In today’s fast-moving supply chain environment, businesses operating across Africa and international markets face increasing pressure to maintain compliance, control costs, and strengthen operational transparency. Reliable audit services play a crucial role in achieving this, helping companies identify risks early and optimise their processes.

For importers, exporters, FMCG distributors, and logistics operators, a strong audit framework isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for long-term sustainability. This is where Wigmore Trading can help.

Why Audit Services Matter in the Supply Chain

Audit services provide an independent assessment of how your organisation is performing. For trade-focused businesses, they help ensure:

• Transparent financial reporting

• Proper inventory and stock controls

• Compliance with local and international standards

• Accurate documentation throughout the supply chain

• Reduced risk of inefficiencies and losses

Whether you manage multiple warehouses, run cross-border operations, or handle high-value goods, audits provide clarity and confidence at every stage of your business.

Types of Audit Services Relevant to Trade & Distribution

Financial Audits

These verify the accuracy of financial statements. For wholesalers and distributors, financial audits highlight cost leakages, margin inconsistencies, and errors in procurement or sales reporting. Wigmore Trading works with trusted professionals to support businesses that require accurate financial oversight.

Operational Audits

Operational audits review internal processes to improve efficiency. In import/export environments, this may include warehouse management, customs documentation, stock rotation, or transport workflows. Identifying bottlenecks early helps prevent costly delays.

Compliance Audits

With ever-changing trade regulations—including customs requirements, safety standards, and supplier verification—compliance audits protect businesses from penalties and shipment disruption. Wigmore Trading helps clients navigate the regulatory landscape, especially when sourcing or distributing goods across African markets.

Inventory Audits

Inventory discrepancies can severely impact profitability. Regular audits ensure stock accuracy, reduce shrinkage, and strengthen forecasting. Wigmore Trading’s distribution expertise allows clients to integrate best-practice stock control across multiple locations.
