Description
Summary:	Companies looking to ensure that their suppliers are acting ethically as partners, employers, and members of the community often engage auditors to conduct in-person site assessments. But auditors' working conditions are frequently overlooked: They are often alone in dangerous areas and can face threats from factory managers and even local officials. The authors argue that improving the working conditions for auditors strengthens the thoroughness and accuracy of audit reports overall.
