Auditing And Due Diligence

Auditing and Due Diligence

Third party audits of social and environmental programs can assist proponents to demonstrate regulatory compliance, eligibility for certification, and increased transparency for stakeholders. Auditing criteria may be existing, stakeholder engagement programs, corporate standards, statutory obligations, lending conditions, or international standards, such as ISO 14001.
