Each account is still expected to be in compliance withthe&nbsp;COR®&nbsp;2020 standard, and each account still gets its own individual certification.</p><p>Peter also highlights other benefits of the program,&nbsp;such as saving time and money. It cuts down on the time spent writing several audit reports for each account&nbsp;and also&nbsp;lowers the cost of auditing each account.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Free resources</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ihsa.ca/COR/What_is_COR.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">What is&nbsp;COR®?</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.ihsa.ca/COR/COR-Getting-Started.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">COR®&nbsp;– Getting Started</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ihsa.ca/cor/cor_benefits.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Benefits of COR®</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O40zFDBStn4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Debunking Seven Myths about the COR®&nbsp;Program</a></p>","html":"<iframe src=\"https://art19.com/shows/ihsa-safety-podcast/episodes/b3bd55ae-5abd-406a-9b5d-487f51405186/embed\" style=\"width: 720px; height: 200px; border: 0 none;\" width=\"720\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>","provider_name":"ART19","provider_url":"https://art19.com","title":"Enhancing Efficiency with the COR® Combined Audit","type":"rich","version":"1.0","width":720,"height":200}
