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

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.

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