They don't do random audits.  They do targeted audits though.
They rely on people either being stupid (eg. 7,000hrs of Sov pots/Major Slayers etc) and narcs (plenty of those).
Even then only a small % likely get caught.

Anecdotal reports are players having lodged a ticket and the GM saw shit in their account, followed by extreme prejudice.
Others have tested and disputed that.  It's hard to prove, and most likely paranoia.   Like in most things, I think common sense applies.

It's unlikely that if you ask for assistance with a quest completion that a GM is going to audit your account.  Primarily because there are so few and they are so busy auto-closing tickets to bother.
If on the other hand you ask the GM to look at your inventory because your "tome bugged out" and there are stacks of Card XI's, eSOS & eROSS essences, it is possible they'll investigate.

Turdbine seem to be a lot less militant than they used to be, and I don't begrudge them punishing players if you're caught cheating, because they need to be seen to do something.  I don't agree with witch hunts because it a waste of resources and quite frankly they handle it appallingly.  I'd rather they applied the same vigour and enthusiasm to not introducing bugs in the first place.

Any of us undertaking the dark arts must accept the risk vs rewards.

Two people that I know were caught after submitting a ticket due to lost ED's after an ETR/TR.. one didn't bother to hide the shit, the other missed a stack of an ingredient and was asked about it and banned by a GM for not providing a good answer..

Any others I know were banned when cards initially came out and were being idiots about spamming trade/tornadoes/etc.

They're not going to take action unless you force them to. Keep a low profile and you'll be fine.

Easy ways to track you: AH/SH (pure f2ps cannot use shard house, so they are not risking there) posts, Buyback list (premiums, vips have a longer buyback list, so pure f2ps are harder to catch there), also there are chat logs, they eventually get refreshed(deleted).

Alternatively, if you snith on someone, the GM can decide to check YOUR inventory too, so make sure you are immaculate when being a snitch. Or being an asshole so to speak.
