This audit includes an objective, science-based assessment of the AW program using only company policies and procedures that farm follows.
The simple audit provides a simple report to the company using internal FACTA quality control but not a peer-review using our SAC. The final product is a letter indicating that the farm does or does not follow its policy and the appropriate industry standard. In addition the company can request FACTA’s evaluation on how company policies and procedures compare to minimum industry standards (ex. NPB, NCC or UEP guidelines).
