Ah, the auditor was just trying to make a name for himself. Guess he forgot the golden rule: 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you.'

Hmm, I dunno, man. Accepting travel costs from the conference organizers while presenting your own work? That's a big 'ol ethics violation if you ask me. Auditors gotta be squeaky clean, yo.

Hold up, what do you mean the auditor didn't violate objectivity? Presenting your own work at a conference? That's a major conflict of interest!
