The practice of an auditing in a primitive form can be traced
back to ancient times accounting existed before the advert of reading and writing in those early stages metal records where adequate demand. Audit is derived from Latin word “Audire” meaning to “here” the word auditor soon acquired a secondary meaning i.e. one who examines the accounting statement and satieties himself as the truthfulness and fairness of the statement.
Under the method of primitive forth but with the advert of writing and increasing complexity of business activities. Stewards began to keep some forms of writing records and the master examine such records so that act of book keeping and the practice of auditing involved side by side originally most enterprises where owned by individuals who finance privately and so the capital available to industry was strictly limited, there was therefore no need for audit as it exist today as enterprises greatly expanded and due to the evolution of mechanized factories provision for finance has to increase, as a result of this, men who entered into contractual relationship with one another, there arose the need to ensure the accuracy and liability of the resulting information.
Under the method o limited liability, share holders are usually disposed and majority of them do not have the technical knowledge of understand how there funds are being used. The share holders appoint a body to which then delegate the day to day running of the business to enable the share holders know the financial positions and performance of the company.

The joint stock company act of 1844 was the first enactment in the UK to require all incorporated company’s to have their annual financial statement audited. Under the act professional qualification was not a prerequisite to the auditing assignment. The auditor should also not be independent on the management.
It was the company act of 1990 which first made if legally compulsory for every company to have an independent auditor and provided for him a remuneration, but the auditor was required to report on the “truth and correctness” of the company’s financial affairs as shown in the balance sheet this at recognize the need for him to be professionally qualified.

Auditing usually arise when a group of persons handle money or money worth on behave of some other group of persons. This is done to satisfy the beneficial owners of the funds that their funds are being honestly and prudently managed.
