I believe the answer is:

wade

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

'auditor's considered move offshore?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'auditor's considered' is the wordplay.
'auditor's' shows a homophone (sound like).
'considered' becomes 'weighed' ('weigh' can be a synonym of 'consider').
'weighed' is a homophone of 'WADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wade that I've seen before include "Walk through water or mud" , "Walk through liquid" , "Paddle" , "Stride through river" , "Walk with legs partly immersed" .)
