6.3 Financial Auditing
Some audit entities operate in sectors where environmental matters like waste may
have material impact on their financial statements. Financial and performance audit
can also discover opportunities for cost savings. Checklists/tables which would delineate what should be evaluated during an audit, developed by the author are given in
Tables 5, 6, and 7.
6.4 Compliance/Environmental Auditing
Environmental audit is a systematic and objective investigation of environmental impacts, management, and equipment against a predetermined set of criteria. It assesses the pollution prevention activities in systematic, periodic manner
and internal investigation of operations to identify and provide information about
opportunities to prevent pollution and waste source (Benjamin 1995).
Environmental auditing is a management tool comprising well documented, periodic, and objective evaluation of how well the management systems are performing
with the aim of helping to safeguard the environment by: (a) Facilitating management control of environmental practices and (b) Assessing compliance with national
legislation, which would include regulatory requirements.
