An audit is a systematic examination and evaluation of an organization’s financial records, processes, or systems to ensure accuracy, compliance, and effectiveness. It involves a thorough review of financial statements, internal controls, and operational procedures to identify any discrepancies, risks, or areas for improvement. Audits are typically conducted by independent professionals or internal audit teams to provide assurance to stakeholders, including investors, shareholders, and regulatory authorities. The findings and recommendations from an audit help organizations enhance transparency, mitigate risks, and maintain the integrity of their financial and operational activities. By conducting regular audits, organizations can ensure accountability, compliance with regulations, and sound governance practices, ultimately fostering trust and confidence among stakeholders.
