	Audit
		Audit quality is vital for maintaining trust in the financial reporting process and the integrity of financial information.
		Audit teams equipped with a high level of technical skills and empowered with professional skepticism provide the heart and soul of a good audit.
		A multidisciplinary approach means audit engagement teams include experienced professionals in such areas as forensics, tax, information risk management and valuation, providing them with a broad understanding of an organization, and enabling teams to focus on key areas of risk, adequacy of internal controls, and potential fraud.

	Financial audit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A financial audit, or more accurately, an audit of financial statements, is the examination by an independent third party of the financial statements of a company or other organisation, resulting in the publication of an independent opinion on whether or not those financial statements are relevant, accurate, complete, and fairly presented.
		The auditing firm's responsibility to check and confirm the reliability of financial statements may be limited by pressure from the audited company, who pays the auditing firm for the service.
		The auditing firm's need to maintain a viable business through auditing revenue may be weighed against its duty to examine and verify the accuracy, relevancy, and completeness of the company's financial statements.

	Audit Committees: Encyclopedia of Business and Finance
		Audit committees are a key institution in the context of corporate governance because they help boards of directors fulfill their financial and fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders.
		Through their audit committees, boards of directors establish a direct line of communication between themselves and the internal and external auditors as well as the chief financial officer.
		Recognizing that audit committees operate on a part-time basis and serve in an advisory capacity to boards, it is essential that boards place limitations on the scope of the committees' charge.

	NARA - ISOO - ISOO Audit
		As a result of this audit, the affected agencies have agreed to abide by interim guidance that includes provisions that require the public to be informed that records have been formally withdrawn from public access at NARA due to classification action as well as how many records are affected.
		During the audit it was determined that both CIA and NARA failed to notice that approximately 28 of the items identified by CIA for withdrawal (11 percent of the total) and withdrawn by NARA had apparently been previously reviewed and declassified pursuant to proper authority under the FOIA.
		One of the challenges confronted by this audit in determining the appropriateness of the classification actions taken by an agency was that it was not always apparent that the record was, in fact, initially declassified without proper authority.

	NARA - Press - National Archives Information Security Oversight Office Releases Audit on Withdrawal of Records from ...
		This 28-page audit report focused on the re-review efforts undertaken since 1995 by agencies that believed certain records at the National Archives were improperly made available to the public because they contained classified national security information and had not been declassified under proper authority.
		The audit, ordered by the Archivist, was in response to complaints from researchers who had reported to ISOO that many of the documents withdrawn from public shelves had been previously published and according to the researchers did not appear to warrant withdrawal for national security concerns.
		The audit also found that in attempting to recover records that still contained classified information, there were a number of instances when records that were clearly inappropriate for continued classification were removed from public access.
