Audits Clause Samples
The Audits clause grants one party the right to examine and review the records, processes, or operations of the other party to ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the scope of audits, the notice period required before an audit, and any limitations on frequency or confidentiality. For example, a company may audit a supplier’s financial records to verify accurate billing or adherence to quality standards. The core function of this clause is to provide transparency and accountability, helping to detect and prevent non-compliance or fraud.
