It was an internal audit role and she wasn't a professionally qualified accountant.

  So no legal risk, but there is still professional risk. When external auditors come in or an issue is found that impacts customers, they could scapegoat their internal (deliberately made useless) team, fire them, and have a go at using that as part of their defense/response. The higher-ups would be ok if they can pull it off, but your wife would've been out a job and with an inability to get a reference from them (beyond the basic: She was employed here from X-Y). Best plan for everyone is to get out of shady companies like that ASAP.

      In my experience, yes. They certainly don’t tell people to slow down or ignore findings.
