ISO CERTIFICATION

ISO standards make a positive contribution to the world we live in. They ensure vital features such as quality, ecology, safety, economy, reliability, compatibility, interoperability, efficiency and effectiveness. They facilitate trade, spread knowledge, and share technological advances and good management practices.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a global network that identifies what International Standards are required by business, government and society, develops them in partnership with the sectors that will put them to use, adopts them by transparent procedures based on national input and delivers them to be implemented worldwide.

ISO standards distil an international consensus from the broadest possible base of stakeholder groups. Expert input comes from those closest to the needs for the standards and also to the results of implementing them. In this way, although voluntary, ISO standards are widely respected and implemented by public and private sectors internationally

ISI CERTIFICATION

We have all heard of products proudly proclaiming their ISI mark. ISI stands for the Indian Standards Institute, a body set up when India gained Independence to create standards needed for orderly commercial growth and maintaining quality in industrial production. By the mid-80s the country's socio-economic climate had changed, triggering the need to set up a stronger body, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which then took over ISI. But the term "ISI mark" continues to be used to mean that a certain product conforms to the quality standards set up by the government.

There are 16 broad categories, including textiles, packaged water, food, automobile components, plastic products and electronics, for which BIS has laid down standards. If anyone wants to add a new category to the current list, they can apply for it. There are 19,000 standards formulated for products across the 16 categories.

A body called the Certification Advisory Committee, consisting of people from sectors such as manufacturers, consumers, government agencies, industry associations, exists under BIS to advise on policies and formulation of standards on different products.

AGMARK CERTIFICATION

Agmark is a Quality Certification Mark of the Government of India given to products confirming to scientificallylaid down quality standards.

Products commonly certified under AGMARK
-> Honey
-> Ghee, Butter
-> Chillies, Turmeric, Curry powder, Garam Masalas, Cardamom, Cumin, Coriander and other curry powders.
-> Vegetable Oils

It is given to the packers authorising them to grade their commodity under AGMARK. Period of Validity will be 5 years.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Dialogue and Participation How we govern our corporations plays a central role in the strength and health of our global economy. Today, there is a growing dialogue among the different stakeholders about corporate governance and how it should evolve to cope with the increasingly dynamic and global nature of our capital markets. This dialogue is taking place against a background of legislative and regulatory change; the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards around much of the world; an increase in the scope of audit and other internal control and risk management activities; and increased public scrutiny. It is only with dialogue and the active participation of all stakeholders that the appropriate balance can be reached between: strengthened central controls and fast local responsiveness; effective risk management and the enduring need for innovation; the additional costs of the new corporate governance and the value it seeks to protect and enhance.

IFRS

A Strategic Opportunity for Listed Companies Around the World The move to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is the single most important initiative in the financial reporting world. Global financial markets demand international consistency in accounting and auditing standards and approaches. Several countries have either adopted IFRS or are basing their local standards on IFRS. Today, many listed companies are converting to IFRS - the single most important initiative around the world. In order to use IFRS now, and in years to come, companies need to carefully plan and have a dedicated conversion strategy.

RISK ISSUES

Risks change. Priorities change. People and processes change. When that happens, your business becomes exposed-unless you have a sustainable approach to risk management.

INTERNAL CONTROLS REPORTING

CEOs and CFOs of listed companies are being held more accountable for the integrity of their financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls. Directors and audit committees are taking on greater responsibility for overseeing management and for the relationship with the external auditor. In the near future, investors will see new reports from management and auditors about whether adequate internal control over financial reporting is in place. This information is important to investors because good internal control over financial reporting is one of the most effective deterrents to fraud and a key factor in preventing financial misstatements.
