| - Imperial Auditors monitored the sale of high-tech materials and sensitive equipment across the Galactic Empire. It was easy for Auditors to track purchases and determine whether or not they were being purchased by insurgent elements such as the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
- Imperial Auditors were originally the Emperor's financial auditors: They made sure that the Counts were correctly paying the Emperor his taxes. Because they spoke with the Emperor's Voice, they soon became feared. It was said that bandits would ride point for an Auditor and make sure that no one disturbed him on his way. On Barrayar, the appearance of an Auditor was an immediate concern, and Barrayarans usually spent the few minutes between realizing an auditor was en route and the time he arrived trying to figure out what they had done to be Audited.

On Barrayar, the appearance of an Auditor was an immediate concern, and Barrayarans usually spent the few minutes between realizing an auditor was en route and the time he arrived trying to figure out what they had done to be Audited. On "modern" Barrayar, Imperial Auditors served more as Special Investigators. They usually were tasked with solving problems that had escaped conventional problem-solving strategies, though they could also handle more routine financial matters. "Since the official job description of an Imperial Auditor was, in effect, "Whatever You Say, Gregor," Miles could hardly argue with this." ―Miles, being blunt about what an Auditor's real purpose is. The office of Imperial Auditor (or at least its modern-day incarnation) may have been created by Emperor Dorca the Just Vorbarra as part of his governmental reforms to create a centralized monarchy at the expense of the District Counts and the Council of Counts.
