@Dana WhickerSo it turns out, even though we were paying for an audit every year, there was never an audit done.

Under audit, the auditor will seek substantiation that what you reported was truthful.

But we also did a lot of really complex work, and the deal was pretty much that we'd never had a client lose an audit because we confirmed/tied down a lot more than many firms do.

If you aren't transparent, how am I supposed to know what quality materials you are using, and whether  myself (if I'm the investor) or the client  (if I'm consulting and providing financial auditing / oversight) is being taken advantage of and getting what they were promised?

Bottom line for everyone is that there are so few audited let alone disqualified that it is hard to extrapolate very far at all.
