Based on the response of the AWSA board members, CropLife Canada, Fertilizer Canada, and the provincial states of emergencies, AWSA will continue to suspend all in-person audits. This directive will be reviewed again on September 1, 2020.

The feedback AWSA received from the AWSA board members, member organizations, key stakeholders and the directives of other auditing bodies (including governmental agencies) support AWSA’s decision to suspend in-person audits nationally.

It's probable that in-person audits will be suspended for the remainder of 2020. For sites with a virtual audit option, re-audit date extensions are not envisioned. If unique circumstances present that make a virtual audit not possible, please speak with an AWSA Auditor.
