Risk Advisory · Supply chain

Supply chain risk in India,seen clearly from the UK.

Sourcing from India brings cost and capability, and risks that are hard to see from the UK: suppliers in financial trouble, labour practices that breach UK expectations, or bribery by agents. We assess and monitor your Indian suppliers and third parties, so you can meet your UK reporting duties and avoid surprises.
