Internal audit questions

How often must member sites be audited?

Every year. The Rules for Producer Groups require an audit of every member site, including an on-site check of plant protection records (4.5.2 a).

Can we keep doing this in a spreadsheet?

For a few members, yes. Long before twenty members the spreadsheet falls behind the register and the field records.

Who sees a member's data?

The member sees its own space. The holder sees what the audit needs. Members cannot see each other.

What if a member joins mid-season?

Add it to the register and it joins the audit cycle that day. Its records start building up at once.

Carrying the paperwork for other people's farms?

See how a group certificate holder runs the registry, the internal audits and the evidence from one place.
