"most questions simply related to why Revenue, Expenses, Assets, Depreciation, etc. were higher or lower than the prior year. Some questions were related to GAAP.(generally accepted accounting principles)."
you make it sound like an audit is done over tea and biscuits lol.
those questions aren't even important and most can be answered simply by looking at the trial balance of a company. Sounds like you worked for a private company. Besides if it is a large company, the auditors would know that information during the year and not at fiscal yearend. So i don't understand your point?
Companies behave differently with auditors. Some view them as partners most view them as a pain in the butt and add no value.
this is a non reporting pink - they can disclose the audited results on christmas day if they want. than again they don't have to disclose anything.
based on the PR's - one could take a logical guess that they are dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
