Abstract
The research aims to study and analyze the cognitive foundations of analytical procedures and the efficiency of external auditors, in addition to reviewing the relevant literature on the quality of financial reporting. It focuses on the extent to which analytical procedures are applied and on verifying the external auditor’s commitment to their implementation within a selected sample of Iraqi banks (Iraqi National Bank) The study is based on the hypothesis that adopting sound analytical procedures, supported by an audit team that is scientifically and professionally qualified, positively impacts the quality of financial reporting of the audited entity. To achieve the research objectives, the financial statements of the sampled banks were analyzed using financial ratios representing liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability.
Through a comparison between the ratios used by the external auditors and those applied by the researcher, it was found that the auditors primarily focused on liquidity indicators, applying only the current ratio, without extending the analysis to other ratios related to activity, profitability, and leverage.
The findings revealed that the effective application of analytical procedures by competent external auditors enhances the quality of financial reporting, as each element reinforces the other’s effectiveness; any weakness in one dimension directly affects the reliability of financial reports.
The researcher recommends that analytical procedures and financial ratios be applied by auditors throughout all stages of the audit process, as they provide essential support in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests, while maintaining previous results for comparative and future evaluation purposes..

Abstract
This study aims to present a proposed model for examining compliance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 related to interim financial reports, in light of the requirements of the International Standard on Review of Interim Reports (ISRE 2410). The research relies on a comparative analysis of the requirements of the two standards to identify similarities in requirements as a prelude to designing the audit and review procedures required by external auditors. Based on the above, the first practical aspect was conducted by designing an examination form to determine the level of compliance with the requirements of IAS 34 and designing audit opinions and reviewing the requirements for preparing interim reports. The second practical aspect was the design of a questionnaire containing three sections related to ISA 34 and ISAE 2410. The primary conclusions indicate that a proposed model for assessing compliance with IAS 34, grounded in international auditing standards, improves the accuracy and transparency of interim financial reports while diminishing the variance in audit and review methodologies between external auditors and economic entities. Interim financial reports are not subject to external audit and review, as is the case with annual financial reports. Rather, the review is limited to a limited scope that is not binding on the units, and an opinion is not expressed in the audit report. Attention should be paid to including all detailed information in interim reports, as is the case with annual reports. The most prominent recommendations were to subject interim financial reports to audit and review, as well as to express a neutral technical opinion on the results obtained. It is necessary to develop specialized training programs for external auditors to implement interim review procedures in accordance with ISRE 2410 using the proposed model.

Abstract
The research aims to study and analyze the risks associated with the adoption of accounting information systems, particularly human, technological, environmental, and legal risks. It also addresses the literature related to the reliability of the external auditor’s report by highlighting the nature of these risks and explaining the extent to which they affect the quality and credibility of audit reports issued by local audit firms.
The research is based on the hypothesis that identifying the risks of adopting and operating accounting information systems by regulatory bodies, and relying on auditors who possess the professional capability to disclose such risks, will positively reflect on the reliability of the final audit report for stakeholders who rely on accounting information. To achieve the objectives of the study, a conceptual framework was developed that covers the accounting information system, its internal structure, and the risks associated with its adoption. In addition, the framework analyzes the dependent variable represented by the reliability of the external auditor’s report and the characteristics that this report must include. The study also clarifies the role that risk identification can play, especially risks related to human factors involving system designers and operators, and technological risks related to the information infrastructure of business organizations.The researcher concluded that the level of disclosure regarding the risks of adopting accounting information systems in audit reports is still limited and incomplete. A significant portion of audit outputs continues to focus on traditional financial tests, without expanding into the evaluation of risks associated with modern systems. It was also found that the lack of systematic identification of these risks directly affects the reliability of the audit report and reduces the ability of users of financial statements to rely on it.
The researcher recommends that audit reports should include an annex or a dedicated section addressing risks related to accounting information systems, and that an evaluation methodology should be adopted encompassing human, technological, environmental, and legal risks, in addition to determining the impact of these risks on the fairness and credibility of financial data. The study further recommends enhancing the training of regulatory staff on mechanisms for evaluating risks associated with modern systems and integrating the results of such evaluations into the contents of the external auditor’s report, in a manner that strengthens its reliability and transparency for all stakeholders.
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of applying the internal control system according to the COBIT5 framework on tax performance. Data was collected from the research sample using the questionnaire form, and the number of distributed questionnaires was (55), distributed to each of the officials and workers in the Iraqi General tax authority, Professionals, and Academics at the University of Baghdad. A set of statistical methods were used to study the relationship between the two research variables, using the statistical program (SPSS) to analyze the data and calculate (the arithmetic mean, correlation coefficient, coefficient of variation, F test, R2 coefficient of determination, T test, Cronbach's alpha coefficient). The research has a significant positive relationship and influence between the framework (COBIT5) and the tax performance. The most influential dimensions of COBIT5 in tax performance dimension delivery, service and support (DSS), followed by evaluation, guidance and control (EDM), while the least influential dimensions in tax performance dimension compliance are planning and organization (APO). The research recommended adopting the COBIT5 internal control framework as a guide for auditors to advise senior management on the efficiency of the internal control system in the tax institution. This includes a governance framework for information technology, which is one of the most important pillars of the corporate governance system. This research also contributes by providing theoretical and practical implications for tax administration to improve the reality of tax performance.
Abstract
The research aims to identify the role and procedures of external auditing in developing and enhancing the work of internal control in governmental institutions. It also seeks to determine the extent to which the adherence of government units to internal control components according to COSO contributes to strengthening their effectiveness. Furthermore, it explores the role of the external auditor in examining and evaluating internal control within governmental units and the extent to which external auditing relies on it.
To achieve the research objective, questionnaire data were analyzed using statistical methods, specifically Factor Analysis, to determine the relative importance of each factor. Weighted data were then obtained based on the importance determined by factor analysis, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, incorporating the mediator variable (internal control components according to COSO).
The research population was defined as the Federal Board of Supreme Audit employees working in the Ministry of Electricity under the Iraqi Federal Financial Supervisory Board. The research sample was limited to a governmental unit subject to the audit of the research population, specifically the headquarters of the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, due to the availability of the necessary data and their cooperation in scientific research.
The theoretical part of the research relied on collecting data from books, articles, theses, dissertations, scientific studies, and all research related to the topic, whether in Arabic or English, as well as online resources. The practical part depended on creating a questionnaire distributed to the sample individuals.
The research reached several conclusions, the most notable being the lack of awareness among government units and their staff, especially the sample, regarding professional publications related to internal control, such as international and local auditing standards. It also highlighted the failure to keep up with guidelines issued by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board (e.g., the 2007 Internal Audit Units Guidance Manual, Audit Manual No. 4, and the 2024 Internal Control Manual). This was confirmed by practical findings, where respondents agreed on the existence of a relationship and influence between external auditing and the effectiveness of internal control. This influence could be negative if external auditors fail to develop and update audit mechanisms. Additionally, relying on COSO internal control components in external auditing helps enhance the effectiveness of internal control, as shown by the analysis results, especially with the presence of the mediator variable. However, the lack of knowledge about these components has led to weak attention to internal control elements, ultimately weakening internal control in public sector units.
Among the key recommendations of the research is the need to familiarize employees within the unit with professional publications related to internal control, particularly the 2024 Internal Control Manual issued by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board. This manual emphasizes the importance of adhering to internal control components and principles and their impact on enhancing the effectiveness of internal control. This can be achieved through seminars, workshops, and conferences conducted by specialists, in addition to those organized by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board. Furthermore, it is essential to distribute all professional publications related to internal control to employees for review and awareness of their key provisions.
