  • Recommend options by which they can be assessed and verified

  • Complete mapping of competencies against the key elements in GFSI Guidance Document Sixth Edition
  • Review generic auditing competencies

  • Develop methods for acquisition and Assessment of Competencies
  • Review  options for publication and management of competencies
