My Reading on ASQ CQA HB Part I-IA~IE-s

Part IE1
Confidentiality
Often these are written in legal language and are understandable only by
someone familiar with the legal definitions of the words used.
• Auditors are normally not authorized to obligate their organizations.
• Agreements should contain a release that takes effect if proprietary
information becomes public.
• An auditor should receive the agreement in advance so that it can be
reviewed and approved by the auditing organization’s legal counsel or
designated authority before the auditor signs it.
