Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Social housing
French term or phrase: audits/diagnostics-conseil
The following is from a document relating to social housing and the management thereof (this particular part is talking about a proposed performance measurement plan):


"Il (performance measurement plan) définirait les champs sur lesquels porte la mesure de la performance et les indicateurs mis en œuvre à cette fin. A cet égard, l’expérimentation en cours de 40 **audits/diagnostics-conseil** sur la qualité de service préfigure le projet d’ensemble."

I can't for the life of me work out what the "audit/diagnostics-conseil" bit is all about here. Can anyone shed any light please?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Many TIA,

Vicky
