How does a customer get PCI audited?

I have a client (same one from a previous post) who has some pretty serious security issues on their network (unsecured .mdb file with credit card into, etc). I will be fixing the major security holes in their network, but they still have PCI compliance issues, and I'm assuming they need to have a quarterly scan done. They've had this setup for about a year, they knows nothing about PCI and compliance (myself included, I am not a QSA and still learning about the compliance procedure). What are the chances of them getting audited? How does all that work? Could they potentially fly under the radar for years? I thought there was something they had to report quarterly to show they're working on compliance, or something. I want to be able to tell they company "Listen, here's what could happen if you get audited, and here's the chances of you getting audited" in hopes they would take it seriously. I don't want to scare them without knowing the facts, first I want to know the facts, then I will scare them. Thanks.
