In Korea, '감사' (gamsa) in a business or financial context almost exclusively refers to auditing, especially for public companies where transparency is critical. It's a serious process, and news about corporate audits, particularly those involving large conglomerates (chaebol), often makes headlines. Interestingly, '감사' also means 'gratitude' or 'thanks,' but the context usually makes the meaning clear.
