They can vary a great deal as the term is used loosely. I have seen purely customer service evaluations called "audits" and I have done "audits" where I was going through 100 items with a store employee with their laser gun to determine that the bar code matched the shelf sign and the printed advertisement for price. There are currently "audits" running at an electronics store that take 2 days to perform and cover everything from pricing to stocking to the presence of fire extinguishers. There are other "audits" that evaluate compliance with safety rules.

Don't get hung up on the word "audit". In your mind just treat it as any other "shop" and look to see what is wanted and if you are willing to do that for the fee offered.

Usually what constitues a audit,you have to present a letter of authorization to the store employee/manager,and usually you have to take pictures (depending on
your assignment)and then take some notes about the property you are doing.They are normally not that hard.I would not do one for less than $14-$16 ,
and it's fairly close to where you live. Hope that helps.Good luck shopping !!!

Yes, that is an example of a "reveal" that is an audit. But they come in many flavors.

Just looking to network with other shoppers. I have seen many shops that I can't take and that I BELIEVE go without assignment. Would like to be able to refer and be referred.

If you're a shopper in any of those areas, please contact me or if you belong to/know of networking/meet up groups for those areas please let me know.

thanks

Thanks
