FSC Audit

[Muddy]

We've been certified for 5 years now and it's time for our Annual Audit. In the past I've just accepted Smartwood's fee without much debate. This year I want to try and lower as many costs as I can and will be putting them in a competitive environments (no pun intended).

Can anyone provide a few links to other companies that can perform this audit? I'm in Canada if that has any bearing.

I'm assuming this would require a new certification number to be issued since you would be changing certification bodies, no? Just curious.

We have used a company called BM Trada, who were very competitive.
