Envy Manufacturing has several factories located in countries with poor reputations for human rights. It is concerned about potential risks of child labour being used within the supply chain. Envy Manufacturing has therefore decided to enlist the support of a third party auditing company to audit its factories. How should these audits be conducted? Select TWO
Correct Answer:
B, D
2 and 4 are correct. Audits should be unscheduled so that any issues can't be covered up in advance. Interviews with workers should also be conducted in private as this will allow them to speak their mind with confidence. Where interviews are conducted as a group there may be peer-pressure to say the correct thing. especially if there are managers around. see p.88 for information on Audits
