WHY THE NEED?
An independent policy audit and review is a meaningful way to exercise due diligence and obtain an independent opinion on a policy's suitability, authenticity and effectiveness. It upholds the United Nation's six principles of responsible investment (PIR).
WHAT PURPOSE DOES AN AUDIT SERVE?
Policy Audits & Review provides some assurance that through the employment of suitable and effective policies, an organisation is being authentic to all involved.
Is your policy fit for purpose?
