English term or phrase: RE: Audit
I am having trouble with a few terms contained in an audit report and desperately need y'all's help:

Audit: allgemeine Frage, Kann man das im Deutschen so lassen, entweder als Auditbericht oder Audit-Report?

PBIT profit before interest and tax -- gibt es da eine Abkürzung im Deutschen?

Thanks so much for your help!

Auditbericht


Explanation:
And this is what LEO has on:
earnings before interest and taxes [abbr.: EBIT][econ.] = der Gewinn vor Zinsen und Steuern
earnings before interest and taxes [abbr.: EBIT][finan.] = Gewinn vor Steuern und Finanzlasten
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization [abbr.: EBITDA][finan.] = Einkünfte vor Zinsen, Steuern, Abschreibungen und Amortisation

Revisionsbericht or Prüfungsbericht


Explanation:
I would not leave Audit, the term Audit has a rather restricted meaning in German (for instance, TÜV issues Audit-Zertifikate). Your context suggests a financial audit, i.e. an audit of someone's books, and that's Revision or Buchprüfung in German.

Woywode, WB Rechnungslegung und Steuern, suggests Prüfungsbericht

You'll get plenty of pertinent hits on either term.

PBIT - I'd leave it, but add the German explanation in parens

PBIT Profit Before Income Tax
Gewinn vor Einkommensteuer
[www.abkuerzungen.de]

Die “adjusted taxes” rühren daher, dass sie sich beim PBIT nicht beziehen auf den Zinsaufwand
