All Audit Firms must be in Good Standing with APSCA to:
Audit Firm
The date for audit firms to be in Good Standing for the AGM is 31 August 2018.

All changes in Membership Category from 2018 level will be communicated to the audit firm. We will commence the AGM lead up process during the month of September based on audit firm categories as at 31 August 2018.
CSCA Examinations
We are preparing for the rollout of the CSCA Exam (Part 1 – Multiple Choice\Short Answer) which is anticipated to begin in September.
Auditor information is being reviewed for all auditors who have completed their on-line registration, including their fees paid and assigning one of the two APSCA Auditor Levels:
Only those auditors who have the level of Registered AND are in Good Standing, will be eligible to sit the CSCA Exam. Please note the anticipated closing date for this will be 31 July 2018.
My Auditors App
APSCA are continuing to enhance Member benefits with the My Auditors App initiative targeting improved visibility of auditor registration and accreditation under the APSCA certification program. The app will be available to Member Firms whom have completed their on-line registrations. APSCA will contact these organisations directly to grant approved personnel access to the My Auditors App. This will allow Member Firms to see their auditors who have registered and assigned auditor level with APSCA.
Note: Further assessment of an auditor's level may be required pending Member Firm review.
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Annual General Meeting
APSCA participated in the ASI Annual General Meeting which took place in Perth, Australia on 24 May 2018. This was a great opportunity to reinforce the relationship between ASI and APSCA.
"APSCA's participation in the 2018 AGM Week helped raise understanding of APSCA's work with our company and civil society members. In a multi-stakeholder discussion about human rights challenges and opportunities, Rona Starr (APSCA President & CEO) described how APSCA is taking practical steps to enhance the professionalism and credibility of the social compliance industry. In facing global human rights challenges relating to corruption, gender, labour rights, and the rights of Indigenous peoples, social compliance auditors can play a critical role alongside company culture and the willingness to learn and improve. ASI appreciates the work of both APSCA and its members and is committed to supporting APSCA's progress." said Dr Fiona Solomon, ASI CEO.

APSCA Newsletter - April 2018
During April, APSCA continued to leverage a productive March quarter through focused development of an improved Member Application and Auditor Certification Process. The Association also actioned development of an Ethics and Integrity Program with the appointment of an Ethics & Integrity Advisor.
The Association's President & CEO, Rona Starr commented "Rationalization of our administrative function is critical to the preservation and promotion of our core mission; to enhance the professionalism, consistency and credibility of social compliance auditors. Q1 2018 delivered substantial advancement across the five pillars of our Strategic Plan and will continue to foster industry confidence to better service our Members".
Auditor Registrations
We are enrolling auditors associated with APSCA Member Firms who are now completing their registration online in APSCA's data system. Of our 40 member firms, 13 have completed their auditor registrations representing over 900 auditors. Over 2,500 auditors are scheduled to be fully registered by the end of May 2018.
We encourage our Member Firms to have their auditor's subscribe to APSCA's newsletter to stay up to date here.
Auditor Certification
Last month we shared our progress on Auditor Certification. We are incorporating the learnings from the China Pilot and working with third party experts to finalize an examination process which is scalable and cost efficient for all. This requires development of the following:
The Executive Board has prioritized development of an enhanced application process for Member Firms effecting a temporary hold on the processing of new member applications until the process has been finalized.
APSCA Membership has always been accepted on a provisional basis with all member firms required to re-apply following launch of the improved application process.
The new process is expected for release in Q3 2018, following which APSCA will contact all provisional members and pending membership applicants to initiate the revised process.
APSCA Stakeholder Board Developments
Additional to the Executive Board, APSCA is serviced by a dedicated, multi-stakeholder Board with independent, brand, retail and initiative representation. The Stakeholder Board shares three members with the Executive Board and has provided almost three years of support and guidance.
During April, Mr Jan Furstenborg, announced his retirement from the Stakeholder Board following much thought and deliberation. Mr Furstenborg was ASPCA's first independent Stakeholder Board member and instrumental in the development of the Competency Framework and Code of Professional Conduct.
Mr Furstenborg has offered to provide ongoing guidance to APSCA on an ad-hoc basis as we continue our growth and development. We wish Jan the best in his retirement and thank him for his gracious support and willingness to advise APSCA in an ongoing, albeit unofficial capacity. APSCA is pleased to announce that Mr Wesley Wilson has taken the position recently vacated by Mr Furstenborg.
With Mr Darrell Doren stepping down earlier this year and the movement of Mr Wesley Wilson to the role of independent, the Stakeholder Board are pleased to welcome Mr Christian Ewert and Ms Jan Saumweber to the Stakeholder Board with immediate effect. Mr Ewert is the Director General of amfori, a leading global business association for open and sustainable trade and Ms Saumweber is the SVP Responsible Sourcing for Walmart. To read more about Mr Ewert and Ms Saumweber click here.
APSCA would like to thank both Jan Furstenborg and Darrell Doren for their years of contribution to the Stakeholder Board and welcome Christian Ewert and Jan Saumweber.
Ethics & Integrity Advisor
The process to develop an Ethics & Integrity Program was agreed during the Executive Board meeting this past March. Tim Lindon has been brought on by APSCA to lead this work and joined as a Senior Advisor.
Mr Lindon is a Senior Fellow at the New York University School of Law Program on Compliance and Enforcement, and formerly Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer for Philip Morris International.
According to Mr Lindon, this will include the handling of allegations where APSCA members (firms and auditors) have alleged to have violated APSCA's Code of Professional Conduct adding "APSCA will implement an ethics and integrity program that is transparent, credible, efficient and workable".

THE HUNGER IN THE FOREST: FUUUURRRRR NBUM by Rosaalda Brandao is published
June 04, 2019
A cultural book, which tells the story about the relationship between two best friends in a struggle for survival in the forest, written in both English and Portuguese.
June 04, 2019
A cultural book, which tells the story about the relationship between two best friends in a struggle for survival in the forest, written in both English and Portuguese
About the Book:
The Hunger in the Forest series of books represents a culture and way of life that children may not be familiar with. This first story on the series, Fuuuurrrrr nbum, teaches important life lessons to children whilst telling them that life is not all roses and a happy ending, but if you learn certain things like listening & following instructions, then you'll do great in life.
About the Author:
Rosa Brandao is of African descent. Being an African is one of the richest benefits as a black woman in society. This gave Rosa the best childhood she could ever imagine. Her imagination as a child has empowered her to create this magical world that she is so eager to share with everyone and especially with her son; the inspiration that made it all possible.
Amazon Review:
Wordly Traveller
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent children's story from African cultural written in both English and Portuguese
31 May 2019 - Published on Amazon.co.uk
I read this children's book to my two children, and they loved it! There is a hunger in the forest, and the wolf, rabbit and others need to be creative and crafty in order to fill their bellies.
This story reminded me of the Grimm Brothers' tales which are more realistic than Disney's fairy tales in teaching important life lessons to children, painting a picture of the real world that can often be difficult and challenging, but if you listen properly, pay attention to detail, focus on what you want to achieve and reach for it, and so on, you're likely to be more successful in navigating your way through life.
I also like the fact that this story clearly draws from Portuguese culture, as the author (Rosa) says that she was told this story when she was a child, and she wants to share it more widely as the book is cleverly written both in English and in Portuguese, and beautifully illustrated with rich, vibrant colours, reflecting the African cultural values and experiences which imbue this story.
The Hunger in the Forest: Fuuuurrrrr nbum by Rosa Brandao is available in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia and in hardback from Amazon UK at:
This bilingual (English & Portuguese) book is also available in paperback from Amazon UK at:
and this culturally-rich story can be downloaded in e-book format from Amazon at:

The Monumental Celebration, which has become an annual event, drew hundreds of people to the McKinley National Memorial grounds.
CANTON The youthful En-rich-ment Drum Line literally kicked off Fourth of July celebrations as the blue T-shirt-clad drill team enchanted the crowd with dance routines and sounds of percussion instruments.
"This is our first year," said Betty Smith, director of the drill team. "We got about 40 kids."
The ground of the McKinley National Memorial was covered with hundreds of spectators - some standing and others sitting in lawn chairs - at Wednesday's Monumental Fourth unfolded.
Canton Concert Band headlined the concert with patriotic and military music, and songs from familiar movies, such as The Sound of Music and Star Wars. The celebration was capped off with a fireworks display.
Local brothers Patrick Harper and Robert "Bob" Harper organize the Fourth of July celebration and have turned it into an annual community event.
"We have help," said Robert Harper, who is president of the United Steelworkers Local 1123. "We have a lot of volunteers. This is our nation's birthday. We have a lot of families here. They don't have a lot to do on the Fourth of July. We pull people from all over the county."
His brother Patrick Harper operates a downtown business.
The event also involved assistance from the city which paid for the fireworks display and the Stark County Historical Society which owns the McKinley National Memorial.
"These guys have raised half the money through contributions," said Mayor Thomas Bernabei, who attended the celebration. "The city is paying for the rest of it. Without a doubt, this is the most picture-perfect place for the fireworks."
The city hired Pyrotecnico of New Castle, Pa., to provide the fireworks display. The size of the attendance suggested the Monumental Fourth is well-received.
"It has to be here," said Kim Kenney, executive director of the William McKinley Presidential Library & Museum, which maintains the facility. "The monument is Canton's landmark and there is no place more beautiful."
One spectator, Dean Henderson, arrived about an hour before the event activities began.
"The weather and the entertainment," Henderson said, explaining what attracted him. "The excitement in the air. Can't you feel it?"
Members of the Canton Concert Band got their segment of the celebration started with a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by Lare Sattler.
"We have a program of patriotic music," Jayne Naragon, president of the Canton Concert Band, said. "This is our fourth year we have performed. We have about 65 (musicians)."
A significant portion of the ensemble are college or high school students. The Canton Concert Band performance also included solos by vocalist Lesilee Gardiner.
The celebration event "provides something for the kids in the community," said local attorney Robert McBride, a volunteer for the Monumental Fourth. "All you have to do is see the look in their eyes. Look at the families. It will be multiple generations of families."

As envisioned in the Comprehensive Development Authority 2031, the area under the jurisdiction of the Brahmapur Development Authority was zoned into three. The zones were Administration hub with Chatrapur as focal point, Tourism hub with Gopalpur as the nucleus and Commercial hub with Brahmapur as the facilitator. Inorder to provide greater connectivity between the three, bus terminals were proposed. The three terminals were constructed in a time bound manner and is readying for a full-fledged operation.

This past summer, I volunteered at Star Learning Center (http://www.goddard.org/page/tutoring-at-star-learning-center-58.html). Star Learning Center is an organization part of Goddard Riverside Community Center. The Center provides one-to-one academic tutoring for low-income students in grades 2-12. With an extensive resource center, a well-stocked library, computers, and dedicated volunteer tutors, the Star Learning Center helps more than 300 students each year find critical support. I spent my time there tutoring a seventh grader, L'Orena, in reading and writing. During our first session, I recommended that we read Catcher in the Rye, my favorite novel, together in addition to her school work. This was a fun and exciting way for her to begin practicing reading with enjoyable books, rather than doing exercises from school. By the end of our time together, L'Orena became a great reader and writer. It was satisfying to see her succeed.

Rebecca's Experience with Empty Bowls
On May 13th, I spent the afternoon making bowls in the Ceramic Studio for Empty Bowls. This was the first time that I had participated in the project. Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger on a community level. At the beginning, Jack gave a thoughtful discussion on hunger in New York City. I knew that hunger in New York City was a large epidemic, but hearing that 1/7 families do not know where their next meal will come from surprised me. To me, the idea that artists and groups can create bowls, and in the process, attempt to end hunger is incredible. It is great to be able to do fun activities like pottery, and help people at the same time. With only 5 people there, the event felt personal. I enjoy making art, so this organization is particularly attractive to me. Although I am disappointed that I have not attended more sessions in the past, I look forward to attending many in the future.
Rebecca's Experience with the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services During Christmas
For the past two years, I have been involved in photographing children that live in the various homes provided by the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services (JBFCS) (https://www.jbfcs.org/). This past christmas, I participated in creating a music video with the children who live at the Henry Ittleson Center, which belongs to JBFCS. Here, young, emotionally traumatized disturbed children come to the Center to seek treatment. Ranging from 5 to 13 years old, they are often diagnosed with psychosis, depression, bipolar disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. These children come to live at the Ittleson House after they are referred.
This past holiday season, I participated in shooting a music video of these children. Initially, I was apprehensive, as I was warned that the children are often unpredictable around Christmas without their families. As soon as I walked in, a young boy ran away, refusing to be apart of the video. I feared that the day was doomed. However, I was happily surprised at the response. I asked girls of various ages to choose the music, and the boys decided on the instruments. They performed 8 songs as an ensemble. The girls were dressed in pink wigs, and sang into sequined microphones. The boys had their hair sprayed in bright colors, and played blow-up saxophones. It was my my favorite day as a photographer for JBFCS yet. By the end of the day, the boy who had once left, was drawn by the music. He came back, and thanked me, explaining that he was now inspired to take photographs just as I do.
Rebecca's Experience with the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services
About a month ago, I was invited to photograph the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services (JBFCS)(http://www.jbfcs.org) "Geller House." JBFCS is one of the nation's largest mental health and social services agencies. It has been established for over 110 years. The Geller House is one of its main services which provides aid towards young adults. The home is a short-term residential diagnostic center that provides assessment, treatment, and aftercare planning for adolescents, ages 11 to 15, from all boroughs.
I truly enjoyed my experience photographing these young adults. It was nice to spend time with people my age and become acquainted with them over the course of an entire day. I think they also appreciated my age. Many of these teens hadn't ever had their picture taken, so they were very excited and thankful. One girl even told me that it was the best day she has ever had at the Geller House. In truth, I think I got more out of the day from them than they did from me. Hearing each teen's and interacting with young adults so different from myself and those who are usually around me was humbling and changed my perception for the better. I learned to appreciate my time at school more because many of those whom I met at the home have not been provided with education past elementary school.
Rebecca Finley's Experience with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Seventeen Magazine
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to photograph the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (http://www.bcrfcure.org) and Seventeen Magazine's (http://www.seventeen.com) "Protect Your Girls Event." The event was founded by teenage girls around my own age, who wanted to find a unique and creative way to give back. Over 50 teens decorated bras with unconventional materials that ranged from CD's to feathers. The only rule for the challenge was that fabric was not allowed. Famous judges picked winners who were rewarded with prizes such as Jingle Ball tickets to a day at Seventeen Magazine. In the end, the day was successful, with large proceeds from the event all donated to BCRF.
I was honored to be rewarded with the pleasure of having my photographs published in Seventeen Magazine. Furthermore, I learned much more about the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the cancer in general. It was inspiring to hear stories of residents in New York City who either had breast cancer, or had some connection to it. For me, it was truly a humbling and rewarding experience. It is unusual that I am able to give back and pursue my passion at the same time.

Capitol Alert
Conservative and 'Antifa' forces head to California Capitol Sunday
A "Turn California Red" rally aimed at promoting conservative issues and candidates ahead of Tuesday's election is set for Sunday at the state Capitol, potentially drawing anti-fascist counter-protesters.
Organizers for the rally have a California Highway Patrol permit for up to 500 people to attend the 1 p.m. event. As of Friday morning, 135 people said they were going and another 585 were listed as interested on the organization's Facebook event page.
"Let's show these Democrat politicians that we are no longer silent and their seats are no longer safe. Turn California Red!!" the description on the event page reads.
In another post, organizer Chris Ross acknowledged that the rally comes as conservative rhetoric faces scrutiny after a Florida man was arrested on suspicion of sending mail bombs to several prominent Democratic figures and also to CNN.
"In the midst of recent events some may be feeling discouraged heading into the midterms and into this rally," Ross wrote. "We can not and will not allow the actions of one man (to) influence our passion to complete our mission. Stay the course Patriots."
In an Oct. 18 post on the event page, Ross wrote that "all flags and signs MUST be mounted on yardsticks. No pipes, thick posts, or anything in that category."
Sign poles have been used as weapons at some rallies at which conservative groups have clashed with counter-protestors, including one at the Capitol on June 26, 2016. Hundreds of neo-Nazis and anti-fascists brawled that day, resulting in multiple stabbings and other injuries, as well as several arrests and criminal charges.
Ross also urged people on the event page to avoid posting inflammatory rhetoric that could jeopardize the event permit.
The event could draw a counter-protest.
The Facebook page Antifa Sacramento urges anyone who is able to "show up against bigotry."
"If you feel capable of intervening in the event of street harassment or attacks, come in a group and keep an eye out for far right activity during and after the event," a post on the Facebook page read.
"Turn California Red" organizer Jeffrey Erik, a business owner in Sacramento, said in a Facebook message that the event is intended to be peaceful.
"We have no intentions of being aggressive to anyone from the left," Erik said. "We invite anyone who wants information to attend."
Erik said that the goal of the rally "is to inform, inform, inform" on the assorted candidates and propositions on Tuesday's ballot.
In a statement Friday, CHP spokesman John Ortega said, "Our officers are always vigilant for potential threats, but we do not discuss security measures or changes in security posture."

Lakeland revenues up to £733.6m as merger approaches
Revenues at cross-border dairy firm Lakeland, which collects milk from around 750 Northern Ireland farmers, climbed by 5.3% to £733.6m last year.
The Cavan-based business, which will increase its reach in the province to 1,300 farmers after a merger with LacPatrick, said that the results had been helped by relative stability in global dairy markets.
Group chief executive Michael Hanley said the revenues growth had yielded an operating profit of £15.8m.
"This was driven by strong returns from our three main business divisions, where we were also able to capitalise on our significant economies of scale, benefiting from the significant investments of recent years in technology, automation and lean operation across our processing footprint," he added.
Mr Hanley accepted conditions this year would be affected by "the still uncertain impacts of Brexit and the overall balance of global supply and demand across our product portfolio".
But he stressed: "We will meet any potential headwinds by continuing to ensure complete efficiency and flexibility across all of our operations while at all times paying the highest possible milk price in line with market conditions.
"We will always support milk producers to the maximum possible extent. This will continue to be our commitment in the months and years ahead.

"Let us re-energise behind the enlarged enterprise of Lakeland Dairies where, based on the collective achievements of co-operation, we will look forward with confidence to the future."
Lakeland owns the Pritchitts dairy processing site in Newtownards, Co Down.
It is merging with LacPatrick, which is based in Monaghan and collects milk from around 600 suppliers in Northern Ireland.
The merger has been approved by shareholder farmers in the two businesses and has also been given the green light by competition authorities in the UK and in the Republic.
