audit software

Specialized programs that perform a variety of audit functions, such as sampling databases and generating confirmation letters to customers and vendors. It can highlight exceptions to categories of data and alert the examiner to possible error. Audit software often includes a non-procedural language that lets the auditor describe the computer and data environment without detailed programming. See EDP audit.
