Audit Tools
Institutions use social audit tools to evaluate their intentions, systems, and actions, in order to determine how well they are achieving their social objectives and to identify areas of particular strength or weakness. The results of social audits are used internally by management to inform efforts to improve social performance.
Below is a list of some of the leading social audit tools:
- CERISE Social Performance Indicators (SPI) tool (internally or externally administered)
- MFC Quality Audit Tool (QAT) (externally administered)
- EDA Rural Social Performance Audit (SPA) tool (externally administered)
- MicroSave SPM toolkit (externally administered)
