Audits

/ˈɔdɪts/ noun

Definition

plural of audit; systematic examinations of accounts or processes

Etymology

From Latin 'auditus' meaning 'a hearing', from 'audire' meaning 'to hear'

Kelly Says

Audits were originally called 'hearings' because accounts were read aloud to be checked - imagine having to listen to spreadsheets instead of reading them!
