accounting / auditing is a good example. I review public finances. Many public agencies don't pass audits. Even those that do, wouldn't pass the smell test.

An audit just means "it looks like you are recording things" but it doesn't mean "it looks like you are spending money wisely.".

Patrons see "passed audit" and assume the agency is run well.
