On page 8 Wesfarmers describes their auditing plan: "To mitigate the risk of modern slavery and unethical practices occurring
in supply chains, Wesfarmers’ divisions apply their own modern slavery
and ethical sourcing audit programs that take a risk-based approach to
suppliers of products and services." They then show a graph that shows how many audits were done. This looks to be the extent of whether suppliers are being continuously monitored or not.

"Throughout the 2021 financial year, in-country teams, including local ethical sourcing capabilities, were important as international travel was not possible with COVID-19 restrictions. Our in-country teams continued to undertake local supplier visits and audits, when required and as conditions permitted."
pg. 12
"Bunnings focused on remediating issues identified through third-party audits and concerns raised by workers through the Bunnings’ Speak Up program."
pg. 13
"The Wesfarmers internal audit plan includes periodic audits of divisional ethical sourcing programs and compliance with the Wesfarmers Ethical Sourcing and Modern Slavery Policy. The audits are robust and reporting on addressing audit findings forms part of divisional annual reporting requirements."
