Join APSCA’s flagship annual gathering in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10–12 November 2026. Bringing together auditors, firms, brands, MSIs, regulators, NGOs, and industry partners, AMMS 2026 will strengthen professional standards, address systemic pressures on audit quality, and define practical actions to build a more credible, professional, and aligned social auditing ecosystem.
PROGRAM
Compliance to impact, in three days
AMMS 2026 brings auditors, firms, and the wider social compliance community together for three days in Bangkok. The program addresses both the capability of individual auditors and the future direction of the profession.
Day one builds auditor skills, and the blueprint for how new auditors are trained. Day two places the revision of APSCA's Code before members. The Code and Standards of Professional Conduct provides the framework that guides the profession and sets the benchmark for the wider industry. Day three examines the issues emerging across the sector.

SOLUTION LABS
Reshaping the Code together
The Code and Standards of Professional Conduct gives this profession its credibility and sets the bar for the wider industry. On Wednesday afternoon, every participant joins a Solution Lab.
In three facilitated groups, auditors, firms, schemes, brands, and NGOs work through what competence and professional conduct standards are needed to support credible, high-quality audits: what belongs in the Code, what does not, what needs to change, and what is missing. The groups then come back together to identify where there is consensus, where views diverge, and what the priorities are for the next phase.
Competence
What technical knowledge, skills, and experience should the Code require of a social compliance auditor, and how should that be demonstrated?
Professional conduct
What standards of behaviour, independence, and integrity should the Code set, and what happens when they are not met?
