How to indicate my interest to complete an audit

In order to show interest in completing an audit on the new standards, please complete the Setup pages on B Impact. Once you have opted into setup, you will see the pages mentioned below in a view only format. 

Starting on the Submission page
If you have finished your setup pages and are interested in moving forward with the audit, select the Submission page on the left sided menu and complete its requirements.



Once your Review my submission page shows Complete for all necessary sections, there will be a button activated at the bottom “Continue to audit”.

This button allows you to show your interest to complete the audit process, the process in which evidence is reviewed and verified by third party auditors.

Selecting this option is irreversible which means that you cannot undo the selection.

It will ensure that all evidence provided thus far in B Impact will be transferred to the appropriate third party auditor site.

Once you have clicked the disclaimer in the middle and “Continue to audit” there will be a pop up that will confirm your application is successful and review key aspects of this milestone.

The Review your application page will be locked and unavailable for engagement after this point.
