auditor

An auditor is a professional who examines financial records and operations of organizations to ensure accuracy, compliance with laws and regulations, and proper use of resources. Their main goal is to provide an independent assessment of financial statements, verifying that the information is reliable and truthful. Auditors may work for public accounting firms, government agencies, or within a company’s internal audit department. Their findings help stakeholders, such as investors and management, make informed decisions and maintain accountability in financial reporting.
