Social and Community Relations Audits and Assessments

Community relations and the interactions between local communities and corporate activities have become an increasingly important part of business operations success. In addition to community and social issues being part of many financing covenants, poor local relationships can add considerable cost and complexity to ongoing operations, delaying projects and negatively affecting corporate reputation and even the ability to finance new projects and opportunities.

Project managers, financial institutions and other stakeholders often require social and community relations audits and assessments in order to better understand and manage this risk. We have developed a social and community relations audit protocol framework that not only meets their requirements, but also helps to chart the path forward in this increasingly complex and important area.

Wayne Dunn and Associates has developed a rigorous five-step framework protocol for undertaking social and community relations audits and assessments. The protocol will help to understand the current status, what the historical changes have been and, most importantly, how to best build from the current situation to meet the community relations challenges of the future, helping the firm to turn this issue into a strategic competitive advantage.
