Peer Auditor

For some companies, hiring a consultant is not an option, so we offer the Peer Program as an alternative. Through this program, our ACSA setup team will find an auditor on the behalf of the requesting company. In return, the requesting company must have a certified auditor on staff and agree to reciprocate the days owing within 6 months of their own audit.

Under this ‘pay it forward’ system, if your company requires an external audit, and has a full-time employee that is an ACSA certified auditor who can perform your audit, your peer auditor will be required to reciprocate that service back for another company once your own audit is complete.

Peer auditors are not paid by the company they are auditing, though the company they work for must continue to pay them.

To request a Peer Audit, please log onto MyAudit and start the audit process 2-3 months in advance. The wait time to arrange a Peer Audit is approximately 4-6 weeks based on season/activity, and company size and site location(s).

Consultant Auditor

For some companies, participating in the Peer Program is not a viable option, this is where a Consultant Audit is next best suited. For this, your ACSA is proud to maintain a comprehensive directory of ACSA-certified consultant auditors to choose from. Access to this directory is offered to our member companies and is intended to serve as a reliable source for selecting consultants to conduct COR audits. Each auditor within the directory has been screened through our application process and then deemed to be in full adherence with ACSA consultant auditor standards.

The consultant auditors are professionals who have met the requirements of the ACSA and passed the exam. They are held to a higher standard and as such, they charge companies for their time. Arrangements with consultant auditors are the responsibility of the company and dates / cost are negotiated between the two parties.

To request a Consultant Audit, please log onto MyAudit and start the audit process. The wait time to arrange a Consultant Audit is up to 10 business days.

Consultant Auditor Application Process

We accept new applications for the Consultant Auditor Program from April to December each year. There is a blackout period from January to March every year where ACSA will not accept new applications. The interactive application package is available in the Downloads section of this webpage.
