[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3928159, member: 26737"] Yes, actually. When you've been telling the bosses that there's an issue that needs to be addressed, it's useful to have a disinterested third party, like an auditor, put it in writing. From the boss's standpoint, it gives you an idea of how your organization is doing; even if you have nothing but competent, dedicated people working for you, they still have blind spots, and it's useful to get an outside perspective on the organization. IMHO, any administrator who's worth a damn should welcome an audit--and I'm saying that as someone who had to deal with audits every other year. I wasn't a huge fan of everything we had to do to get ready for them, and I wasn't particularly fond of the petty BS that usually ended up in their reports (though, as my old boss put it, if they're putting petty BS in the reports, that means you're doing everything important really well), but I always valued the job the auditors were doing for us.
