Financial Audits
Audits
are independent appraisals of an organization’s accounting,
financial, and operational systems. The two major types of financial audits are the exter-
nal audit and the internal audit.
External audits are financial appraisals conducted by experts who are not employees
of the organization. External audits are typically concerned with determining whether
the organization’s accounting procedures and financial statements are compiled in an
objective and verifiable fashion. The organization contracts with a certified public
accountant (CPA) for this service. The CPA’s main objective is to verify for stockholders,
the IRS, and other interested parties that the methods by which the organization’s finan-
cial managers and accountants prepare documents and reports are legal and proper.
