English Abstract

This dissertation aimed to survey the audit approaches currently used by auditors in Jordan, define their weaknesses, and identify the benefits accruing from the adoption of the Business Risk Audit Approach, the challenges that face this adoption along with steps, procedures and prerequisites of adoption..

To realize the above objectives, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 270 practicing auditors out of which 137 responses were subjected to analysis after excluding the illegible ones.

In addition some data was collected from secondary sources including books, periodicals, and unpublished dissertations.

Statistical analysis tools included descriptive statistical analysis; means and standard deviations, one sample T-Test, Cronbach Alpha, one-way ANOVA, and (K-S) Test.

The researcher came up with many conclusions most important of which were: the Traditional Audit Approaches are commonly used in Jordan despite their suffering from certain weaknesses; the Business Risk Audit Approach is still not well known or practiced in Jordan despite its enjoyment of many benefits; and the Business Risk Audit Approach faces many challenges yet these could be overcome by some recommended steps and measures specified in the recommendations.
