Audit

We had audit come through our office and looked through each teams' files this week. And phew...! Our unit obtained the only 'green' area in the whole of Victoria which is a big achievement overall (audit ratings are green, amber, and red - no points for guessing what they mean).

They chose one of my files to review, and found nothing except for one item which was not quite something I could control. My other team mates' files were also clean. Overall our team also received a green rating.

Preceeding and during the audit, my team worked late till the wee hours of the night and even went back to work on the weekends. We shook in our boots with anticipation that the auditor might pop in front of us and penalise us heftily for mistakes we've done, or incomplete paperwork. We made triple, quadruple checks - one of my team mates even went through a file 7 times... of the file to make sure everything we could think of has been covered off.

This audit left me to look into my life more intensely... how am I living my life? Do I endeavour to do the right things all the time? Because at the end of my life, there will be an Auditor too. Just like the auditor at my office, His visit is inevitable. At the end of the day, the choice is mine whether to shake in my boots or be confident that I've done the right thing.
