What is a Peer Audit?
This is an audit carried out by a qualified auditor working for another employer who is also involved in Partnerships. It usually occurs in a situation where employers in a similar industry classification, or a common geographic community choose to arrange audits among themselves through a common Certifying Partner. The employer receiving the peer audit is expected to provide one of their employees (also qualified as an auditor) to carry out an audit of another employer in the group. Arrangements are made through a Certifying Partner for a peer audit, either as an external audit to qualify for a COR, or as an audit to maintain a COR.
