Consumer Protection Audit

Abstract

Auditors need to ensure that their companies possess proper systems to safeguard against product liability claims under consumer protection legislation. Such legislation is growing in severity in many parts of the world, notably in the European Community. The consequences can be product, brand or even company close down. The auditor needs to design systems to prevent this. New legislation in the UK provides an opportunity for all companies to review their current policy.
