Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of agile auditing as a modern approach in developing the audit function & profession and enhancing financial transparency in economic units, with a focus on the possibility of application in the Iraqi environment. The research addresses a main problem: traditional auditing methods have become unable to keep pace with rapid changes in the business environment, negatively affecting the quality of financial transparency, especially in light of declining transparency indicators in Iraq according to international organization reports. The research adopted the descriptive analytical approach and the developmental approach by reviewing and analyzing literature and previous studies issued by leading professional organizations (such as IIA, ISACA) and specialized journal reports, in addition to Iraqi studies in the field of auditing and control. The research found that applying agile auditing principles based on flexibility, short iterations and continuous collaboration with stakeholders-effectively contributes to enhancing financial transparency by enabling continuous auditing, early risk detection, and improving the quality of financial reports. The research concluded by presenting a proposed framework for applying agile auditing in Iraqi economic units, identifying implementation requirements and potential challenges.
