GLOBALG.A.P. Approved Software providers for Audit Online Hub
FAQs Audit Online Hub
1. Is it possible to combine different GLOBALG.A.P. standards/modules within one report?
Yes.
Certification bodies have the option of combining or separating standards and
modules or even duplicating inspection/audit reports.
2. Will there be uniform inspection/audit reports?
Yes. The system itself uses the same template across all standards to generate the PDF
inspection/audit reports. Currently, some
certification bodies are still using their own templates, but once certification
bodies start using GLOBALG.A.P. Audit Online Hub, we can expect the market to adopt the template
over time.
3. What is the difference between an online certificate and an inspection/audit report ?
An online certificate is generated through the GLOBALG.A.P.
database and contains information which is related to and mandatory for the
certification process. An inspection/audit report is generated through GLOBALG.A.P. Audit Online
Hub and contains detailed information about the inspection/audit itself, down to the level of
individual control points.
4. Who is using the system? Who has access?
Access is granted only to GLOBALG.A.P. employees and to the
certification bodies to provide the data.
5. What can I do if I have forgotten my password?
If you have an account already and can't remember your password, just make use of the “I forgot
my password” functionality.
6. How much does GLOBALG.A.P. Audit Online Hub cost?
7. We are using our own checklists. Can we keep using them?
As it is a ready-to-use system, Audit Online Hub has a wide set of templates already in place.
You can, however, customize these according to your needs. Your amended checklist must then be
tested in the test system to confirm that it is suitable. For example, if the column order is
rearranged or if a column is deleted, the checklist will not be approved. Customized software
solutions from our partners can also help you to align checklists to your processes. This
eliminates the need for Excel files in the future.
8. Which standards and add-ons are available?
FSMA PSR add-on v1.2, IFA v5.2, IFA v5.3-GFS, IFA v5.4-1-GFS, HPSS v1.2, NM add-on v11.2, PHA
v1.2, IFA v6 Smart, IFA v6 GFS. More standards and add-ons will be added in future.
9. Are checklist questions (incl. control points and compliance criteria available in different languages?
Yes. Currently the checklists are available for IFA v5.2 in English, Spanish, Portuguese,
Russian, Norwegian, Albanian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Vietnamese,
Hungarian, Arabic, Georgian, Bosnian, Greek and Swahili, with more languages to be expected as soon
as they are available.
10. Do we have to upload audit data that was collected before November 2020?
No. Only audit data that is collected after November 2020 must be submitted through Audit Online
Hub. Going forward, audit reports must be submitted via Audit Online Hub before a certification
decision can be made in the GLOBALG.A.P. database.
