English term or phrase: to reference

This excerpt: https://tinyurl.com/yyeddrls is taken from training materials for auditors. I am not clear about the meaning of ‘’reference’’ as a verb in this context. I’ve looked it up here https://www.thefreedictionary.com/reference but still can’t decide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
