How to Request a Culture Audit

The International Institute of Corporate Culture & Sustainability (IICCS) offers independent culture audits designed to help organizations assess, understand, and strengthen their corporate culture, ethical practices, and organizational alignment.

Organizations may request an IICCS Culture Audit by following the steps below.

​

​

Step 1: Submit an Audit Request

Organizations seeking a culture audit should submit a formal request to IICCS through its official contact channels. The request should include:

• Organization name and primary location

• Industry sector and size of the organization

• Geographic scope of operations

• Primary objectives for requesting a culture audit

• Preferred audit timeframe

This information allows IICCS to determine audit suitability and an appropriate assessment approach.

​

​

Step 2: Preliminary Review & Consultation

Once the request is received, IICCS may conduct a preliminary review and schedule a consultation with designated organizational representatives. This stage is intended to:

• Clarify the organization’s audit objectives

• Define the scope and depth of the culture assessment

• Identify key cultural, ethical, or governance focus areas

• Explain the IICCS audit methodology and process

​

​

Step 3: Audit Scope & Proposal

Based on the preliminary consultation, IICCS will prepare an audit proposal outlining:

• Audit scope and assessment framework

• Data collection methods (e.g., surveys, interviews, document review)

• Audit timeline and milestones

• Confidentiality and data protection principles

• Applicable fees and terms of engagement

The audit process begins upon formal acceptance of the proposal.

​

​

Step 4: Culture Audit Assessment

The culture audit may include a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, such as:

• Leadership and employee interviews

• Organization-wide surveys

• Review of policies, procedures, and governance documents

• Cultural risk, alignment, and maturity analysis

All assessments are conducted independently and in accordance with professional standards.

​

​

Step 5: Audit Findings & Report

At the conclusion of the audit, IICCS provides a structured report outlining:

• Key culture strengths and improvement areas

• Observations related to ethics, leadership, and workplace practices

• Alignment with recognized culture and sustainability principles

• Practical, actionable recommendations

​

​

​

​

​​

Step 6: Post-Audit Support (Optional)

Organizations may choose to engage IICCS for follow-up support, including:

• Leadership briefings or feedback sessions

• Culture improvement planning

• Periodic reassessments or monitoring

Participation in post-audit services is optional and separate from the audit process.

 

​​​Confidentiality & Independence

IICCS conducts all culture audits with strict confidentiality and professional independence. Information provided during the audit process is used solely for assessment purposes and handled in accordance with applicable data protection principles.
