The SayPro Accessibility Audit Report is a formal document required from SayPro employees, primarily from teams responsible for design, development, testing, content, and compliance. It evaluates the degree to which SayPro’s digital platforms—including the main website and sub-portals—adhere to modern web accessibility standards, with an emphasis on WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.
This report plays a vital role in the SCMR-17 Responsive Design Review Cycle and directly supports SayPro’s goals of ensuring inclusivity, usability, and digital equality for all users, including those with disabilities.

The audit report serves to:
- Identify barriers that affect users with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and other impairments.
