This research explores a unique approach to algorithmic auditing. In this approach, the companies’ users govern the algorithmic auditing process or assist third-party auditors in collecting the necessary data for auditing. This user-based audit methodology removes the auditors’ dependency on the audited companies themselves and empowers third-party stakeholders to audit these companies independently. In addition, user-based audits can corroborate the information companies provided in their first-party audits.
