[Batman] How does Bruce Wayne use Wayne Enterprises to fund his expensive private projects if it is a publicly traded company?

Wouldn't independent auditors  or analysts eventually uncover what he is doing? Can we assume they must have found out by now how he is completely misleading his stockholders?

(In most Batman stories) Batman is funded entirely through Bruce Wayne's own money. His sizable fortune left to him by his parents is more than enough to keep Batman equipped AND to keep his facade of a playboy billionaire afloat. 

One thing to remember about the super rich is that they often hire huge staffs to handle various parts of their lives. Not just maids and butlers, but groundskeepers for their properties, mechanics for their expensive cars, secretaries and other personal assistants for business needs, etc. Bruce only has Alfred on some kind of regular payroll, so that's quite a lot of money saved each year. (I'd guess Wayne's prestige and some negotiated deals allows them to hire crews to handle maintenance on set schedules and for a hell of a lot less than a regularly-paid staff)

But still, his Batman-related spending is still carefully managed and disguised just in case people wonder about his spending sprees. But for the most part, people expect him to throw that kind of money around, so nobody bothers to look.
