Vendor onboarding and due-diligence policy

Vendor onboarding and due-diligence policy

Create a vendor only after verifying identity, contact information, category, ownership information where required, tax details, and payment instructions through approved channels. Check for duplicate vendor records and conflicts of interest. Sensitive bank-detail changes require independent verification. Maintain evidence of onboarding review and restrict vendor-master changes to authorized users.
