Check the books for fraud - it's in there (5)
I believe the answer is:
audit
'check the books' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'fraud it's in there' is the wordplay.
'AUDIT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for audit that I've seen before include "Financial investigation" , "Carry out annual check of firm's accounts" , "Thoroughgoing check" , "Examine accounts" , "Review firm's accounts, annual check" .)
