Audit right to look at false statement (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

propaganda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'audit right' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'look at false statement' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'statement' could be 'pro' (pro is a kind of statement) and 'pro' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for propaganda that I've seen before include "Politically biased information" , "Goebbels' responsibility" , "PR" , "organised spread of information" , "messages" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
