This may be a naieve question (or even in the wrong thread!) but what do auditors 'audit' and does it have to occur annually before the organisation can publish its Annual Report and Accounts?
In the NHS Trust I work for a consultation document was recently circulated from which we learned that the Trust Board had 'no idea' how much money was spent on training and development each year (though it is reckoned to be in the millions!!)
I had always thought an organisation - especially a public service - was more carefully audited, and wondered what was included/excluded when the institutions accountants 'look at the books'?
