It's not a red flag, why would an auditor be aware prior to being called into a business.
They do not follow the companies actions throughout the year, regards to the disposal it would be an ongoing concern as it was resolved in 2018. making it an accounting adjustment mostly presented in a note.
Regards to it taking longer also, depends how many auditors the company is allocated. I've been in situations before where they have sent one auditor to review bank accounts. Then we tell them that there is like a 100, them thinking it was like 5.
We don't know even if the company continued with BDO LLP this year, they could of moved to another firm.
Which normally takes longer on the analysis.
