What is Auditing?

Auditing is a systematic process of examining a business’s financial records and statements to ensure their accuracy and reliability. While accounting involves recording and summarizing financial transactions to prepare financial statements, auditing focuses on critically assessing these records to verify their correctness and fairness.

The primary objective of an audit is to evaluate whether the financial statements present a true and fair view of the company's financial position and performance. This involves checking for compliance with accounting standards and regulations, identifying discrepancies, and assessing the effectiveness of internal controls.

In essence, auditing enhances the credibility of financial statements prepared through accounting. By providing an independent and objective review, auditing helps stakeholders, such as investors, regulators, and management, make informed decisions based on trustworthy and accurate financial information.
