Horror Stories in Auditing 3





Horror Stories in Auditing

Over the years I have received from many known persons certain horror stories which I would like to share here

3 Location Cochin
A large food exporter was being compelled by all the European buyers to take Food Safety Management System certification. 
The requirement was confirmed. Consultant submitted an offer, the offer was accepted and the FSMS work commenced.
        Shortly after that, the MD decided that they would go for a more tough certification Standard for Food Safety, required by the Europeans.
        The certification body from the European industrial power house stepped in. They agreed with the MD to do a gap analysis, training, internal audit, manual preparation and also clear the Food safety System certification.(An offer which nobody can refuse in words of “God Father”).
        The MR called Consultant and asked to short close the existing order. Consultant had no choice but to agree. The CB man had said they will bill in a benami name for portion of consulting work they are doing. 


Whither conflict of interest?
