	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 and complete.
		Financial audits are typically performed by firms of practising accountants, due to the specialist financial reporting knowledge they require.
		A financial audit is performed before the release of the financial statements (typically on an annual basis), and will overlap the 'year-end' (the date which the financial statements relate to).

	Greek Financial Audit, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Democracy's government then accused Costas Simitis and PASOK, who was the prime minister and president of PASOK at that time, of having falsified Greece's macroeconomic statistics, on the basis of which the European institutions accepted Greece to join the Eurozone.
		As a result of that financial audit, Greece fell in the list of the loan creditability and now pays more taxes on the loans it has with other countries.
		This caused criticism of the Financial Audit of 2004 and the New Democracy government by PASOK and parts of the press.
