SMETA gives you an inspection report, not a certificate, but buyers treat it the same way. Your report goes on Sedex, all your buyers can view it, and you don't need to do a separate inspection for each one. This is the most practical thing about SMETA: one inspection, multiple buyers satisfied.
A certificate gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An audit is a check-up: someone inspects your manufacturing unit and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an audit report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
