auditing clerk
Auditing clerks collect and examine financial data, such as inventory transactions, for organisations and companies and ensure they are accurate, properly maintained, and that they add up. They review and evaluate the numbers in databases and documents and consult and assist the source of the transaction if necessary, which includes accountants, managers or other clerks.
