I should have explained.....
A while back, one of the real giant corporations had a subsidiary medical device company blow off the FDA. It ended up costing the parent company millions of dollars (and it's not over yet).
Keeping this in mind, our company has an opportunity to hook up with another giant who wants to be sure we're doing things the right way. That's why we're looking for a total outsider to evaluate our system and operations.
It isn't a binding audit, just a qualified opinion as to our condition.
