The interim Executive Board of the Association of Professional Social Compliance Auditors (APSCA) is pleased to announce the acceptance of eight new member organizations, bringing APSCA’s membership to 17.  The new members are:  AsiaInspection Limited, AUS-MEAT Limited, Control Union, DNV GL – Business Assurance, DQS CFS GmbH, Insite Compliance LLC, International Compliance Group Inc., and SMT-Global (Global Strategy Management Technology Co.

These organizations have demonstrated the competencies required via an application process, 3rd party due diligence and an interview to ensure members are professional organizations which meet APSCA’s standards.
