Auditoimaan

Auditoimaan is the Finnish to-infinitive form of the verb auditoida, meaning “to audit.” It is the -maan/-mään form used to express purpose or to describe an action planned or undertaken in a non-finite form. The word is commonly found in professional and formal contexts related to audits, compliance, and financial review.

Usage and examples can illustrate its role in sentences. It may appear in constructions with verbs of motion or intention, such as mennä auditoimaan (to go to audit) or lähteä auditoimaan (to set out to audit). It also occurs in phrases describing planned actions, for example Aion auditoida tilinpäätöksen (I intend to audit the financial statements). In everyday professional language, auditoimaan signals the act of performing an audit as a purpose or upcoming activity.

Morphology and related terms. The base infinitive is auditoida, while auditoimaan is the to-infinitive form used in non-finite clauses. Related words include auditointi (the act or process of auditing) and auditoija or tilintarkastaja for a person who conducts audits. The term sits alongside the broader Finnish vocabulary for auditing, where tilintarkastus denotes the formal external audit, often conducted by a licensed auditor.

Context and scope. Auditointi and auditoida are widely used in finance, governance, and compliance contexts in Finland, particularly when referring to internal audits, risk assessments, or reviews of processes and controls. While tilintarkastus remains the formal term for statutory audits, auditoida and auditointi are common in corporate and advisory discourse to describe the act and practice of auditing.
