While you're right, jseal, that this appears to be a financial audit rather than a planned look for computer abuse, it does point out one thing. A lot of companies (and organizations) are tightening down controls over the use of their computers (and phones) by scanning emails, or intercepting communications; taking strong disciplinary actions when abuses are found. There's a "big brother" feel to a lot of that, but, I can kind of see their point. If you're emailing friends, you're not working. If you're looking at sites that are not business related, you're not benefiting the company. Before I retired, I used to work on the principle ... if I would openly tell my boss what I was doing, it's probably okay; if not, I'm probably at risk.
