Internal auditing - Company employees or contract second party

:topic: There is so much scratch-my-back-and-I-will-scratch-yours "funny" business in the world of contracted auditor-consultants out there. Very hard to police it, but, without a question, it represents a significant threat to the integrity and credibility of the management system certification sector. People pretend they don't see it.
Another real challenge is getting "too" familiar with the client (just as bad in the CB world as well). One reason there are 3 distinct and separate parties doing the internal audits that I do is we each have a different perspective and background and we've very little communication between each other with one or two exceptions such as in our planning, reports and the 14001:2015 transition. Our plans & reports are according to the clients format requirements and we coordinated the 2015 transition to ensure everything was covered well. Next year I'm sitting out (FY19) and a new player is coming on board, I'm supposed to rotate back in in FY20 (starts Jul 2019).
