Cultural Context
In Korean business, '감사' (audit) is a critical annual process, often conducted by external accounting firms (회계법인) to ensure transparency and compliance. It's important to note that '감사' also means 'thanks' or 'appreciation' (as in '감사합니다'), but context usually clarifies which meaning is intended. Many companies also have an internal '감사팀' (audit team) or '감사실' (audit office) for internal controls.
Editorial note
We review business terms like 감사 for formality, so the example fits emails, meetings, or workplace conversations instead of casual speech.
