This crucial function, which should be undertaken by experienced professionals, ensures accurate record-keeping, enabling businesses to assess performance, plan for the future, and maintain credibility with stakeholders.

In parallel, auditing emerges as a specialized examination of financial records, conducted independently to assess compliance with laws and accepted accounting principles. This subset of accounting involves both internal and external audits. External auditors, appointed by shareholders, provide an impartial opinion on the accuracy and fairness of financial records.
