If the audit is performed by two individuals—either from the project team or associated with the project building—this credit requires either one of the following:
Those individuals receive brief instruction in APPA auditing processes, scoring levels, and verbiage. The most important aspect of the training is ensuring that auditors consistently and accurately assess cleanliness. Training can consist of reading through the APPA guidelines, learning the benefits of honest audit results (such as pinpointing opportunities for improvement), and reviewing the forms.
Or, your project team integrates a post-audit, quality-control system to ensure accurate and consistent results relative to APPA guidelines. This might consist of a third person reviewing the completed audit findings to ensure that they are appropriate and impartial. Additionally, someone from the project team may want to review some of the audit findings while the audit is conducted to make sure your staff auditors are on the right track.
