Why Pre-Shipment Inspection Auditing?
In general, the very reasons that compel a government to use PSI also prevent it from being able to supervise contract performance. A government may not have the resources, the infrastructure, or the jurisdiction to monitor the PSI process. Without an audit program, the government simply has to rely on the technical capabilities and good faith of the PSI companies, thus relinquishing its controlling power. ICS PSI Audit Program safeguards its client governments against PSI deficiencies by raising the level of accountability of the pre-shipment inspection providers. By having the performance of PSI companies monitored by ICS, the contracting government can assure itself that it is collecting all the revenues on imports to which it is entitled, or implement measures to ensure that any deficiencies in the PSI services are corrected. PSI auditing brings transparency and accountability to the entire pre-shipment inspection process and restores confidence in its product.
