An audit is a systematic process of objectively examining and evaluating a company's financial statements or operational processes to ensure accuracy, compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards, and to assess risk management practices. It involves collecting and analyzing evidence to determine whether the information or conditions under review reflect the true state of the company. Audits can be conducted internally by employees of the organization. They are crucial for maintaining transparency, enhancing operational efficiency, and safeguarding stakeholders' interests.
