I used to work for an insurance company (life, not health), and when business was sluggish my duties included tidying and auditing very, very old policies. 99% of policies from the 1930s-50s were for men, and the few women's policies all had LETTERS FROM THEIR HUSBANDS AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE.

What's the point of auditing something that old? Wouldn't it just be digitizing and archiving at that point?

Doublechecking numbers, like @phdepressed said, while also making sure that all the pertinent pages had been legibly scanned before incinerating the originals.

Making sure things have/had been paid appropriately by both sides is still important.
