What is a social audit
A social audit takes the form of a social inspection, but is only done at the request of your organisation and by an external, independent party, such as VGD. The goal is to get an idea of possible flaws or missing documents, so that you can put them in order before the real social inspection. Afterwards, you will receive a report with additional advice, for example on remuneration policy.
