Etymology
Audit comes from the Latin verb audire 'to hear' and shares the root with audio; long ago officials would listen as people read accounts or reports aloud, so an auditor's job was to check by hearing. So an audit today is a careful inspection or review of a situation, process, or set of accounts.
