Word origin
The word 'audit' originates from the Latin word 'audire', which means 'to hear' or 'to listen'. In ancient Rome, officials would 'audit' public accounts by listening to them being read aloud. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a formal examination of accounts, records, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance.
