    "Lawmakers said the food industry's private inspection system failed to catch filthy conditions because the company itself hired the inspectors."

    "There is an obvious and inherent conflict of interest when an auditor works for the same supplier it is evaluating."

      I remember when I was working in a bureaucracy during the rollout of the "self-assessment" craze. Suddenly we were just answering surveys, and if anyone said anything other than the party line, they were singled out as if *their* program was having problems--not that the system was broken. So everyone checked off that everything was just wonderful in their programs, once they realized what the outcome would be for honesty.

      Self-assessment turned out to be the witch-hunt it was designed to avoid.
