Background of the Study
Risk-based auditing (RBA) has become a pivotal strategy for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector financial management. In the context of Sardauna Local Government Area, public institutions face significant challenges in managing public funds due to limited resources, corruption, and inadequate financial oversight. Risk-based auditing focuses on identifying and evaluating risks that could potentially undermine the achievement of organizational objectives, thus ensuring that auditing efforts are directed toward the most critical areas. This study seeks to explore the impact of risk-based auditing on improving public sector efficiency in Sardauna Local Government Area, especially in terms of resource allocation, budgeting, and overall governance.

These issues stem from inadequate implementation of risk management strategies, poorly trained audit personnel, and insufficient resources for auditing activities. This study aims to assess the extent to which risk-based auditing has contributed to enhancing the efficiency of public sector operations in Sardauna Local Government Area.
