Assessment

Assessment

  • The assessment module allows you to perform initial and on-going assessments of your suppliers. The system will alert you when these assessments need to be performed.

  • You can define the criteria upon which you need to assess your suppliers.

  • Different suppliers can be assessed against different criteria.

  • Rules can be created so that the system automatically assigns materiality levels to your suppliers based on the assessments you perform.

  • You can then set appropriate governance frameworks for the materiality levels you have defined.

  • The system will then monitor the extent to which these governance frameworks are being followed.
