My other comment was about your second question (b). About your first question (a) I think it would be a mistake to just outsource it without good oversight. An Austrian saying which IMO answers your question best comes to my mind "Wer nichts weiß, muß alles glauben!" which translated to English means "Who doesn't know anything, has to believe everything.". Means you want to know if good decisions are being made.
