They are audited by FAA "compliance officers" who conveniently are employees of the company they are auditing. No conflict of interest at all

Uh is that real? It cant be.
That's absolutely insane...why is it not a requirement to have audits performed by a third party, or the FAA themselves? This is laughably ridiculous, especially for an industry that claims to be focused on safety and quality.
The term you're looking for is "regulatory capture."
FREEDUM™️

That's bullshit. FAA audits some things, but quality audits are third party. Here it's usually SAI global.
