For strict accounting usage, "unaudited" is a very common expression.
"unaudited report"
"unaudited financial statement"
"unaudited balance sheet"
"unaudited tax return"
Use of "unaudited" is commonly understood to mean, "not yet verified."
This is a warning financial numbers may not be correct or subject to change.
This word "unaudited" is recognized worldwide by all major financial
institutions, and by all major accounting and stock brokerage firms;
it is a "safe" word to use.
An interesting sidenote is when a potential stock investor reads a company
financial report which includes "unaudited" in wording, this is a danger
signal the company is telling lies. Use of "unaudited" on Wall Street is
to preemptively (before hand , in anticipation of) provide an "out" for
subsequent (later, resulting) civil litigation.
Otherwords, "Our company is saying 'unaudited' so you cannot sue us later for lying to you."
