Most definitely a farce in a lot of cases...it is almost 100% analogous to ISO9000 certification. You go through the paperwork effort, pay your fee, get your certification. And a week later, all of the employees forget all of these new quality procedures, and "remember" them again right before the next audit. There are a few rare cases where the certified company actually practices what it preaches, but they are rare. I've always said that things like ISO9000 only guarantee that "if you make crappy product, you will consistently make crappy product, with plenty of documentation to prove that it is crap". ITAA is a joke. There is very little followup, and tends to look only at current practices, not legacy work. And legacy is the issue with Y2K, not new development.
