Usually you would skim a sauce if you were trying to remove fats or grease out of it. Meat gravies or sauces are made from the juices that render out from the meat that caramelize in the pan. Meats with higher fat percentages usually produce a "richer" flavor. Some people don't like all the grease and fat do they skim the oil slicks on the surface off to try and recover a majority of it so the final product isn't so, shall we say, high in calories.

There could be other reasons one might skim the sauce, but without knowing the context of why you are asking, it is hard to assume what you are really looking for. If you still have a question, write back and I will try to explain a little better.
