T18 Audit

An audit (Latin audire = to hear) is generally an investigation and testing procedure that evaluates processes, products or services with regard to their fulfillment of requirements and guidelines.
The subsequent audit report then forms the basis for implementing suggestions for improvement.
An audit has positive effects if it is constructive and shows potential for improvement. Audits are often used to test the effectiveness of measures within the framework of quality management
systems. They are carried out by specially trained internal or external auditors.
