One needs to understand that outsourcing an activity is "an activity" and needs to be monitored to get the benefits and reduce risks. Depending upon the feasibility and the criticality, it is always a worthy practice to conduct periodic informed and / or surprise vendor audits. Especially with the vendors where there is a lot of information exchange either in soft / hard copy formats.
