Customers need to ask for these changes, which is why this is hard to solve. At least in my field, many of the measures we end up having to fall in line with are the result of our customers deciding that those who bid on their contracts must have these certain credentials. If those same customers had more competent decision-makers determining technical qualifications then this would be less of an issue. Unfortunately, that also means that we will be stuck with these audits in their current form until the vast majority of our customers first decide they’re not needed.
