Able to be audited or officially examined and verified, especially relating to financial records or business practices.
From audit (from Latin 'auditus,' to hear or listen) + -able (capable of being). The original 'audit' meant listening to accounts, which evolved into examining and verifying records.
The term 'auditable' became crucial after corporate scandals like Enron—now companies must maintain 'auditable trails' of digital transactions, creating permanent records of exactly who did what and when, preventing the kind of document destruction that enabled past fraud.
