what is audit

Answer Posted / kranthi

Audit is to check or to inspect. Checking or verifying if
some thing is been followed according to the defined terms/
standards.
This checking can be done many ways...
1) we can do it ourselves. This is called self audit
2) Some one from other departments of the same organization
can do this verification/ check. This is called Internal
audit or cross functional audit.
3) Persons from certifying bodies/ external agencies will
do this verification. This is called External Audit.

Also this audit can be for performance and comliance. If
the verfication is against performance levels of the
person/ department it is called performance audit and if
the verification is done for the compliance against defined
terms/ standards, it is called compliance audit.
