• Set up a well-rounded internal testing system
• Received certification for compliance with UL Restricted Substances Compliance Solutions (RSCS)
• Demand our suppliers to sign affidavits banning them from using harmful substances
• Take annual quality audit on materials supplied based on ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and RoHS
• Require suppliers to yield test results from third parties

Internal audit and credit management

Linkz also establishes its internal audit and credit management systems to minimize risks and ensure stable expansion.

Both the internal audit and credit management form a governance structure that is top-down and centralized with clear principles and policies, and regularly submit reports and recommendations to the holding company as well as department heads.

The credit management department, moreover, controls credit based on the “three-stage” approach –

• “Anterior management” via corporate background investigation and assessment
• “Concurrent management” via proactive establishment of legal validity of claims against debtors
• “Posterior management” by accounts-receivable management and collection actions

The computerized credit-management systems further allow credit-control and sales staff to assess and monitor clients’ credit situation and take prompt and appropriate actions when needed.
