Are you passionate about ensuring financial accuracy and compliance? Auditing may be the career path for you!
As an auditor, your primary responsibility is to verify the accuracy of financial records and identify potential issues within a business.
What is Auditing?
Auditing is an on-site verification process that examines a quality system to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. It involves a systematic review of transactions to guarantee accurate financial record-keeping.
Types of Auditors
There are two types of auditors: internal and external. Internal auditors are appointed by the business owner to conduct audits, preventing financial flaws and ensuring company goals are met. External auditors, on the other hand, are third-party professionals (e.g., SARS, insurance companies) who examine financial records and operations.
