I’m new to accounting terms and keep coming across the word audit. I get that it involves checking financial records, but can someone explain in simple terms what an audit really is?
 
Audit is a verification of financial records, statements and operations usually in order to confirm their honesty and that they are within the law or standard. It assists in confirmation that the financial information of a company is veritable and fair. Audits may be internal or external, and are necessary to be able to build trust with investors and regulating bodies.
