Environmental Auditor Guidelines – Provision of Environmental Audit Reports, Certificates and Statements

EPA is increasingly doing business electronically and, since 2005, has asked environmental auditors to provide electronic and paper versions of audit reports. Audit reports provided to EPA by environmental auditors are regarded as public documents1 and therefore must be stored and managed like other public records. To facilitate access to audit reports, EPA is developing an electronic library of all audit reports. Access to electronic reports will initially be through EPA’s main library, where audit reports, certificates and statements will be available for viewing.
