Auditing is an official examination and verification of a business’s financial records. Auditing services include official inspection and verification of the credibility of financial reports. The main objective of auditing is to confirm whether the company’s financial statements are accurate and are following regulatory guidelines. Auditing also gives investors, creditors, and other stakeholders reasonable assurance that they can rely on a company and its integrity. Audits can be conducted by either a business’s management as an internal control process or by the government, in case they notice suspicious financial activity. Auditing services can be categorized into three major types:
- Internal audits: It is performed by a qualified auditor or accountant working within the organization. Internal audits can be conducted weekly, monthly, or annual basis based on company requirements.
- External audits: In this audit, financial statements are made by an independent, third-party professional. External audits are extremely beneficial as it is more unbiased and reliable than internal audits.
- IRS audits: Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits are government audits conducted to ensure that financial data has been reported in compliance with tax laws. These audits are mostly conducted randomly. However, more often than not IRS selects businesses based on suspicious activity, such as unusual deductions or uncommon sources of income.
