Etymology

The term 'audit' stems from the Latin word 'audire', which means 'to hear'. It originated in the 13th century to describe the action of hearing a report when financial accounts were read aloud. The practice grew over the centuries, and the modern usage began to take shape in the 19th century with the establishment of formal auditing practices in commerce and industry. As businesses expanded and financial complexities increased, the need for more systematic and standardized methods of verification became necessary, leading to the professional auditing field we recognize today. The term 'audited' is simply the past participle of 'audit', indicating that the examination has been completed.
