Auditor here. It’s not our job to figure out if the company is pissing money away. It’s our job to provide reasonable assurance that those transactions are recorded properly. Unless it is fraud or the company is in danger of folding, we don’t care if the company is making poor choices.

A government audit, like GAO does, can include whether the expenditures were wasteful.

An entity I worked for got an award because an audit was able to clearly track all the money they spent. Not that the money was well spent. Basically just that the money was accounted for. And they would tout this award as if it showed they were fiscally responsible but it didn’t. Irritates the shit out of me.
