Recognised Audit Firms

  • Home
  • Recognised Audit Firms

The SIZA programme adopted a third-party audit approach to ensure a credible and objective evaluation that accurately reflects both the audit outcome and the relevant social and/or environmental requirements within a business. The competency and accreditation of the audit firms are crucial to the integrity of the SIZA audit programme. Part of this process ensures the objectivity and reliability of the audit firm. By adopting this approach, SIZA ensures its independence from the audit companies and drives a robust and reliable process. These third-party audit firms are subject to various monitoring and evaluation activities inline with the SIZA Audit Oversight, Monitoring and Evaluation Policy, and each auditor is subject to the SIZA Auditor and Reviewer Competency Requirements.

Consequently, aspiring auditors seeking to audit according to the SIZA standards must apply to one of the recognised audit firms. Upon appointment by a specific firm, adherence to certain stringent criteria becomes essential and a prerequisite for recognition. SIZA remains dedicated to establishing robust processes and ensuring that monitoring and measurement of the SIZA Standards align with the programme’s methodology and adhere to the SIZA Social and/or Environmental Standard. Given the challenges inherent in auditing, it is imperative to select individuals who are well-suited for the position and willing to embark on the demanding and costly journey to become a Lead Auditor. Thus, carefully considering traits and commitment is vital for success in this chosen career path.
