Specialized audit companies have to get paid. They claim to be neutral parties, but they have an inherent conflict of interest.
When one company is making a sale to another company, not always, but sometimes, the sale is made by exploiting an inside political conflict. Sometimes the purchase is a prize in a proxy battle between two factions. Sometimes, it is to get some independence for one group from another. Sometimes, software is used to enforce the will of one group on another.
The outside firm, knowing who buttered their bread, fished around for clues on how the report was supposed to land.
