Overview

The Auditing Roundtable is a professional organization dedicated to the development and professional practice of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) auditing.

Today, the Roundtable represents the voice of the profession with more than 800 members, all of whom have agreed to abide by the Roundtable's Code of Ethics.  Its mission is to enhance the practice of EHS auditing by creating a national forum and organization to advance ideas, procedures and member interaction.  AR Fact Sheet

History

The Roundtable was founded in January 1982, when managers of ten corporate environmental audit programs met to discuss their auditing programs and practices.  The Roundtable has held regular meetings since that time and has undergone many important changes.

A Code of Ethics and the first formal bylaws, adopted in 1987, opened the Roundtable membership to individuals and provided for the election of a Board of Directors by the membership at large.  Another significant step toward professional society status was taken in 1991, when the Roundtable was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization.   Following peer review and vote by the membership, the Roundtable adopted Standards for the Performance of Environmental Audits in 1993.  In 1998, the Roundtable reorganized into its current organizational structure. Ms. Kathy J. Rieth is the Roundtable's Managing Director.
