A traditional audit generally ensures that you are meeting the standards of some sort of guidelines, whether that be generally accepted accounting principals or an income tax act. Basically, that you have met your responsibilities to report any obligations correctly.

Certain provisions of the UCC to apply to merchants only?
Yes. If the provision clearly says "merchants," then it's only for merchants. Ex: §2-205: "An offer by a merchant to buy or sell goods in a signed writing which by its terms gives assurance that it will be help open is not revocable, for lack of consideration, during the time stated or if no time is stated for a reasonable time, but in no event may such period of irrevocability exceed three months; but any such term of assurance on a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror."
For a non-merchant, an option can be revoked at any time if there's no consideration. Just read the specific provision and if it says merchant, it's for merchants only. If it doesn't specify and merely says "buyer" or "seller" or something along those lines, then it applies to both merchants and non-merchants.
