Depends what they've been hired to audit exactly - there's a difference in the way they will attack the IT aspects of a financial audit versus an IT management audit for example. In my experience, the former is worse because they are often done by finance people who will simply box-tick 'verified backups' before reporting to the board or regulator, unlike an IT auditor who will look at the systems as a whole and judge the processes based on their technical merit.
