Talk:Chartered Quality Institute

The Institute of Qulality Assurance since gaining a Royal Charter has been renamed the Chartered Quality Institute. I think that the Institute of Qulality Assurance entry should be deleted and an entry entitled the Chartered Quality Institute put in its place. The Institute of Qulality Assurance should then redirect to the Chartered Quality Institute entry

Questions on: Jurisdiction of CQI/IRCA, chartered by whom?
I have two additions regarding the opening sentence of: The Chartered Quality Institute (CQI), formerly known as The Institute of Quality Assurance (IQA), is the chartered body for quality professionals.

( 1 ) Who chartered the CQI? Being a reader from America, I think this would be a useful piece of information as the CQI seems to be a British organization, correct? I opine that I should not have to read more than the opening paragraph to understand this key aspect. In other words, the last part of the sentence might read: ", is chartered by XXX to be the certification organization for qualify professionals."

( 2 ) Following on item #1:  what is the jurisdiction (scope of powers) for the CQI? While this related sentence appears in the opening paragraph: "IRCA certifies some 10,000 auditors in over 150 countries worldwide.",  I  assume each county the CQI/IRCA operates in has to approve the organization?

 * In the United Kingdom Royal Charters "original purpose was to create public or private corporations (including towns and cities), and to define their privileges and purpose. Nowadays, though Charters are still occasionally granted to cities, new Charters are normally reserved for bodies that work in the public interest (such as professional institutions and charities) and which can demonstrate pre-eminence, stability and permanence in their particular field .... The Incorporation of an organisation by Charter is a prestigious way of acquiring legal personality in the UK and reflects the high status of that body. The authority for the grant of a Charter comes from the Royal Prerogative, that is to say, the grant is made by the Sovereign (on the advice of the Privy Council)"
 * The Chartered Quality Institute's charter is dated 23/11/2006 on the list of charters granted from the UK Government website.
