Morphology
The compound denotes a program for carrying out audits, which is directly derivable from 'audit' (inspection/review) + 'program' (an organized system or software). This is a compositional, literal combination (a program used for auditing) and mirrors constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Audit program shows a simple picture of an organized program for an audit. Imagine a clear, step-by-step list someone follows to 'check' books and records, so it means 'an organized list of steps' to follow.
