The L5M5 study guide (p.210) specifies that independent auditors must be approved by a certified body (B) and have sector-specific knowledge (C) to assess compliance effectively. While qualifications (D) may be desirable, there is no universal "auditor qualification," and experience (A) varies by sector. CIPS also stresses the importance of auditor qualities such as independence, objectivity, and integrity. For procurement, selecting the right auditor ensures credible, reliable assurance of supplier compliance with ethical and sustainability requirements.
