> public service sector tends to pay shit Oh this is certainly not that. Plenty of those institutions pay more than any reasonable job in the private sector and yet audit departments usually stand out by being filled with juniors to a much higher degree than others. The ECA might actually be the exception, these days I wouldn't know. Imagine if the president of any such institution would be outed in the media for knowing about something critical which needed action as highlighted by an audit report but swept it under the rug. Being able to turn the narrative from "maliciousness at highest levels" to "mistake/incompetence at low levels" makes all the difference. Some of these institutions paid juniors (freshmen with a couple of years of audit, or senior employees but with no auditing experience) close to 5 figures in net monthly salary just for the benefit of having this plausible cover of "junior mistake". For anyone not familiar with the European job market that's a lot, especially for a person implicitly tasked with doing a superficial job.
