Etymology
'post-audit' originates from the combination of 'post-' meaning 'after' and 'audit' from Latin 'auditus', meaning 'a hearing'.
'Audit' evolved from the Latin word 'auditus', which transformed into the Old French 'audite', and eventually became the modern English word 'audit'.
Initially, 'audit' meant 'a hearing', but over time it evolved to mean 'an official inspection of an organization's accounts'.
