Summary/Abstract: Social enterprises combine economic sustainability with measurable social impact. This study develops and tests a model for social audit structured in four areas: impact, stakeholder engagement, labour integration, and transparent governance. Through its application in three real organizations, the model’s practical applicability as a tool for objective assessment is confirmed. The systematization of indicators enables tracking progress over time and establishes social audit as a key mechanism for strategic planning and accountability.
