I deal with crap like this on a regular basis. I go through all the major audits; ISO, SAS70, SOX the whole shebang. A total waste of employee time and resources. Executives love it. The audits do absolutely nothing to help the products and do a ton in terms of increasing worker fatigue and annoyance. Busy work for the sake of busy work. If half the time spent on auditing was spent on product development every firm I've worked for that undergoes these audits would be several stages ahead in application development.

It reminds me of government.

Six sigma is another bullshit cert, which in industry terms also means executives love it.
