Elva Nilsen

Elva Nilsen is chief administrator of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).

Within THE AUDITOR universe, Elva is portrayed as highly paranoid and reclusive, wrapping herself in a special metal foil to prevent herself from being photographed. Elva has admitted that because of the ISO certification scheme’s pyramid revenue structure, “your auditor could shoot the President on Fifth Avenue, and IAF wouldn’t do anything about it.

Elva revealed to Alex Mendes that the IAF is so secretive, it only communicates via “carrier pigeons, Navajo code talkers, and through shadowy third parties in underground car parks.

Elva lives in Canada, but will deny it if asked. Reportedly, Canada also wishes it could deny Nilsen.

THE AUDITOR creator Christopher Paris based Nilsen’s design on the 1933 film The Invisible Man starring Claude Rains.

This character is based on a real public figure, and satirized for the purposes of humor and social commentary. The depiction within the strip is not to be construed as based on fact.

Why we report on these topics

Since 2000, Oxebridge has worked to improve ISO and related certification schemes by identifying problems and then proposing solutions. We report on issues affecting standards users because so few other news outlets do. Our belief is that in order to fix the problems in these schemes, we must first understand the nature and breadth of those problems. Our reporting aims to do just that. Elsewhere on the Oxebridge site you will find White Papers and other articles proposing ideas to correct these problems.
