ISO 19011: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:48, 7 November 2003

ISO 19011 is a global standard accounting standard, astonishing as that is. It depends on a mature styles of capital analysis developed in ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 series. It does not really include SA 8000 considerations which is where a project like Consumerium can really help - but only if it adopts the standard as a basis for its own auditing process.

For instance, the Consumerium Software License might allow for any group using its software to submit to a trusted auditor applying this standard. If the group doesn't pass, or isn't nonprofit, some fee might have to apply.

This would not prevent responsible groups from participating, and certainly it would help prevent a lot of worst cases, and get help from governments too.
