I don't believe CASA is capable of auditing Qantas. There is this phenomenon called "regulatory capture", and senior CASA staff would be on first name terms with their opposite numbers at Qantas.

I would also imagine that if anyone at Qantas blew the whistle to either CASA or the ATSB, Qantas management would know about it within microseconds.
