Abstract:
A simple questionnaire form was first drawn up and studied within the Companies for which the members of the Working Group worked in order to identify any major problems at this initial stage. None emerged. Work on drafting the audit then proceeded so swiftly that an outline scheme was drawn up within six months. We were then left with the rather hard task, during the ensuing 18 months, of devising a scheme for collating data confidentially and for seeking approval for the proposals at various levels within the A.B.P.I.
