用法說明

audit doing 與 audit to do 的用法比較

  • audit doing 通常指審計一個持續進行的活動或流程,強調審查的對象是該活動本身。
  • audit to do 則較為少見,可能出現在表示目的或意圖的語境中,但並非標準用法。
  • 在正式商業與會計英語中,audit 最常見的用法是直接接名詞(audit the accounts)或被動語態(The accounts were audited)。
  • 動名詞(audit doing)的用法通常限於審計某種「行為」或「操作」,例如審計「處理資料」的流程。 EN: The firm will audit processing customer data to ensure compliance. 翻譯: 該公司將審計處理客戶資料的流程以確保合規。

EN:They hired an external agency to conduct an audit to identify potential fraud.

翻譯:他們聘請外部機構進行審計,以識別潛在詐欺。
