Auditors are professionals who examine and verify financial records and statements to ensure accuracy and compliance with laws and regulations. They assess whether an organization’s financial practices are sound and help identify any discrepancies or areas for improvement. Auditors can work for private firms, government agencies, or as independent consultants. There are two main types of auditors: internal auditors and external auditors. Internal auditors work within an organization to evaluate its operations and risk management processes, while external auditors are independent entities that review financial statements for accuracy and fairness. Both types play a crucial role in maintaining financial integrity.
