How IS a CEO expected to know that what has been signed for is actually what was done EXCEPT by relying on other peoples' signatures? Might we again see EMC audits on outside vendor sub-assemblies? Shades of 0871!
I once listened as a well-known EMC engineer told about a VP who'd contracted him to teach a class on EMC compliance, but only spent a few moments in the room before hurrying away. The exec explained during a quick break that he'd wanted to avoid liability for nonconformity by remaining ignorant of what it required. Naughty of him -- and if I understand correctly, willful ignorance is never an acceptable defense.
