Systems Integrity and Appeals

The Systems Integrity domain is responsible for organizing the random and forensic review of Surveyor activities and for convening panels to preside over the review of appeals submitted by Candidate Sites or from within any part of SASI. Its purpose is to assure the quality, integrity and ethical compliance of all SASI activities.

Systems Integrity will assure that all SASI team members sign comprehensive CDA/NDA’s that will apply to all SASI activities, clients, vendors, etc. Members will also sign a declaration of their known conflicts of interest and/or perceived or potential conflicts of interest. They will agree to voluntarily advise Systems Integrity of any perceived or potential conflicts of interest that might arise in the conduct of their duties and will promise to adhere to the SASI Conflict of Interest policy and the highest standards of confidentiality.

360° Oversight and Reasonable Accountability

The duties of the Systems Integrity domain span all Accreditation processes and include the verification and documentation that no Surveyor participating at any level with the certification of a Candidate Site will have any other contact with the Candidate Site, either as an individual, independent contractor, or in service to any third-party or Preferred Service Provider (PSP) regarding consulting, implementation or training services. The Systems Integrity domain will be responsible for preventing any such conflict of interest and will routinely audit the performance of PSP’s, SASI Surveyors and Candidate Accreditation processes.

While SASI team members and Surveyors may correctly fulfill multiple roles in their vocation, volunteer service and/or other contractual arrangements; we will protect the integrity of the Accreditation by vigilantly separating these activities from any improper effect or influence over an Accreditation decision.

Appeals by Accreditation Candidates

The Systems Integrity Domain will convene three-person panels comprised of two of the available Co-Chairs within the College of Surveyors and the legal representative of SASI to preside over all appeals submitted by Candidate Sites or from within any part of SASI. Subject Matter Expertise required for the review of appeals will be supported by referrals from and consultations with the College of Surveyors. ISO/PAS Standard 17003:2004 will be followed in these proceedings.
