Law/Patents - Business/Commerce (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: audição
My doubt is the word "audição" in this sentence:
Todos os documentos relacionados com audições efectuadas a outros organismos públicos.
Any help is very welcome !

English translation:enquiry
Explanation:
it refers to enquiries made to public entities in order to obtain their opinion. This is a common process in Portugal. Ad "audit" is something completely different.
I think your first assumption is correct.
