What are the risks of using a non-accredited consultant or consulting firm?
Below are few thoughts:
Inexperienced and incompetent staff
Insufficient resource
Incomplete project
Unclear reports and inappropriate recommendations
Lack of corrective and preventive measures in the unlikely event of failure
A lack of impartiality
No formal complaints procedure, no higher authority to address consult-client issues
Lack of due diligence
Projects go over budget
Timelines and goals not achieved
Possible insurance gaps
