Auditing in Service Providers is an important management tool for assessing risks originated by outsourced companies, which we call “Third Party Auditing”.

Over the nine years of activity, the tool has already provided important results for our Clients, mainly regarding the hiring and maintenance of economically healthy and stable outsourced companies, minimizing the financial risk and considerably reducing the volume of litigation.

With the implementation of the management tool called “Auditing in Third Parties”, the company initially seeks a company that manages the lowest volume of litigation and, for that, evaluates the effective compliance with labour and social security legislation of service providers.

If the provision of services generates any labour demand, we evaluate the “health” and financial stability of each of the service providers, preventing any labor executions against the outsourced company from turning against the Contracting Party, due to insolvency by the principal debtor.

The purpose of the audit is to ascertain the real situation of the contracted Service Provider companies, mainly evaluating the following points:

Full compliance with labour and social security legislation;

Correct payment of charges and taxes arising from the employment relationship;

Legality for the service provider company to perform the services offered to the Contracting Party (Social object in the articles of association, authorizations from competent bodies, necessary qualifications);

Risk of insolvency of the service provider;

Necessary and sufficient infrastructure to provide the service offered.

After the evaluation of all points, an "x-ray" of the service provider is presented and a degree of risk is offered to the Contracting Party, varying between level "1" (one) that corresponds to the best service providers. services, up to level “6” (six), which correspond to companies that offer imminent and serious risks to the Contracting Party.

After carrying out the Initial Audits in outsourced companies, when it will be possible to ascertain the situation in which the companies are at the time of the evaluation, it is recommended that the Permanent Audit of the companies be installed, allowing the extension of the security determined in the initial evaluation or even, the monitoring aiming at the improvement of the Service Provider, as long as its evaluation is not compromising and/or irreversible.

The frequency or spacing between the so-called Maintenance Audits will be provided for in the visit schedule, prepared jointly between the Office and the Service Contracting Party, giving priority to companies whose risk level was high.

In the Maintenance Audits, the most critical points found in the Initial Audit are prioritized, observing whether there have been improvements or not compared to the previous assessment.

In order to minimize the bureaucratic and administrative activities of the Office’s Lawyers and Consultants and offer greater security and credibility in the information handled, we have an internal structure called “Paralegal”, which is responsible for supplying the Procedural Management System, launching deadlines, elaboration, consolidation and dissemination of the Hearings and Technical Expertise Guidelines, carrying out diligences and capturing publications in the Official Diaries.

The Paralegal Team is formed by professionals graduated in Law and Supervised by a Lawyer specialized in Administrative and Paralegal activities.
