an accurate person

Can we use "accurate" to describe a person? Defenitions I've looked up in dictionaries refer to things, information etc.

"He is very accurate in his calculations" (Macmillan dictionary for advanced learners 2003)

I don't know if it is common or correct to say "an accurate auditor" for example.
I don't know if there are any similar or better words for it.

As Khosro said, you can be accurate in something. To say that a person is just accurate is uncommon.

I guess a man can be accurate with a rifle, if he's a good shooter?

We would usually say "He's a good shot".

I think that you can. I saw sentences like: "How can I be more accurate with shotgun/bow?".
Other members can help you to find better words for it, if there are any.

Furthermore, take a look at this sentence:
"My aim wasn't very good and the ball went over the fence."(Macmillan dictionary)
