APSCA Implementation Team
With the progress towards public comment for the draft APSCA Code of Professional Conduct (Code) and Competency Framework Social Compliance Auditors, APSCA has commenced work on the implementation process for the Auditor Certification process.
We have received interest from some wanting to participate on the consultation group – if you are interested please let us know by emailing director@theapsca.org. We appreciate support from member firms, brands, retailers, schemes, initiatives and any interested party. Whilst this is being developed for certification of auditors, we appreciate and need feedback from those that will be the user and receiver of the services provided by the auditors.
We anticipate the ask to be a couple of 1 hour phone calls over the coming few months plus request for feedback to documentation as it is being developed. The goal is to pilot the examination process during Q4 – specific country(s) TBA.
Look forward to having your participation as we continue to move forward.
