CIAC Fulfils its Mission by Adhering to the following Basic Principles:
CIAC respects the diversity of global business as a major cultural heritage and strength of the emerging global industrial power. It also respects the diversity of quality assurance & enhancement approach to setting-up national quality assurance systems for organizations across the globe.
CIAC acknowledges that the primary responsibility for quality rests with governments of respective countries, however as an external quality assurance third party, CIAC operates to improve Better Business Practices in organizations as per international standards. It combines both accountability for the reassurance of the public and an objective and developmental role for enhancing quality in organizations. The role of national authorities is to define the given national QA setup and to ensure that the national QA system operates in harmony with the global network.
CIAC is committed to respecting the fitness-for-purpose principle (purpose-process alignment) at the core of the global dimension of quality assurance.
CIAC considers the autonomy of organizations & institutions and the independence of quality assurance agencies within national quality assurance systems as a necessary condition to ensure the full exercise of their responsibilities, notably concerning the provision of accurate and consistent information to the general public.
“The mission of the CIAC Global Foundation in all is to contribute significantly to the maintenance and enhancement of Better Business Practices in organizations through periodic audits for continuous improvements for benchmarking quality as an external rating and accrediting private agency, and to act as a major driving force for the development of quality assurance across the globe.”
