What is Vendor Compliance?
Vendor compliance is a procedure that ensures your current and future
vendors comply with your company’s policies. Vendor compliance
includes up to date insurance verifications, W9 IRS form compliance,
Workman’s Comp verification, even background checks. All vendors
should be required to provide documentation to demonstrate they are a
legal and legitimate business.
CRA/PCI will perform your vendor screening and verify that each
vendor’s business information is valid, up to date and in compliance with
your policies and procedures. Once we approve the vendor and all
documentation is verified and in our database, they are placed on your list
of approved vendors. Their documents are available to you 24/7.
Why Request Vendor Compliance by a third party?
Most companies are aware of the liability that is associated with a vendor
that is not properly credentialed. Having all your vendors verified through
our extensive vendor compliance service is a part of providing quality
service. It is the job and responsibility of CRA/PCI to ensure that your
vendors are and remain in compliance with the policies of your company.
We take an impartial position so no one “slides by”.
What Are the Benefits of Having Vendors In Compliance?

 You know each vendor has submitted up to date W9
 You know each vendor has appropriate insurance in force

any kind of watch list (pedophile, sex crime, felony, terrorist list
etc.)
 You know your residents/customers/employees and goods and
properties are safer.
 You can advertise to customers that all vendors are screened.
 Vendors know we do a check every 30 days so they are very
careful. They need and want our verification logo on their site.

Ramon, CA

important than ever to really
know who you are sending
out to your clients, tenants
and communities. I
recommend CRA/PCI to
anyone who is thinking of
protecting their investments,
clients and tenants." K.
Zaun, Carlsbad, CA
"I would not hesitate to
recommend CRA/PCI to
anyone in need of vendor
screening services. You
won't find a company more
knowledgeable about this
business or more dedicated
to client services."
K. Cove/, San Diego, CA
"In today's time, it is
imperative that Property
Managers follow the Vendor
Compliance program. Not
only has the service reduced
our liability, by keeping our
vendors in compliance, it
weeds out the vendors who
do not carry the proper
credentials in their industry."
