This book was released on 1995-03-29 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandated standards used for vehicle airbags, International Organization for Standards (ISO) standards adopted for photographic film, de facto standards for computer software--however they arise, standards play a fundamental role in the global marketplace. Standards, Conformity Assessment, and Trade provides a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the link between standards, product testing and certification, and U.S. economic performance. The book includes recommendations for streamlining standards development, increasing the efficiency of product testing and certification, and promoting the success of U.S. exports in world markets. The volume offers a critical examination of organizations involved in standards and identifies the urgent improvements needed in the U.S. system for conformity assessment, in which adherence to standards is assessed and certified. Among other key issues, the book explores the role of government regulation, laboratory accreditation, and the overlapping of multiple quality standards in product development and manufacturing. In one of the first treatments of this subject, Standards, Conformity Assessment, and Trade offers a unique and highly valuable analysis of the impact of standards and conformity assessment on global trade.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO-14-704G Sept 2014, the Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (known throughout the government as the "Green Book"), provides the overall framework for establishing and maintaining an effective internal control system. Internal control covers all aspects of a Federal agency's objectives (operations, reporting, and compliance). The Green Book has also been adopted by many state, local, and quasigovernmental entities, as well as not-for-profit organizations, as a framework for an effective internal control system. Management of an entity determines, based on applicable laws and regulations, how to appropriately adapt the standards presented in the Green Book as a framework for the entity.

Download or read book Government Auditing Standards 2018 Revision written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

Book excerpt: The National Technology Transfer Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-113) states, "Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Standards, that are transitioning the Executive branch of the Federal Government from a developer of internal standards to a customer of external standards. Specifically, section 12 "Standards Conformity" states, " ... all Federal agencies and departments shall use technical standards that are developed and adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, using such technical standards as a means to carry out policy objectives or activities determined by the agencies and departments. Federal Agencies and departments shall consult with voluntary, private sector, consensus standards bodies, and shall.. participate with such bodies in the development of technical standards." [1] NAC participates in standards work to serve our customers better by providing military acceptable commercially available products at lower costs. DoD purchase of commercially available products will be enhanced when NGS are available which define the needs of the DoD in terms of the commercial marketplace. However, one must note the difference between New Technology Standards and reforming Old MIL SPEC Standards. New Technology Standards focus on emerging technologies that are being developed in industry and the government, while Old MIL SPEC conversion takes existing standards focused more on component parts and attempts to add the necessary military requirements. They are equally important; however, with emerging technologies, the government has the opportunity at their inception to put the necessary language into the standard to make them more compatible with military applications.
Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by Government Accountability Office and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-12 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This key resource is often referred to as the "Green Book". Federal policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to better achieve agencies' missions and program results, in other words, they are seeking ways to improve accountability. A key factor in helping achieve such outcomes and minimize operational problems is to implement appropriate internal control. Effective internal control also helps in managing change to cope with shifting environments and evolving demands and priorities. As programs change and as agencies strive to improve operational processes and implement new technological developments, management must continually assess and evaluate its internal control to assure that the control activities being used are effective and updated when necessary. The Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (FMFIA) requires the General Accounting Office (GAO) to issue standards for internal control in government. The standards provide the overall framework for establishing and maintaining internal control and for identifying and addressing major performance and management challenges, and areas at greatest risk of fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement. This report explores the Five Standards for Internal Control as identified by GAO for policymakers and program managers: - Control Environment - Risk Assessment - Control Activities - Information and Communications - Monitoring These standards apply to all aspects of an agency's operations: programmatic, financial, and compliance. However, they are not intended to limit or interfere with duly granted authority related to developing legislation, rule-making, or other discretionary policy-making in an agency. These standards provide a general framework. In implementing these standards, management is responsible for developing the detailed policies, procedures, and practices to fit their agency's operations and to ensure that they are built into and an integral part of operations.

Download or read book Standards Conformity Assessment and Accreditation for Engineers written by ROBERT D. HUNTER and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Major Book to Incorporate New International Guides and Standards Standards, Conformity Assessment, and Accreditation for Engineers discusses conformity assessment and accreditation as defined in a new set of standards by the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC). Written by a licensed professional engineer with more than 25 years of experience, the book brings together material specific to international, regional, national, state, and company levels. The author begins with the terms and definitions of ISO/IEC Guide 2 and ISO/IEC 17000, along with commentary from a US perspective. He reviews the development of standards, the differences between accreditation and certification, and the main international standards organizations. He also presents regional standards, such as those of the European Union; national standards and conformity assessment in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Germany; and the provincial standards and conformity assessment mechanisms of states and provinces. The book provides an engineering perspective on legal issues, such as ASME v. Hydrolevel Corp.; examines the role of government in standards, conformity assessment, and accreditation; and explores standardization at the company level. Providing the tools to easily understand and comply with new standards, this accessible resource not only addresses the technical areas of standardization, but also the legal, economic, management, and education aspects. It covers required vocabulary and gathers references from the substantial yet scattered literature on standards.
