Nike is constantly making changes and updates to its audit standards, processes, and protocols and therefore information Nike or Sumerra provided to Auditors previously, may no longer be applicable information.  Therefore auditors will be required to maintain approval status by participating in the Approval Status Program (ASP) on an annual basis.  Status maintenance will required continued experience and education (training).  The level of refresher training will be determined by several factors such as:

  • Auditor Quality Scores
  • Recent (within 18 months) auditing experience
  • Recent (within 18 months) attendance at Nike Auditor Trainings provided by Sumerra
