As part of the Compliance+ audit process, APSCo members are required to request feedback from client organisations and candidates on their experience with the member. All responses are sent directly to the APSCo Compliance+ team for review by an external auditor and will not at any point be disclosed to the APSCo member. This feedback is an important part of the audit process and fundamental to achieving accreditation.
