Description
Abstract "Ethical auditing" is regarded as a new device for monitoring the behaviour of firms and governments. The best known example is the EU-guideline for eco-auditing which aims a monitoring compliance with "voluntary" environmental protection standards. Unlike eco-auditing which covers firms, "women's auditing" focuses on national budgets and the behaviour of governments. It is assumed that checking revenue and expenditure item-by-item gives a clearer picture about discrimination than merely looking at tax legislation or sectoral budgets. The first country where women's auditing became institutionalised was South Africa, quickly followed by Australia, Canada, and the labour government in the UK.
