Background of the Study
Risk-based auditing is an auditing approach that focuses on identifying and evaluating potential risks that may affect the achievement of organizational objectives. In the context of rural development projects, risk-based auditing aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these projects by identifying financial, operational, and strategic risks.
