audits are only valid for that one instant in time when it was performed. anything could have changed after the fact.

You could say the same about all auditing. A restaurant could have changed its food hygiene standards since it was audited. But a company with a history of periodic and successful audits is certainly a good trust marker for me.

Restaurants routinely can't uphold their standards and often get wildly different results on every inspection. But yes I do say the same about all audits.
