I certainly hope so. I've never heard of an audit taking nearly 7 months to complete when nothing criminal was going on.
I don't have any inside insight into what's going on at WMF, however...
Audit by itself no; audit plus putting into place a new, professional, properly managed financial management operations system (software, procedures, databases, etc), and merging the old data into the new system?
Sure. That takes more than 6 months all the time.
