Why partner with Audit Advisor?
Finding the right certification body often requires businesses to contact several providers, confirm accreditation details and compare the cost of the full certification cycle. Audit Advisor brings the initial search into one place, allowing users to review potential providers before submitting a request for quotes.
For certification bodies, this creates an additional route to companies that are already considering certification. Rather than paying for general advertising traffic, partners can discuss commercial terms based on relevant inquiries received through the platform. Each inquiry represents a potential business opportunity, not a guaranteed quotation, sale or certification contract.

A Developing Channel
with Realistic Expectations
Audit Advisor is still developing its presence in the United States. We cannot yet provide a reliable forecast of monthly inquiry volume, and demand is likely to vary significantly by standard, state, industry and the availability of suitable certification bodies.
We prefer to establish realistic expectations from the outset. An introductory partnership gives both sides an opportunity to evaluate the inquiries received, assess their relevance and determine whether the channel is commercially useful. Any inquiry limit is agreed individually and should not be understood as a minimum delivery guarantee.

How the Partnership Works
Audit Advisor maintains a directory intended to include eligible certification bodies regardless of whether they have a commercial arrangement with us. Partnership arrangements may provide additional visibility in relevant search results, but they do not expand a certification body's accreditation scope or override the requirements of a particular certification scheme.
Users review potential providers before entering detailed company information. They choose which certification bodies should receive their inquiry and confirm those recipients before submitting the request. Any commercial influence on search placement should be clearly identified, while the final choice of recipients remains with the user.
A certification body receiving an inquiry remains responsible for reviewing the applicant's requirements, confirming its ability to provide the requested certification service and preparing its own quotation.

How It Works
A business searches for certification bodies
The visitor selects the relevant management system standard and U.S. location. Audit Advisor displays potential providers using the available accreditation and directory information.
The visitor selects certification bodies
The business reviews the results, chooses which providers to approach and confirms the intended recipients. The request is not automatically distributed to every certification body in the directory.
The business submits certification details
After choosing recipients, the applicant provides information about its operations, certification scope, locations, workforce and contact details.
Certification bodies review and respond
The selected providers assess the inquiry, request clarification if needed and prepare their own commercial proposals where appropriate. Audit Advisor does not influence their audit planning or certification decisions.
Qualified inquiries are billed under agreed terms
Partner charges apply only to inquiries meeting the qualification criteria agreed in advance. Neither inquiry volume nor conversion into a certification contract is guaranteed.
Visibility in Search Results
Directory inclusion and paid placement are separate matters. Eligible certification bodies may appear in the directory without becoming commercial partners.
Where a paid partnership influences the prominence of a certification body, that commercial relationship should be identifiable to visitors. Search placement does not establish that a provider can accept every assignment associated with a particular standard.
The applicant's detailed activities and certification scope become available later in the request process. Certification bodies must therefore carry out their own application review before confirming their ability to deliver the requested service.
For management system certification, organizations can consult the ANAB directory of accredited certification bodies and other relevant accreditation or scheme directories.

What Is a Qualified Inquiry?
For the purposes of a commercial partnership, a qualified inquiry is a genuine request for certification services submitted to your organization through Audit Advisor, containing sufficient information for an initial assessment.
Qualification criteria are agreed before the partnership begins and may cover the requested standard, geographic service area, applicable accreditation or scheme recognition, relevance of the applicant's activities and usable contact details.
Duplicate submissions, fabricated contact information, obvious spam and requests clearly outside the agreed service scope should not be chargeable. An inquiry does not become invalid simply because the applicant ultimately selects another provider or decides not to proceed with certification.
We agree in advance how disputed inquiries will be reviewed and how any necessary billing adjustments will be handled. The same applicant may also contact other certification bodies through the platform.

Pricing and Introductory Terms
Our proposed commercial model is based on a fee per qualified certification inquiry. During the introductory period, there is no upfront listing fee or monthly retainer.
Before a 30-day introductory trial begins, we discuss the price per qualified inquiry in U.S. dollars, any applicable taxes, inquiry limits, invoicing arrangements, dispute procedures and termination terms.
The introductory trial is an opportunity to assess the channel. It is not an offer of unlimited free inquiries, nor does it guarantee a particular number of leads or certification contracts.

Reviewing the Trial
At the end of the introductory period, we review the inquiries actually received, their relevance to your services, any qualification disputes and the usefulness of the channel for your business development team.
Both parties can then decide whether to continue under mutually agreed terms. Audit Advisor does not take part in the certification body's application review, audit program, technical decisions or certification approval process.

What We Expect
From Partner Certification Bodies
To create a good experience for users, we ask partner certification bodies to follow several basic principles.
-
Fast response
Please respond to certification requests within two business days whenever possible. A faster response improves the user experience and increases the chance of winning the project. -
Transparent quotes
Quotes should clearly describe the certification scope, audit stages, estimated timeline, certification cycle, and any additional fees or expenses that may apply. -
Reasonable follow-up questions
Audit Advisor collects basic information to reduce friction for users. If additional information is needed, we recommend asking concise follow-up questions instead of sending long forms at the first contact. -
Professional certification process
Audit Advisor is intended for legitimate accredited certification services. We do not support “certificate-only” requests or offers that bypass a proper audit process.
Why Certification Bodies May Benefit
Audit Advisor can be useful for certification bodies that want to:
- receive additional inbound certification requests;
- reach companies already comparing certification providers;
- increase visibility for selected standards or service areas;
- reduce dependence on cold outreach;
- test a performance-based lead channel without upfront advertising spend;
- receive requests aligned with their accreditation or recognition scope.
About the founder
Audit Advisor was founded by Alexander Chumachenko, who has worked in the management system certification sector since 2013. His background includes certification-related commercial work, audit planning and management system audits. He is also a practicing DQS auditor for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 22301.
That experience informed the design of a service intended to reduce the repeated administrative work involved in requesting quotations, while giving certification bodies a clearer picture of an applicant’s requirements. Audit Advisor is an independently operated comparison and inquiry service; it is not a certification body and does not issue certificates, perform certification audits or make certification decisions.

Strategic Partnership
and Business Development
Audit Advisor is also interested in discussing long-term strategic partnerships with established organizations operating in the United States. Potential partners may include certification industry groups, management system consultancies, business service platforms and organizations with the commercial resources and market knowledge to support further development.
Audit Advisor brings an existing digital platform, specialist knowledge of management system certification and practical auditing experience. A strategic partner could contribute established industry relationships, business development capabilities, local market insight and resources needed to expand the platform's reach.
We see an opportunity to improve how U.S. businesses discover and compare certification providers while developing a scalable commercial channel for the certification industry.
We welcome confidential discussions about potential business development arrangements. The structure and responsibilities of any long-term partnership, including possible ownership arrangements, would be considered privately and subject to the necessary legal and commercial review.
