if true - oh dear.

Interestingly, i find that most odd - here the audit culture is so widely
ingrained that i have just had to explain eloquently and at length that a 15
man monthly dining club with the same charge every month, no overdraft, no
bank balance greater than £100, all of whom are professional people and have
known each other for at least 20 years probably doesn't need an annual
report from a qualified accountant (me...).

Even an annual audit wouldn't necessarily have highlighted a discrepancy
though - and not just that it happened between audits.
