Who knew that a man who obsesses with doing the deal and doesn't play by the rules would issue multiple contradictory announcements that had a massive impact on oil price.

Earlier I covered #risk and #quality #audit #programme management. Now I'm taking the topic into an individual audit plan to ensure the auditor focuses on the “vital few rather than the useful many”
The article is in more detail on the Bywater web site - here: www.bywater.co.uk/resources/au...
Anybody on Bluesky involved with developing internal #audit #programmes? We're supposed to consider #process importance. In this Blog article I suggest a #quality tool #FMEA can help.
Might be a bit niche! 😆

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
In my field of #quality and #auditing, one of the hot topics is changes to standards like ISO 9001. I published a blog piece on what the upcoming changes to the standard are likely to mean for auditors. They are not yet finalized but the writing is on the wall.

How did Samuel Johnson know #Farage would exist in the future when he wrote that " Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"?
How soon the £20Bn + cost of the UK bailout of irresponsible financial firms is forgotten!
This doesn't take into account the personal costs to individuals in and outside the financial sector directly affected by the failures and consequent recession.
Desperate measures.

Being the wrong side of 60, I may be biased. Ageism is alive and well across the worlds of work and entertainment.
Hardon collider? The mind boggles!😆
So, just to be clear, the person initiating negotiations over the Ukraine and Gaza ceasefires is the same man who couldn't sort out the payoff for a porn star?

I've really enjoyed travelling with @jet2holidays.bsky.social - no longer until they #stopfundinghate
Thick as mince. A picnic short of a picnic.
I'm going 'morally bankrupt'. No mainstream media is that stupid.
The support of the right wing media for a right-wing president has to be unqualified to progress in their rightward direction.
He's desperate to unfurl those fingers and give an Elon salute.
I'd just love to have an inkling of what voices she hears in her head!

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong, and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...
FFS. How did the electorate not wake up to this. The man is an embarrassment. Bullying from the top while the reputation of the US is trashed.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow them to rewrite history.
If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely
