It is not an audit in the accounting sense, but the total supply can be proven mathematically. This is by design, not a bug. Every Monero transaction cryptographically satisfies:

Sum(inputs) = Sum(outputs) + fee

The equation is provable without revealing amounts. It can be proven that every single transaction is inflation-free.
