Explanation of different types of audits?
I have a little situation that has a big confusion and argument which is that I worked at an independent auditing company and I have a contract with one of the famous retail store, to 1- audit their own retail store according to their own checklist and according to their own standard each quarter of the year.2- also to audit their suppliers according to their checklist and standard .
my question is in the first case what type of audit it will be ( I think it will undergo the first type of audit as internal audit), & also at the second case what type of audit it will be ( I think it will be the second type of audit - supplier audit).
THANKS

Here's a presentation on auditing I posted before. It should help explain the various types of audits.

Dear Mustafa,
IMO your client has an interests or stakes in audits 1and audits 2. The first audit type is internal audit(self audit) while the 2nd one is for their suppliers based on their terms(external/supplier audit).. You as a consultant/facilitator forms part of the client organization team.
Ihope this suffices.
