Report Assurance
Assurance of your Social Return on Investment (SROI) or social impact report is more than just a rubber-stamping exercise. It is also a learning process designed to help you improve the way you measure and report impact. During the process, your report will be independently checked by an independent assessor. They will check that your report shows a good understanding of The Principles of Social Value and practice.
