Power BI dashboard analysing audit observations, risk ratings, and audit progress using real-world audit data.

📊 Audit & Risk Analytics Dashboard (Power BI)

🔍 Project Overview

This project presents an Audit & Risk Analytics Dashboard developed using Power BI to analyse audit observations, risk ratings, and audit progress across multiple business areas. The dashboard enables risk-based insights, helping stakeholders monitor audit effectiveness, control weaknesses, and compliance status through interactive visualisations.

The analysis is based on a Food Chain Audit dataset, simulating real-world internal audit and operational risk scenarios.
