"Auditors visit our partner factories annually or biennially and administer a full audit with every visit. For complete definition and insight of A&F’s third party auditing process, please visit our Corporate site. Certain high risk factories or new facilities may receive more frequent audits or unannounced audit. Each audit consists of a factory walk-through, confidential interviews with workers, and a review of relative documentation (e.g. payroll, time records, employee age verification, etc.). To maintain the integrity of the audit, the Company does not provide the audit date to the factories ahead of time. However, to ensure the necessary personnel is available and the documentation can be gathered in time, we do offer a two-week window during which the audit will occur."
