Background of the Study
Risk-based auditing is a modern approach to auditing that focuses on identifying areas of high financial risk within an organization or government body. In Tambuwal Local Government Area, effective budget monitoring is essential to ensure that public funds are used as intended and are aligned with the strategic goals of the local government. With limited resources and an increasing demand for accountability, risk-based auditing provides a more efficient way to allocate auditing efforts toward areas most susceptible to financial mismanagement. This study explores the effectiveness of risk-based auditing in budget monitoring within Tambuwal Local Government Area.
