# conduct financial audits — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'conducting financial audits' isn’t *always* about external, formal audits (though that’s part of it!). More often, it means a constant cycle of internal review and verification embedded in your daily work. Think beyond just year-end closing; you're routinely auditing transactions – reconciling bank statements, verifying invoice accuracy against receiving reports, tracing asset purchases to supporting documentation, and investigating unusual variances in GL accounts. It’s about proactively identifying errors or fraud *before* they become material issues. You'll use tools like Excel for data analysis, accounting software reporting features (QuickBooks, SAP, Oracle), and potentially specialized audit software depending on the firm/company size.
