The importance of auditing and its main types

A auditing It is an important denomination used in accounting practices, to examine and verify a company's financial records and thus ensure that financial information is represented in a fair and accurate manner.

Financial statements capture a company's operating, investment, and financing activities through various recorded transactions, and are prepared internally by the company's management, using relevant accounting standards, such as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which were developed to provide useful information to users, such as shareholders, creditors, customers, suppliers, partners, and government entities. To ensure that financial statements are prepared in accordance with relevant accounting standards, a auditing is performed.

As financial statements are developed internally, there is a high risk of fraudulent behavior on the part of their preparers. Without proper regulations and standards, they can easily defraud the financial position to make the company appear more profitable or successful than it actually is.
