Auditing of (the) Computers


Explanation:
Rather than the ambiguous way which could mean using computers for auditing, this would mean actually auditing the computers, or maybe the use people are making of them, so yes, that's what it would be.

And of course this would be from So. America where they call them \"computadores\", because in Spain they are \"ordenadores\" and in Mexico \"computadoras\".

Computers (Technical) Audit


Explanation:
You must remember that Audits can be financial or technical, amongst others. I believe they are referring to a technical audit.
