I have applied at a company and I am now hearing rumours that they lost thier certification last year and "shopped around" for a new company?

You should be to go to the accreditation body's website and see the current status of any company's certificate.  It should say something like CURRENT if they have a good certificate, or WITHDRAWN or SUSPENDED, etc. if not.
"I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind."

I was told they lost it then "shopped around" to find an easier auditor. The company they are with now is new to them.

I don't know the company in question here.. But in the past couple of years I have witnessed several move away from A2LA.  Each for other different reasons.

Keysight moved away a couple of years ago. Now they have moved again. It seems companies are moving to where ever let's them get away with breaking the most rules.
