      abstract = {The increasing complexity of financial reporting and regulatory compliance has underscored the need for more efficient audit processes. Statistical sampling has emerged as a critical tool in modern auditing, enabling auditors to analyze large datasets while maintaining accuracy and reliability. By leveraging statistical sampling techniques such as random, stratified, systematic, and monetary unit sampling (MUS), auditors can optimize resource allocation, reduce time and costs, and enhance the overall effectiveness of financial audits. The integration of advanced data analytics and automation further strengthens the precision and efficiency of statistical sampling, reducing human error and improving audit quality. Compliance with financial reporting regulations, such as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) guidelines, is essential for maintaining transparency and accountability. Effective internal controls, risk-based auditing approaches, and automated compliance reporting mechanisms help organizations align with these regulatory requirements. However, challenges such as evolving regulatory landscapes, cybersecurity risks, and data management complexities necessitate continuous adaptation of audit methodologies. Technological advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and blockchain, are revolutionizing audit efficiency by facilitating real-time auditing, fraud detection, and automated compliance verification. These innovations reduce the manual workload, improve audit accuracy, and strengthen financial oversight. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, financial institutions and auditors must adopt a proactive approach to integrating statistical sampling, automation, and data-driven decision-making into their audit strategies. This review explores the role of statistical sampling in enhancing audit efficiency, examines best practices for compliance in financial reporting, and discusses future trends in auditing. By adopting advanced methodologies and leveraging technology, organizations can ensure greater financial transparency, mitigate risks, and improve overall audit effectiveness in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.},
