auditor
Inspects financial records
An auditor is someone who examines records to verify their accuracy.
Most often this means a financial auditor—an accountant who reviews a company's books to ensure they're correct and compliant: The auditors found discrepancies in the quarterly reports.
Government auditors may examine tax returns or agency spending.
In academic settings, an auditor attends a course without receiving credit: She audited the philosophy seminar just for interest.
