An adequacy audit assesses whether an organization's policies and procedures are sufficient to meet its goals and objectives, focusing on the effectiveness of risk management and internal controls. In contrast, a compliance audit evaluates whether the organization adheres to specific laws, regulations, or standards applicable to its operations. While adequacy audits emphasize overall organizational effectiveness, compliance audits concentrate on legal and regulatory adherence. Both types of audits are essential for ensuring organizational integrity and performance.

There are three types of audit namely: 1) Legal Compliance Audit 2) Internal Standards Audit 3) System Audit Audit is the verification of a Process, a System or a Procedure. Examples:1. Audit of Firewater pump house. 2. Audit of a Process Plant 3. Audit of Quality Control Laboratory. Here the systems and processes are verified with respect to a documented procedure.
