Audit

SIZA strives to ensure continuous improvement within agri-businesses, allowing for economic growth, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship throughout the supply chain.

During the recent SIZA Social Auditor training, a session was held on how auditors influence the employees during an audit and more importantly, the impact auditors have on the whole business.

One might ask why SIZA recognises five third-party audit firms to conduct SIZA audits. The motivation behind such a wide variety is to ensure producers have a choice to select a firm that they are comfortable with.

A total of 674 social audits were conducted in the period 1 January to 31 December 2020. This results in a median of 56 social audits per month.

No audit can be completed unless the packhouse and/or processing facility was operational at the time of the audit.

When SIZA auditors note any discrepancies between the member’s profile or SAQ information and the information they gathered during an audit, they need to inform SIZA immediately.

Die skedulering van derdeparty-oudits is ‘n belangrike deel van die ouditproses en dit moet korrek gedoen word.

The scheduling of third-party audits is an important part of the audit process and it needs to be done correctly.

In die landboubedryf is daar baie gevalle waar ‘n sakeonderneming verskeie produksie-eenhede of -besighede besit en bedryf as deel van die ondernemingstruktuur.

In the agricultural industry, there are many instances where a business entity owns and operates several production units or operations as part of the company structure.
