What Is a Pre-Audit?
Your Farm’s Dress Rehearsal Before the Real Exam
A certification pre-audit is a full internal assessment of your farm against the exact checklist that the official certifier will use — conducted before the real audit date. Think of it as a mock exam with a coach who knows all the questions.
Most farms that fail their first certification audit do so not because of poor farming practices, but because of documentation gaps, record-keeping errors, or field conditions that could have been fixed in days. A pre-audit catches all of these before they cost you your certification.
We work to the same standards and checklists used by accredited certification bodies. Our consultants have direct experience with Kenyan farm conditions, Kenyan auditor expectations, and the specific non-conformances that most commonly cause first-attempt failures in Kenya.

How It Works
Your Pre-Audit Journey — Step by Step
Free Discovery Call (30 minutes)
We discuss your farm size, target certification, crop type, current record-keeping status, and audit timeline. You receive an honest assessment of your readiness and a clear cost estimate. No charge, no obligation.
Document Pre-Review (Remote)
Before visiting your farm, we review any existing records, certificates, maps, and farm management documents you share with us. We flag immediate documentation gaps so you can start fixing them immediately.
On-Farm Pre-Audit (Full Day)
We visit your farm and conduct a full assessment using the official certification checklist — covering all 8 audit areas. We inspect field conditions, storage, equipment, records, worker facilities, and farm boundaries. We identify every Critical, Major, and Minor non-conformance.
Gap Report & Corrective Action Plan
Within 48 hours of the farm visit, you receive a written gap report listing every non-conformance found, its severity (Critical/Major/Minor), the exact corrective action required, and a realistic deadline for each fix. This document becomes your audit preparation roadmap.
Implementation Support
We support you through fixing every gap — providing record templates, checklists, signage requirements, training notes, and on-call guidance via WhatsApp as you work through the corrective action plan.
Audit Ready — You Pass
When the official auditor arrives, your farm is fully prepared. Records are complete, field conditions meet requirements, and your team knows what to expect. 94% of our clients pass on their first official attempt.
