Morphology

audit + program

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 can also mean a computer program that watches systems and saves records. Think of a tool that 'monitors' activity and gathers evidence, so the phrase means 'software' used to collect records and make reports.
