 Financial audit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A financial audit, or more appropriately, an audit of financial statements, is the examination of financial records and reports of a company or organisation, in order to verify that the figures in the financial reports are relevant, accurate, and complete.
The general purpose is for an independent party (the CPA firm) to provide written assurance (the audit report) that financial reports are "fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles." The measure for presented fairly is that there is less 5% chance (5% Audit Risk) that the financial statement are not materially misstated.
Financial audits are typically done by external auditors (accountancy firms).
