Define auditing

Answer: PSA 200 defines auditing by stating the objective of a financial statement
audit, that is, to enable the auditor to express an opinion whether the financial
statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an identified
financial reporting framework.

An audit is a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence


regarding assertions about economic actions and events to ascertain the degree of
correspondence between these assertion and established criteria and communicating
the results to interested users.
