<p>The article examines the risks associated with the quality assurance process in higher education, focusing on various aspects that can affect the effectiveness, integrity and evolution of this process. Through the detailed analysis of the listed risks, from chaotic changes in legislation to the lack of specialized human resources and the decrease in the quality of external evaluation reports, the article explores how these aspects can influence the quality of university education and the strategic decisions of higher education institutions. Methods by which universities can manage and minimize these risks are also presented, emphasizing the need to implement proactive risk management strategies and strengthen institutional capacity to respond to the changing challenges of the educational environment.
