Social Auditor Standards
The Social Auditor Standard Program, sponsored by the US Department of State's Office of International Labor Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility, developed Standards for the Knowledge and Skills of Social Auditors through the use of research, surveys, interviews, and multi-stakeholder dialogue and engagement processes. These benchmarks assist training organizations to identify what social auditors should know at the foundational level. The Program also encourages dialogue on training, testing, and institutionalization of the Standards. Download the final summary report PDF here.
