In addition to performing audits of Ford Motor Company's business operations, the Auditing Department reviewed the financial and administrative activities of Ford's domestic, overseas, subsidiary, and affiliated branches. Employees of the Auditing Department conducted on-site audits of company operations, bank accounts, sales reports, production data, purchasing records, and accounting procedures. Auditors also evaluated branch management, conducted personnel evaluations, and commented on overall cleanliness, order, and customer service. In some instances, an auditor's report could lead to dismissals or promotions.
