In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the sample of the study which consisted of (152) employees who were financial managers, account managers, internal auditors and employees working in the company's information technology departments. The number of questionnaires retrieved and statistical analysis was (136). To analyze data and test hypotheses, the statistical program (SPSS) was used. The study found that there is a significant effect on the effectiveness of accounting information systems on the risks of electronic auditing in Irbid Electricity Company.
