This study aims to examine the role of financial risk, risk management, and financial audits in influencing the progress of manufacturing companies. As global competition intensifies and operational complexities increase, manufacturing firms are increasingly exposed to various financial uncertainties that may hinder growth and long-term sustainability. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data collected from annual reports and financial statements of selected manufacturing companies listed on the stock exchange. Statistical analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to test the significance and impact of the independent variables—financial risk, risk management, and financial audit—on the dependent variable, namely company progress, which is measured through financial performance indicators such as return on assets (ROA), revenue growth, and operational efficiency. The findings reveal that financial risk has a significant negative effect on company progress, indicating that higher levels of financial uncertainty can disrupt the growth trajectory of manufacturing firms. Conversely, effective risk management practices show a significant positive impact, highlighting their crucial role in mitigating potential threats and stabilizing operations. Furthermore, the presence of a thorough and independent financial audit also contributes positively to company progress, as it enhances transparency, strengthens internal controls, and fosters investor confidence. This research underscores the importance for manufacturing companies to proactively manage financial risks and implement robust audit mechanisms to ensure sustainable growth. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the interconnectedness of financial control mechanisms and corporate advancement in the manufacturing sector. The results may also serve as a reference for company managers, investors, and policymakers in designing strategies that promote financial stability and business development.
