customs audit
I would have said - probably not "audit" in strictly financial sense but in the sense of "taking a close look at the subject of", in the same way that a quality audit isn't financial either.

The difference is not huge, admittedly, but whereas \"audit\" as a noun has widened its scope from the purely financial sense to, as I said, meaning \"examine closely\", the verb and gerund seem to remain largely restricted to the financial sense.

What echo? Please explain what you are writing about.

: another other way. Mr Pena's remark is uncalled for since you entered at the same time. just depends on how Asker wants to word it. fwiw: No dictionary is fool proof-don't agree with such absolute belief in Harraps or any other dico for that matter.

: audit is just fine - why complicate with an unnecessary gerund? - and Harraps (or any other dico) isn't the bible.
