Social auditing is a tool being designed by researchers and practitioners in the field of social enterprise to capture the full social, economic and environmental impact of an organisation’s work in its community. As part of the Social Enterprise Partnership (SEP), DTA is involved in the Quality and Impact tools project led by the New Economics Foundation (nef), and which aims to provide social enterprises with knowledge and resources to demonstrate and improve their quality and impacts.
We hope to improve our engagement with social auditing in 2007 and report to you on this page.
