Industry-focused Compliance
In this chapter we shift our focus to look at compliance in particular industries. There
are different sets of regulations that apply to different industries. Not only will these
conversations involve the Head of Internal Audit and the Chief Legal Counsel, but
they will also bring in the Chief Operating Officer. In this chapter, we also leave our
friends at Infission and talk to some colleagues at a pharmaceutical company and at a
bank to get a feel of the regulations they are subject to. Of course with Infission being
a high-tech manufacturer, this is where we will start.
Hi-tech manufacturing
We are going to look at a couple of regulations in the hi-tech manufacturing
arena. They are standards put forward by the
International Organization for
Standardization
(
ISO
).
ISO 9000
Next, we will sit with the VP of operations to discuss quality processes and audits.
ISO 9000
is a quality standard that originated in the manufacturing world, although
it has now spread to non-manufacturing industries as well. The quality system goes
through formal verification by an outside auditor. The standard is very process and
procedure manual centered.
