Yes, it's correct. The repetition of "yet" is noticeable but is OK if the extra emphasis is intentional. If not, delete one of them.

I would advise against using "yet" twice. I would place it in the clause that has most expectation, or the delayed output you wish to emphasize.
For example, if the report is what is expected and you wish to emphasize its delay, I would place it here:
"The report is not done yet, because the audit has not been finalized."
If the report is expected, but you want to emphasize
