Bogus Accreditation Association

An organization identified as the Commonwealth of Nations Accreditation Board (CNAB) is hosting a website (http://www.cnab-global.org/) that plagiarizes the website of the International Accreditation Forum (www.iaf.nu), presenting IAF information as its own and inserting the name CNAB in place of IAF. The organization further falsely identifies the following IAF member Accreditation Bodies as members of CNAB.  The Chairman of IAF, Randy Dougherty of ANAB (the American National Standards Institute - American Society for Quality National Accreditation Board LLC ), stresses that none of these IAF members have any involvement with CNAB.
