Isn’t WRAP just a “check list” approach to compliance on the day the audit is conducted?
WRAP takes a “management systems” approach toward compliance. Thus, each facility is required to assign specific personnel to each principle, conduct training for the workers on the requirements of WRAP and communicate the WRAP principles, in writing and in the local language, conduct its own audits to ensure on-going compliance, and have a mechanism to fix problems found during those internal audits. Thus, when audits by WRAP are conducted – all on an unannounced basis – WRAP seeks to verify that the proper systems, written policies and procedures, and internal controls are in place for the facility to maintain ongoing compliance.
