therefore, an exploratory study was developed to elicit the opinions of 43 specialists in the field of auditing distributed on a few local companies.

the results of the study revealed that: the application of the business risk audit (BRA) equation is governed by several variables that are directly related to the characteristics and advantages of the local business environment, which in turn led to change IAAFs’ audit approach.
