Standardized audit rules should be developed to improve the effectiveness of food safety and crisis management audits, Lee Mee Hyon, deputy chairperson of the Working Group on Crisis Management Audit (WGCMA) of the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI), said at the 62nd meeting of the organization in Baku.
