Consultants pretend to audit and companies pretend they're being audited.

The company is happy to say "we did it, we're secure! Nothing to worry about!"

The consulting firm is happy to cash checks.

One clue that a company is more interested in pretend work than real work is they start hiring consultants. No offense to consultants intended by the way. Most of the economy is pretend work.
