A financial audit is a comprehensive examination of a company's financial records, processes, and controls. The primary purpose is to verify the accuracy of financial information, ensure compliance with applicable regulations and standards, and provide an independent assessment of the company's financial health. Audits can take various forms, including compliance audits, performance audits, and risk assessment audits, each serving different purposes and providing different types of insights.
