What is the difference between accounting and auditing?
Accounting produces financial information: it records each transaction and organizes it into financial statements. Auditing examines that information independently to verify that it is reasonable and that the organization complies with standards and controls. That is why the program teaches them together: to audit well, you need a thorough understanding of how the accounts are built.
