Welcome to the Social Auditor Standards Wiki
Verité and CREA are facilitating the development of standards for the knowledge, skills, and competencies of social auditors for a baseline auditor training standard. The US Department of State's Office of International Labor Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility supports the Project, which runs from January 2008 – December 2009. This wiki's goal is to bring together stakeholders to collaboratively develop standards for the knowledge and skills of social auditors.
Standards for the Knowledge and Skills of Social Auditors Released on October 15, 2009
After more than a year of research and public consultation and dialogue, Verité and CREA are releasing the Standards for the Knowledge and Skills of Social Auditors, which provide a benchmark to assist social auditor training organizations to identify what social auditors should know at the foundational level. The Social Auditor Standards Program, sponsored by the US Department of State’s Office of International Labor Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility, developed these standards through the use of research, surveys, interviews, and multi-stakeholder dialogue and engagement processes. These Standards comprise Stage I of the Program, while Stage II will focus on issues related to teaching and testing of these standards, and Stage III will center on dialogue to create recommendations for institutionalization of the standards.
