Audit Echo – Worker Engagement for Smarter Compliance

Audit Echo is a digital tool developed by International Associates to strengthen social audits through confidential worker feedback and data-driven insights. It supports blended audits, workforce surveys, and performance monitoring — helping suppliers, brands, and public sector contractors get closer to the real conditions on the ground.

If your business is serious about ethical compliance, transparency, or modern slavery risk management, Audit Echo gives you the insight to act.

What is Audit Echo?

Audit Echo is a secure platform that captures direct input from workers through surveys and anonymous engagement tools. It works alongside traditional audits or as a standalone workforce insight solution — helping you meet labour standards requirements under schemes like:

• SA8000
• NHS LSAS
• SMETA / Sedex
• PPN 06/20
• ISO 45001
• Modern Slavery Act 2015

Audit Echo is built for global supply chains and can be customised for different languages, risk profiles, and audit formats.

Collect honest feedback on working conditions, management practices, safety, and rights.

• Blended Audit Integration

Combine Echo surveys with site visits and document reviews for a complete compliance picture.

• ILO Indicator Screening

Aligns with the 11 ILO indicators of forced labour and can flag hidden risks often missed in interviews.

• Cultural & Management Insight

Go beyond compliance to understand leadership style, trust levels, and worker engagement.

• Multi-Site Analytics

Compare results across sites, suppliers, countries, or buyer programs to identify trends and gaps.

• Secure & Confidential

Fully anonymised responses, GDPR-compliant, and adaptable to ethical review frameworks.
