An audit is a review of a system, document, organization, or anything, usually done by an independent, uninvolved party. The purpose is to verify that the subject of the audit was completed or operates according to approved and accepted standards, statutes, regulations, or practices. Therefore the audit is an important part of management.
Some examples are:
- Telecommunication audit
- Financial audit
- Performance audit
- Information technology audit
- Academics audit
- Clinical audit
- The Scientology practice of auditing. See Scientology beliefs and practices.
