Auditing Global Supply Chains – What Influences Decisions?

Thoughtful and important work by Mike Toffel (a former classmate) and others on what shapes auditor-level decisions in their audits of global supply chains. With the crucial gatekeeper role played by these organizations and their individual staff in regulatory and industry-led compliance programs, it is important to understand what influences their decisions.

Reminds me of a point made by Minister Terry Lake: ‘…who audits the auditor…?’
