Introduction
Risk Based Auditing (RBA) is a methodology that links internal auditing to an organisation’s overall risk management framework. It allows the internal audit function to provide assurance to the board that risk management processes are managing risks effectively, in relation to the risk appetite. RBA ensures that audit resources are focused on the areas of highest risk, thereby maximising value to the organisation.
