Auditing

External and internal auditing, procedures, evidence, risk, and professional standards

Understanding Auditing

Auditing is a systematic process of obtaining and evaluating evidence about financial information, activities, controls, or operations. It helps users assess whether information is reliable and whether established criteria have been followed.

External audits primarily support confidence in financial statements, while internal audits evaluate governance, risk management, controls, and operational processes. Both require evidence, professional judgment, objectivity, and clear reporting.

Audit requirements and professional standards may differ according to the engagement, jurisdiction, and applicable reporting framework. Current official standards and regulatory requirements should always be consulted.
