Morphology

auditable = audit (transparent) = audit + able

Clear productive formation: the verb 'audit' (to examine) + '-able' yields 'able to be audited'.

Etymology

The word auditable comes from the Latin audire 'to hear' and the idea of an audit as a 'hearing' of accounts, which later meant a careful check, so something auditable can be examined and checked for accuracy.
