auditing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 auditus(聴くこと)から派生した audit に -ing がついた形。audire(聴く)が語根で、中世に会計記録を「読み上げて聴いて確認した」ことから「監査」の意味に。関連語: audience(聴衆)、auditorium(講堂)。耳で確かめる行為が起源。
“Auditing” consists of “audit” and the suffix “-ing.” “Audit” comes from Latin auditus, related to audire, “to hear.” In medieval financial administration, accounts could be presented orally and heard by the person responsible for checking them. The word consequently developed from a hearing of accounts into a formal examination of records. Modern auditing also covers procedures, regulatory compliance, internal controls, and information systems, although the historical root still reflects attentive checking.
