This NOT a certification audit, but a compliance audit, or '๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜'.


- A BRCGS integrity visit will last one day regardless of the size of the site

- If it is going to happen to your site it will usually be within 3 months of your certifying audit

- You will get very little notice, sometimes none at all (13% compliance audits were unannounced in 2023)

- You could get new NCs (and your CB could get some too!)

- You have a contractual obligation to deal with those NCs just the way you would with your normal CB audit NCs, although, these new ones will not affect your site grade

- BRCGS aims to complete integrity visits on about 0.5% of certified sites each year
