Selected Answer: D
D. prioritize audit resources A risk-based audit methodology involves assessing and prioritizing risks within an organization's processes and operations. By doing so, it allows audit teams to allocate their limited resources to areas where the greatest risks exist. This helps ensure that the audit focuses on the most critical areas that have the potential for significant financial, operational, or compliance impact. While identifying key controls and understanding business processes are important aspects of a risk-based audit, the primary goal is to prioritize audit resources effectively based on the level of risk.
