Analysing nearly 17,000 supplier audits, the authors show that auditors report fewer violations when they have audited the factory before, when audit teams are less experienced or less trained, when they are all male, and when the audit is paid for by the audited supplier. They draw lessons on governance structures that can reduce information asymmetries in supply chains. - 🦉 The article is available in full text to those registered in Professor Marie-Anne Frison-Roche’s courses.
