financial Viability
Can they sustain your order? Cash flow, credit exposure, operational solvency.
Asset Condition
What's really behind the production line? Equipment age, maintenance, real capacity.
Management & Execution
Can they deliver, not just quote? Track record, stability, operational discipline.
