Are all #ISO #auditors this fucking dumb or is it an act, to lure you into oversharing, revealing your process dirty laundry?

Srsly this guy (once again, 4/4 new auditor in as many #certification audits/inspections) is asking fundamentally basic questions that make me think "have you... ever... engineered anything in your life before? why are you an auditor."

Like explaining what a jira workflow is... or what a branch/merge strategy is. Fuck's sake.

While we support the aims of flexibility and simplification, it is essential that these efforts do not come at the expense of #accountability and #transparency.”

Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG).

Procurement of #auditors should be more widely questioned.
