This study aims to determine the extension of implicating risk factors in strategic planning for internal audit in Yemeni commercial banks, including inherent risk factors and control risks, whether caused by internal or external influences, and focuses on the strategic purpose of internal audit. A questionnaire instrument, specifically designed for this research purposes, was distributed to 58 respondents comprising internal auditors of commercial banks, as well as auditors of the External Control Department of the Central Bank of Yemen. The study determines whether Yemeni commercial banks include internal auditing in their operational structure. It also determines the risks that internal auditors prioritize while developing their internal audit strategies. This study uses Smart PLS methodologies to evaluate the hypotheses through data analysis. The results indicate that internal audit is considered one of the important operational activities in the structure of commercial banks of Yemen, and that the planning process for internal audit largely takes into account the inherent risk factors and control risk factors, whether the audit process is carried out by internal auditors or auditors of Central Bank of Yemen.
