...record pace: 13,001 cars and trucks in his 15 years as a salesman before retiring at the age of 49. His stratospheric sales figures attracted the attention of the Guinness Book of World Records, which had Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu—then called Deloitte and Touche—audit his records to verify their legitimacy before including him in the book...
...Let’s begin with the issue of food waste. HUDS’ food waste audits have revealed that the average student leaves approximately 100 pounds of uneaten food on his tray over the course of a school year. Multiplying the recent audit figures by the number of undergraduates, we find that students are wasting a prodigious 400,000-700,000 pounds of food each year.

Guam, at least, isn't taking chances: On Saturday, the American protectorate's governor signed a bill suspending...
Rather than waiting for results to be contested, some states are requiring election officials to conduct random samples of electronic results next week and compare them with the paper printouts.

They will soon conduct random audits of 5% of the devices used in early voting...
...Toulouse, France, and Hamburg, Germany, both work on the plane, but their software is not always compatible. Streiff admitted to employees last week that the design tools for wiring "could not keep pace with the rest of the program." Management communication is also poor. Leaked minutes of an EADS audit committee meeting last May, for example, show senior executives contradicting each other and giving highly divergent opinions about how long or serious the delays were likely...
