This sort of thing is designed to provide income for quality management consultants and auditors. There is self evidently an infinte set of possible risks and thus infinite work for auditors, let's stop doing actual work or actually making anything and jump on the bandwagon.
Although to be fair, maybe the banking industry could have benefitted from some of this...I sure as heck don't want it.
