## Summary

Learn about **Target Sampling** and how it can help you pinpoint anomalies and elevate audit quality.

MindBridge now offers built-in support for Target Sampling, allowing auditors to focus on high-value, unusual, or risk-prone transactions—all within the platform, without relying on external tools or spreadsheets. This targeted approach empowers you to isolate specific entries or transactions based on size, risk score, or other key indicators, making it easier to surface issues that matter most.
