"The Audit" is the thirteenth episode of the fourth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the 81st overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Carly Hallam Tosh and directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller. It aired on Fox in the United States on April 11, 2017.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, the precinct undergoes an audit when the crime goes down and a precinct has to be shut down. However, the auditor turns out to be Teddy, Amy's ex-boyfriend. While Jake and Amy try to calm Teddy, Holt works to clean the precinct.
The episode was seen by an estimated 1.91 million household viewers and gained a 0.7/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast performances.
After Gina (Chelsea Peretti) recovers from her accident with a halo brace, Holt (Andre Braugher) informs the precinct that while crime in New York has declined, this caused the NYPD to consider shutting down one of the 23 precincts in Brooklyn. As such, an auditor is coming to inspect the precinct.
The auditor, however, turns out to be Teddy (Kyle Bornheimer), Amy's (Melissa Fumero) ex-boyfriend. Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy spend time with Teddy to prove to him the precinct is fine, although both note he still remains the "most boring person in America". They find that as Teddy left his phone recording, they accidentally said rude things about him. While dining with Teddy and his new girlfriend Rachel (Jama Williamson), Jake and Amy retrieve the phone although they still tell Teddy about it. Teddy then reveals that he still loves Amy and proposes to her in front of Rachel, and is rejected by both.
Meanwhile, in order to pass the audit and give a good impression, Holt tasks Terry (Terry Crews) to fix a $21,000 Japanese copier that former Captain C.J. ordered. Despite the struggle, he manages to translate the instructions and fix it. Also, Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) is tasked with solving a rat infestation in the precinct. However, Boyle gets stuck in the air vent, and the rats cause him to shake up and break a water pipe, destroying the ceiling and the copier in the process. Holt then uses Gina in order to get sympathy from the NYPD's Facilities crew to fix the damages, and the precinct is cleaned. Teddy arrives and announces that he has decided to recuse himself from auditing the precinct. The new auditor, Veronica Hopkins (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) turns out to be Terry's ex-girlfriend. Despising him, she tells him she will shut down the precinct for good.
