Auditing

a poem by Jagganathan V

When a pair of eyes aren’t believed,
When the person at the helm of affairs doesn’t feel relieved,
‘Auditing’ comes into the fray of things,
‘Alarm bells’ if any an auditor rings.

Systematically examining data, analysing data and obtaining audit evidence,
Never shirks off his responsibilities and always portrays a picture of confidence.
He is the need of the hour, his eagle sight,
Left in a dark desert often, yet he is the leading light.

He has drunk fully the river of knowledge, yet his thirst remains to be quenched,
There is a rain of newer and newer things and he has to get really drenched;
Honest to the core, daring as a real soldier, inquisitive as a child,
Effective and efficient always, his approach is either mild or wild.
