Per the man:
sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser
or another user, as specified in the sudoers file. The real and
effective uid and gid are set to match those of the target user as
specified in the passwd file and the group vector is initialized
based on the group file (unless the -P option was specified). If
the invoking user is root or if the target user is the same as the
invoking user, no password is required. Otherwise, sudo requires
that users authenticate themselves with a password by default

password for a short period of time (5 minutes unless overridden in
sudoers).
Nothing about corporate users or audits in the man page (although it is true, log entries are written).

WRONG! The main purpose in sudo is to permit audits and non sharable
root passwords in CORPORATE environments which have MULTIPLE system
administrators. Despite the ubuntu propaganda. Nothing, nothing and no
amount of ubuntu bizarreness making-truth-from-a-lie-by-repetition
will change that.
I have never used ubuntu nor read their propaganda, so what you say is not true. I don't care what they say, and I stand by what I said, which predates ubuntu.
