Course Sessions\u00a0<\/strong>
Session<\/strong> 1<\/strong> – Governance and Planning
Governance and Planning sets out the underlying culture of an organisation and develops a Governance Statement and Value Base. All the major principles stated in the organisation\u2019s legal constitution, the statements about the purpose of the organisation, and the operational decisions that constitute organisational rules made in the course of managing the organisation are drawn together.\u00a0 The Value Base is then used, throughout the Social Audit, as the basis for setting criteria to monitor consistency between the stated values of an organisation and its general and specific performance.\u00a0 In this session we shall explore the different ways of managing Social Auditing.
Exercise:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Prepare a basic Governance Statement for the organisation
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Session<\/strong> 2 \u2013 External View and Analysis
The External View of the Social Audit is a communication with a wide range of stakeholders.\u00a0 The purpose is to inform stakeholders about the organisation\u2019s activities, to obtain a response to the information and to elicit stakeholders\u2019 attitudes and ideas about the services provided.\u00a0 It will enable the organisation to have an on-going dialogue with its stakeholders on a regular basis.
Exercise:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Preparing and tailoring a set of external Social Audit communication tools\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Session 3<\/strong> – Internal View and Analysis
The Internal View engages and involves staff, board members and other close associates such as volunteers in assessing how the organisation, and its internal systems and structures, operates.\u00a0 It will also test the ability of the organisation to meet the needs of its users and clients.
Exercise:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Preparing and tailoring a set of internal Social Audit communication tools\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Session 4<\/strong> \u2013 Social Accounting Analysis and Reporting
The particular issues and actions that have been identified from each of the previous elements, Governance and Planning, the External View and the Internal View are drawn into plans.\u00a0 Social Accounting includes long-term strategic plans and the shorter term targets of the social objectives, and provides the tools to plan and monitor scheduled activities.
A Social Audit report will include the results of the exercises, the variance assessment between the year\u2019s planned and actual achievements, a general statement about the organisation\u2019s overall performance in relation to the Value Base and trends from one year to the next.
