    WOW --- what an amazing and innovative concept! Tailoring an audit to
    the industry and to the specific company! WOW! Imagine the genius
    it took to develop such a novel approach....

    I thought you said you tailored your audits to the industry... then
    you go an rely on VISA's merchant requirements? Seems rather
    contradictory...

    ..besides, real auditors would know about the COBIT, ISO, AS NZ Risk
    management, etc.

    Why? You don't seem to know what you are talking about..

    Got to love the FUD factor and "trendy" name --- but good audits take
    more than that....
