Aside from ordering a third party investigator, how else can a company prove to itself and everyone that they are serious about corrective action?

You're essentially saying they are guilty of everything and no matter the findings which haven't even begun, there is a conspiracy. I don't see how that cynicism is productive.

    My point is they shouldn't be the ones doing the auditing (or at least ordering it), it should be an outside source doing it (in this case, I guess a government entity? Or something independent from LMG anyhow).

    I'll gladly admit to being a cynic, but that's because I've worked in similar work environments, quit for very similar reasons and saw nothing being done too. So it's a sore spot for me too. I can easily see my own bias in this situation.

    In any case, we'll have to wait and see how it pans out. Hopefully for the best is what matters in the end.

    A third party isn't them though. I get what you are saying because LMG writes the check, but realistically that's the best anyone can do. Why would the government get involved? Specifically why would taxpayers pay to help rehabilitate a private company's reputation?

    Private independent auditors are in every industry and a standard practice.

    Oh, and as long as we're being cynical, let's say you got your wish and a government entity does the investigation. Odds are they would just contract it out to these same people. Same results, only everyone gets to charge more for their services.
