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

'financial examination' is the definition.
'audit' can be an answer for 'examination' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'financial' bit.

'gold dutch and italian' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'dutch' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for Dutch).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'italian' becomes 'it' (abbreviation for Italian).
'au'+'d'+'it'='AUDIT'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
