You make it sound like the company passes them a folder, they flick through it front to back and give it a big rubber stamp of approval. Perhaps revisit the objective of auditing and some of its synonym's. It a slightly more involved and sophisticated vocation with skin in the game. One thing is for sure, they don't go on information they are not given.
Not sure how you arrived at the sum of the post blaming the auditors - maybe you're superimposing embedded prejudice.
With regard to the auditors exhibiting prudence, its also good that you have been prudent and sufficiently vague not to name people directly. If you are in possession of facts to support your "books look like they were cooked" assertion, maybe go out on a limb and provide them so we can put this whole thing to bed.
