Basically when you evaluate something. A company, a project or something like that to see if everything is going as planned, and to see if you're making any mistakes, doing something illegal or violating human rights or the like.

This is from the link below

Auditing is a spiritual counseling procedure that was originated by author L. Ron Hubbard as the central practice of Dianetics and further refined by him as he developed Scientology.

Auditing, from the Latin audire meaning "to listen", is a central practice of both Dianetics and Scientology. It most often takes place in one-on-one settings, with one of the people being an "auditor" who guides the session, but it can also take place in group settings, or it can be performed alone, with a person acting as their own auditor. Auditing frequently uses a device called an E-meter, which measures the electrical resistance of the human body and which followers of Hubbard claim actually "measures the spiritual state or change of state of a person".[1] The E-meter is believed to aid the auditor in identifying "engrams".

In some situations and with training, an individual reads the things the auditor would say, responds to them, notes the meter's reading, writes down what is happening, and thus an auditor need not be present in person.

The memories and emotions discussed in auditing sessions are recorded in the form of handwritten notes in "preclear folders." The Church of Scientology claims that these files are held private and strictly confidential. However, this has been a topic of controversy, as at least one organizational directive has specifically authorized the use of the data in preclear folders for "internal security" purposes, and many former Scientologists have testified that this private information was used by the Church to harass or intimidate them, or that they themselves had used it in this fashion at the direction of the Church.

An outside agency looking over what you say your income and expenses are, and agreeing they appropriate, for public companies.

There is also internal auditing, which creates those figures. The problem of course is there a large amount of numbers that are not actual cash transations. They have not happened yet.

If the IRS audits you, they want you to justify your deductions usually. The arrest you with out comment if you did not report income.

Auditing, in general, is evaluating financial transactions.

Literally, "auditing" means, "to listen to", but the connotation (common meaning) is "to observe closely/to investigate". Like to audit a class, means to sit-in on it and listen, but not to be graded for it. For the IRS to audit you means that they will go over your financial records very carefully looking for discrepancies/errors.

When I went to school and students wanted high GPA, they could audit a course for no credit and the course would not be counted as a completed course. They could take it again and since they had taken the course already, their grade was as high as possible. Of course their GPA was as high as possible also.

;-D I just wanted to finish school ASAP!
