It's called "manufactured credibility" and it's about as worthless as the paper it is written on.

Not exactly true. Many things that are important are audited or inspected, not simply signed off on.

True, but audits aren't necessarily guarantees of anything either, and also rely on a certain amount of trust and disclosure that those being auditing aren't actively trying to game the audit.
