Currently we screen our new vendors prior to issuing any payment to them. However our auditors, in their interpretation of FFIEC, said we should be screening them before we even have a relationship with them, before they do any work for us instead of waiting until they have done their work and we are ready to make a payment. This would be much in the same way we would screen our new customers, up front before any money exchanges hands. We would continue to screen each existing vendor before making a payment. Does anybody have this issue? How are you screening your vendors currently?
