i was an independant auditor, but i wasnt doing the type of auditing that you guys are discussing.
public schools in the states of PA, OH, NY, WV, and KY (that i know of) require public schools to have a full record of their assets, with values. In some cases, we would get a list of assets from the school (or police station, or fire dept..any publically funded entity) and we would go through and verify that they have what they claim to have, or in some cases, we had to go from scratch.
the use of these audit is for funding purposes, so that the local and state govt can decide if a district has too much money, or not enough money. it is also intended to show that they are appropriating funds correctly.
it was a TERRIBLY boring job, and although the pay was good, the travel was not. The company wanted to make sure that we wouldnt enjoy ourselves on these trips, so they paired up people from the company didnt get along, and made us share a company car AND share a room...adult men, who barely know each other, sharing a room.
on top of that, my dad got sick, and i quit and moved home, getting a job in the area to help out with the bills at home.

Patrick,
what you described is no fun, no matter the company.
my rule was simple:
dont change what i do at home and we will do fine,
change it and we are done.
we got along just fine.
