Quite a lot of work goes under contract from the government and auditors or "program evaluators" are pretty common. A lot of grant programs on the social service and education side have a employee as a grant officer but are pretty much run by outside contractors.

Not saying it is good or bad (kind of depends on who the contracting company is), but it is very common and pretty much standard business for the government.
