Didn't say i didn't know anything about it, simply asked if anyone had heard about it. The web site seems to be not working at the moment and have been struggling to get any feedback from them. It seems to be a viable alternative to the NASC. The SCCR and ANSC are a good idea but them seem to be struggling to get the recognition or people would be asking for them, this other lot seem to have backing from the HSE, i may be wrong (usually am!!). They already have had meetings with the HSE and are offering similar benefits to the NASC i.e training and eventually guidance notes but have a less than closed shop application criteria. We are only a small firm and have not been trading that long in comparison with most and i'll try owt to stand out from the crowd and ultimately bring some work in. If that means trying to acquire some accreditation or affiliations that are recognised then it's worth a do. For instance NASC want at least 2 years audited accounts, can't provide this, not been trading that long. The SA don't, membership criteria is based on competence and compliance not the size of the bung. And the initial and continual auditing sounds a far better option than what the NASC do. Everyones seen some of the firms that are on the NASC and some of there jobs are FOOOKIN W4NK. So there "continual" auditing can't be up to much! Proud of my firm and the way we're going just trying to better us for the long term. Anyway, need to stop with the waffling, forgot what point i was trying to make now..
oh yeh congrats on the 2000 phil!
