I'm not so sure... If the true concern is surviving an audit, a published file hash is worthless, really. I can publish the hash of any of my Hammer o' God tools, but unless you have the source code and compile it yourself, you have no way of knowing what I'm really doing in my code when you run it. The presence (or absence) of a hash has nothing to do with the integrity of a tool's operation, purpose, or effect - it's only the integrity of the bits.

That Integrity Check Tool is a joke. Where's the published known good file hash for me to verify that it has not been tampered with before I downloaded it? Sure as heck isn't on the web page that you can download it from.

Using an unverified tool to verify another piece of software
would have any auditor laughing at you pretty dang quick....  Just like
a cashier at a store shouldn't be comparing the back of your credit card
to your signature but to your state/government (hopefully checked and)
issued ID, since anyone can sign a credit card after it's been mailed
out.....
