Abstract

The current study aimed to uncover the influence relationship between the independent variable (emotional contagion) and the dependent variable (team effectiveness). This was achieved by understanding the conceptual framework of these variables and determining their level of availability at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Hospital. This was done based on the theory of emotional contagion and the team effectiveness model to explain the relationship between these variables. The research problem was represented by the need to understand the extent to which the spread of positive and negative emotions, represented by the dimensions of emotional contagion (sadness, happiness, anger, love, fear), affects the overall performance of work teams, their effectiveness, and the achievement of their goals. Although previous research has addressed this topic, most of it focused on Western work environments or neglected to study the integrated impact of all dimensions of emotional contagion on team effectiveness, creating a research gap that this study sought to fill. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted as the basic research methodology by describing the intellectual contents of the research variables. The questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection. A sample of medical and administrative cadres in the hospital was selected as the research sample. The total sample size was (223) individuals. Their data were collected through two methods: the first was by distributing the questionnaire electronically to (122) individuals, and the second was by distributing it manually to (101) hospital workers. Both (Excel) and (JASP v.19) programs were adopted in the statistical analysis. The results indicated the acceptance of the first main hypothesis, which states that there is a statistically significant effect of emotional contagion at the overall level on the effectiveness of work teams. The results also showed the acceptance of the second main hypothesis at the level of the dimensions of emotional contagion, as the effect of the two dimensions (sadness and anger) was negative, while the dimensions of happiness, love and fear had a positive effect on the effectiveness of work teams

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.

Abstract

The internal audit function is considered one of the basic functions in institutions because it is a source of information and data that is characterized by its credibility, and because it is a review and monitoring process of all the financial and non-financial operations of the institution in terms of discovering errors and shortcomings or even fraud and manipulation operations, and that one of the most important goals of the institution is its survival and continuity, and for this reason it led to the emergence of the internal audit function, and that the success of any institution lies in the success of its administrative and financial performance evaluation systems as it is the mirror reflecting the evaluation of actual performance compared to the planned performance of the institution.

The research aimed to determine the extent of the necessity of the internal audit function and performance within institutions, and the extent of the ability of institutions to achieve the desired goals through the optimal use of available resources. A set of tools were used, the most important of which were Arabic and foreign books, theses and dissertations in their theoretical aspect, while the practical aspect was the method of direct interviews with the working staff in the department who are specialists, observations and inquiries. Among the most important conclusions reached is that work is not done according to the schedule of tasks, as all the working staff in the department carry out all the work, and the organizational structure prepared by the Studies and Planning Department is not adhered to, as it was found that the Graduates and Certifications Division was merged in terms of work with the Registration and Acceptance Division.

Among the most important recommendations is obligating the department’s staff to implement the work according to the tasks assigned to each division and to work according to the tools of internal control (separation of responsibilities), obligating the divisions to the organizational structure in order to determine responsibilities and provide procedures that do not allow any staff to violate internal control. In short, the internal audit function contributes to achieving the effectiveness and efficiency of institutional performance by evaluating its operations and submitting the results of its work in the form of periodic reports to the institution’s senior management.

Keywords: Auditing, internal auditing, effectiveness, efficiency, institutional performance.

Abstract

The study aims to diagnose and clarify the role of audit evidence in assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the accounting information system for the entities subject to audit.

Abstract

The research addresses two main topics: the International Public Sector Standard (IPSAS 24) relating to the presentation of budget information in financial statements, and the Government Financial Management Information System (GFMIS).

In relation to IPSAS 24, the research focuses on clarifying how budget information is presented in public sector financial statements. The standard aims to achieve transparency and reliability in providing financial information to governments and government institutions. The research addresses various aspects of the standard, such as defining financial terms, basic principles, and requirements that must be met in submitting the budget.

 For GFMIS, the research reviews and evaluates this system that is used in managing financial information for governments. GFMIS aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government financial resources management, and facilitate financial planning, monitoring and evaluation processes. The concept of GFMIS, its components and benefits are reviewed, as well as the challenges of its implementation and future preferences for its development and improvement.

 Overall, the research aims to provide previous researchers with an overview of IPSAS 24 and its importance in presenting budget information in public sector financial statements, as well as reviewing GFMIS and its role in improving government financial information management. This research can contribute to raising public sector awareness of the importance of adhering to international accounting standards in the public sector and using advanced financial information management systems to enhance transparency and effectiveness in managing the financial resources of governments.

The main reason for linking these two variables is to enhance transparency, accountability, and financial control in the public sector and ensure that government financial information complies with international accounting standards in the public sector. Therefore, reviewing these two variables and analyzing their role will provide an important theoretical and applied framework for understanding the relationship between them to rationalize the budget. The most important conclusions reached for the review research are that the main goal of applying the (IPSAS) standards is to achieve compatibility in accounting policies at the global level by providing guidance and directives to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for government accounting. Evaluating government performance is achieved through commitment to applying the (24 IPSAS) standard., which allows the preparation of a variety of financial statements detailing the approved budget and actual expenditures, the final budget (adjusted allocation), and achieving the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. The government unit did not disclose in the financial statements the extent of compliance with legislative and regulatory laws and other regulations imposed by external parties. (The State) As for the recommendations, the researchers suggest that government institutions should commit to implementing the IPSAS 24 standard completely and accurately to ensure compliance with international accounting standards. Government institutions should analyze their actual needs and conduct a feasibility study before making any transfers in the original budget, in order to ensure a strong scientific basis and improve the institution’s performance in adhering to budget directives. Government institutions should fully and effectively implement GFMIS in all government units to enhance transparency and financial control. The GFMIS should also be configured in a way that meets the needs of the government unit in a way that enables it to record and track financial transactions and prepare financial reports in an accurate and timely manner.

Abstract

The research aims to measure the impact of public budget indicators and institutional quality (the quality of governing institutions in the economy) in reducing public debt for a selected group of Arab countries with renter economies for the period (2002-2023). Two standard models have been built to achieve this goal: The first model focused on measuring the impact of the general budget through its basic indicators represented by public spending and public revenues expressed in tax revenues, with the introduction of the oil price variable as a control variable due to its fundamental importance in explaining the dynamics of public debt in oil economies. The second model focused on measuring the impact of the six institutional quality indicators issued by the World Bank (control of corruption, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, voice and issue, and regulatory quality) on public debt. Using static analysis of longitudinal data models represented by its three models (pooled regression model, fixed effects model, and random effects model) for eight Arab oil countries, the research reached a set of results: For general budget indicators, the results showed that reducing public spending can contribute to reducing public debt, while there was no significant effect of oil revenues. While for oil prices, they had an impact in reducing public debt. As for institutional quality indicators, the results showed the impact of (political stability, government effectiveness, voice and issue) on reducing public debt, while the results showed that (control of corruption, rule of law, and regulatory quality) contribute to the accumulation of public debt. Therefore, the results of this research confirm the importance of the financial budget and institutional quality in reducing public debt and its sustainability in the long run.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the content of the theoretical relationship between fiscal policy and the public budget deficit by defining the concept, types and tools of fiscal policy on the one hand, and the concept and types of public budget deficit and methods of financing it on the other hand, as well as building a measurement model to study and analyze the effectiveness of these tools in financing public budget deficits for selected advanced countries during the period (2002-2019), and through the use of modern economic measurement tools within the software (Stata 14.2 & EViews 12) and using the (Panel Data) data collection method, a (CD-Test) test for cross-sections was conducted as an initial step to determine the tests that will be used In order to find out the static of the variables and whether they fall within the tests of the first or second generation, and after making sure that there is no reliability between the cross-sections, the Levin, Lin and Chu (LLC) test was used, If its results showed that some variables have a unit root, that is, some variables are stationary in the level and others are stationary in the first difference, and accordingly, this will lead us to include these variables in the model, and we will have a dynamic model, and in this case we will deal with the models of temporal slowdown and the best example On that, it is the auto-regressive distributed lag model for dynamic panel data model (Dynamic Panel ARDL Model) and with its three estimators, which are the mean group estimator (MGE), pooled mean group estimator (PMGE) and the dynamic fixed effects estimator (DFEE). The Husman Test has been used. In order to differentiate between the three capabilities; The test showed that the combined group mean estimator (PMGE) is the best. The Husman Test was used to compare the three estimators; The test showed that the pooled group mean estimator (PMGE) is the best.

Abstract

The research aims to test a hypotheses explaining the behavior of commercial banks towards government borrowing in the Iraqi economy on the one hand and the effect of internal government borrowing on bank credit. government borrowing on bank credit. The lazy bank hypothesis is one of the explanations for banking behavior, it believe a continuous increase in government borrowing from commercial banks can create a risk that leads banks to reduce their lending to the risky private sector compared to granting loans to the public (government) sector and thus eliminates their incentives to search for new profitable opportunities To invest in the private sector.
The effect of crowding out means that the rise in government sector spending leads to a decrease in private spending or sometimes even cancellation. The main reason for crowding out is to reduce the government deficit if the government borrows from the market to fill this deficit so the demand for investment in the market increases and the value of money in the market increases automatically And the interest rate increases. Using a method of Co-integration and a Error Correction Model to measure the relationship between internal government borrowing and credit in a short and long term for the period Jan. 2006-May 2020 monthly data . the results of the econometric model supported this hypothesis, which reflects negatively on the size and effectiveness of the private sector and its role in the Iraqi economy

Abstract

It is impossible to overstate how important employees are to a small business' survival and how well they are managed. This is especially true because, smaller businesses depend more on the individual contributions of the employees to the overall success of the business. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are significantly more prevalent than large corporations worldwide and employ a greater proportion of the labor force. In many economic sectors, SMEs are credited with fostering competition and innovation. While SMEs in Nigeria produce more jobs than large companies do, they also face difficulties that call for the assistance of experts from a variety of fields, including human resources managers. Therefore, this study uses a basic literature review and desk research approach to investigate the potential role of human resource management in SMEs in Nigeria. The main issues with SMEs' prior to the COVID-19 pandemic are identified as being insufficient skills and training, as well as depression and high labor turnover during the pandemic in Nigeria. In order to increase their effectiveness and efficiency in Nigeria, efforts are made to encourage SMEs to implement human resource management philosophies. As a result of the fact that no organization, no matter how big or small, can function without people, the study comes to the conclusion that human resource management is crucial. The study therefore recommends, among other things, that in order for Nigeria to experience sustainable post-COVID-19 business growth, SMEs must immediately implement human resource management strategies.

Abstract

It aims to analyze, study and discuss the shortcomings of the accounting system, and to achieve this, the descriptive analytical approach was adopted to study the accounting system and determine its main dialogue and its consistency with the requirements of the International Accounting Standard in the Public Sector (IPSAS24) in order to increase the effectiveness of the government accounting system applied in economic units through the use of  The relevant international accounting standards, and the research reached a number of conclusions, including those that the government accounting system relies on in recognizing financial transactions and events on the cash basis. Thus, the elements of the financial statements consist of cash receipts, cash payments and cash balances. Because of this basis, the results of the years’ business overlap and may encourage  This is on waste, as government units spend their allocations at the end of the fiscal year randomly so that they are not returned to the treasury،The research has several recommendations, including the need to apply the (IPSAS24) standard in government units, through which budget information is presented in the financial statements in order to achieve the qualitative characteristics of the financial statements, in addition to the statement of deviations and their causes and finding the necessary treatments for proper planning of the general budget.

Abstract

The research aims to demonstrate the importance of applying responsibility accounting in economic units and its role in evaluating the performance of responsibility centers by shedding light on responsibility centers and ensuring commitment to implementing the policies and objectives of the economic unit. The problem lies in the fact that the use of traditional methods of performance evaluation results from a lack of attention to administrative accounting aspects and a focus on applying the responsibility accounting system through evaluating the performance of cost centers. Due to their reliance on traditional methods and the lack of sufficient information, this has led to a weakness in performance evaluation according to modern methods. In order to achieve the research objectives and verify the validity of its hypotheses, the responsibility accounting system was applied, and the industrial sector was chosen as the research community and the General Company for Food Products, represented by the Amin Factory, as the research sample. The research concluded with a set of conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which was that the research found that there is weakness and shortcomings in the accounting reports and information provided by the factory, and the neglect of the aspect of preparing monthly, quarterly and annual reports, including the preparation of the annual budget plan to identify deviations and determine their causes to work on finding solutions that help in raising the effectiveness and efficiency of operations within the factory. The study recommends that responsibility centers should be defined accurately and clearly, with the responsibilities and activities associated with them and how to allocate costs to each center being clarified. The factory should work on improving production and administrative operations in the various responsibility centers in order to improve the overall performance of the factory. The accounting and evaluation system should be developed to be more comprehensive and effective, including the definition of clear and measurable performance standards for evaluating the performance of responsibility centers.

Abstract

This study examines the preventive role of Legal Technology (LegalTech) in monitoring anti-competitive behaviors, with a particular focus on current challenges in Iraq. The problem arises from the limitations of traditional tools in detecting collusion and monopolistic practices, in contrast to the potential offered by LegalTech solutions such as artificial intelligence algorithms and digital reporting platforms. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical and comparative methodology, reviewing successful international experiences (the European Union, Singapore, and the United Kingdom), alongside an Iraqi case study in a key sector. The underlying hypothesis suggests that while LegalTech provides promising opportunities for regulatory oversight, its effectiveness in Iraq depends largely on the development of digital and legislative infrastructures. Preliminary findings indicate that LegalTech can play the role of an "early warning mechanism" against anti-competitive practices. However, Iraq faces structural and legislative challenges that require urgent addressing.

Accordingly, the research seeks to provide a cognitive and policy contribution that deepens understanding of the preventive role of LegalTech and supporting Iraqi decision-makers in addressing current challenges, thereby fostering a fairer and more competitive economic environment.

Abstract

The global economy is going through multiple unexpected events and changes that will affect the banking sector, and therefore it is imperative to search for a tool that helps protect the banking institution and the banking sector, especially after the recent global financial crisis, as stress tests appeared, which in turn support management Risks in detecting banking risks before they arise, and therefore these tests give a dose of immunity to the banking community to protect it from expected and unexpected events. The research concluded that the banking stress test scenarios have partially affected the efficiency ratios that the banks have in the research sample, due to the durability of their financial suitability. Banks should apply the tests periodically and consider them as a shield that protects them from external influences.

Abstract

This essay discusses the many obstacles Iraq must overcome as it negotiates the swift digital transition brought about by new technology. Iraq urgently needs updated legal frameworks to handle sophisticated digital crimes that impede fair competition in light of the country's growing digital economy and emerging technical frontiers. The dynamics of digital markets cannot be adequately regulated by current anti-monopoly and competition laws since they are unable to keep up with dangers unique to the digital sphere, like information crimes. The effectiveness of Iraq's current legal, regulatory, and judicial systems in thwarting monopolistic behaviors and fostering competition in the digital age is examined in this paper. The study suggests a multifaceted strategy for bolstering Iraq's legal framework and competition laws, starting with significant investments in digital infrastructure and public-private cooperation. Increasing worker specialization, raising awareness of digital crimes, updating competition rules to match technology advancements, and broadening digital access across areas are some of the main recommendations. The report also calls on government agencies, business players, and non-governmental organizations to coordinate their activities and promotes international alliances to build technical oversight capacities. Iraq can strengthen its position in the global digital economy, encourage fair competition, and support economic growth by putting in place a robust digital regulatory framework

Abstract

This paper examined the channels by which the effect of monetary policy is transmitted to macroeconomics in Iraq using one of the dynamic random general equilibrium models (DSGE, smets and wouters 2007). The study shows a general equilibrium model and analyzes precisely the channels of impact transmission and their effects, via a range of instruments used by the monetary authority through the mechanism of transmission of the effect of Iraqi monetary policy to some macroeconomic variables. This is illustrated by inflation targeting through the nominal fixed (exchange rate) through the foreign currency sale window , and the reason for using the exchange rate as a nominal constant is due to the financial shallowness suffered by the Iraqi economy and the separation of monetary behavior from the real behavior in the economy, as well as the absence of focus on a direction to the potential output (the level of natural unemployment rate), which led to the weakness of the impact of the Iraqi central tools in macroeconomic variables without monetary variables, and the research reached the effectiveness of the exchange rate channel without other channels to transmit the impact of monetary policy to the macroeconomic variables in Iraq, and this is what made the monetary authority stick to a policy The window of selling foreign currency for its ability to control liquidity levels and sterilize the economy from the undisciplined economic policies of the macroeconomic management partners in Iraq.            

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

The research aims to show the role of resource consumption accounting in the process of rationalizing the distribution of costs of productive service centers in economic units as one of the most important approach that help to provide relevant information on how to optimize the exploitation of resources and corresponding activities which leads to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of performance as a result of reducing costs, which is reflected in the increase in profits, as well as showing the volume of unemployed energy and working to employ it through the production of useful costly information that helps it face developments in the business environmentThis is reflected in the rationalization of decisions made by economic units. The problem is that the methods used in the distribution of the costs of production service centers by local units suffer from shortcomings in this area because they rely on traditional methods in the distribution of the costs of these centers, which results in distortion in the information provided to determine the cost of products.This led to its failure to provide information that helps management make decisions and that using RCA helps economic units keep pace with developments in the business environment. Assists them in making and making decisions that are in the company's interest, such as a resource consumption accounting system that focuses on providing reliable information to rationalize costs and maximize revenues to enhance the company's productive capacity. For the company where it aims to achieve greater success in the competition market, as well as it is based on resources, and is focused on them instead of activities and includes resources in accounting for the consumption of resources consumed by activities only, but includes resources consumed by the resources themselves. In light of these conclusions, a set of recommendations was reached, the most important of which is to help the application of modern management accounting systems that keep pace with the developments of the business environment and provide adequate and appropriate information to economic units.Keywords: accounting for resource consumption, exploitation of idle energy, cost reduction.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of accounting in improving the financial performance of both public and private institutions, focusing on how modern accounting tools such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and cloud-based accounting software can enhance financial efficiency and increase transparency. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, using surveys to collect data from accountants and financial managers within various institutions. Financial performance was assessed using key financial indicators such as Return on Investment (ROI), Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity ratios, and profitability ratios. Additionally, the research analyzes the economic and regulatory challenges institutions face in implementing modern accounting systems and the impact these challenges have on the accuracy of financial reporting. The findings indicate that the use of modern accounting systems significantly improves financial efficiency by accelerating the process of data collection and analysis, thus enabling more accurate strategic decision-making. The results also reveal that institutions face economic and regulatory challenges, such as changes in laws and regulations, which affect the effectiveness of accounting systems.

The research concludes that adopting modern accounting systems positively impacts financial performance but requires a flexible environment to adapt to economic and regulatory challenges.

Abstract

The role played by the internal audit in any service establishment or profitability is an important focus in the work of that establishment because it is considered the safety valve and controls the extent of the commitment of the economic unit of the instructions in force in its operational and the extent of its commitment to accounting systems and financial reports, which will reflect on the efficiency and effectiveness of those The economic unit in its stand to try to exploit its work in the administrative and financial corruption, which is one of the serious factors that destroy the work of that establishment internally and externally.
In this research, which undermined the role of internal auditing in the process of reducing the administrative and financial corruption in the General Authority for Taxation through the knowledge of the duties assigned to the internal audit and the need to comply with the instructions issued by the General Authority for Taxes because any violation of these instructions may be a door of administrative and financial corruption Which requires that the internal auditor has an important role in standing against any attempt that may be exploited to exercise administrative and financial corruption in his obligation and instructions and to inform the administration of any violation in the tax work .

Abstract

This study aims to develop a therapeutic model to combat administrative and financial corruption, grounded in the principles of accountability, transparency, and the prevention of misuse of administrative authority. It also seeks to identify the key obstacles hindering anti-corruption efforts and propose viable solutions to overcome them.

    Corruption is one of the most dangerous global phenomena threatening the security, stability, and prosperity of nations and societies. It has become a persistent challenge, especially in Iraq, where corruption has infiltrated most public institutions, contributing significantly to the disruption of economic development, progress, and institutional reform.

    In recent years, corruption has exacerbated rates of unemployment and poverty and intensified social, economic, security, intellectual, and political crises. Its danger lies in its ability to spread like a "dormant virus" that activates when it finds a supportive social environment. Since April 9, 2003, Iraq has witnessed an unprecedented wave of corruption, prompting the state to adopt public policies—primarily theoretical in nature—to address this phenomenon and preserve the state's integrity at both domestic and international levels.

    While numerous legislative, executive, and oversight measures have been undertaken—across media, economic, security, and social domains—they often lack a comprehensive, actionable model to eradicate corruption from its roots.

Accordingly, this study proposes a therapeutic model based on accountability and transparency to safeguard citizens’ rights, promote justice, enhance security, and reinforce governance structures. The model responds to growing calls—from religious, social, educational, economic, and media entities—to instill a culture of integrity, strengthen anti-corruption frameworks, and intensify the recovery of stolen public funds. Legislative frameworks have evolved to address corruption in its multiple dimensions—security-related, psychological, economic, media-related, and social—while states have employed various strategies, such as enhanced accountability, participatory governance, transparency improvements, and comprehensive reform initiatives.

At the local level, corruption results in misallocation of resources, wastage of public funds, inefficiency in public services, weakened local development potential, poor planning, a deteriorated investment climate, and low economic growth.

To ensure the effectiveness of this proposed model, the outcomes of relevant research and studies must be adopted and integrated into a comprehensive and actionable anti-corruption roadmap. This includes clearly defining the roles, responsibilities, and powers of all concerned institutions to achieve legislative and procedural coherence

Abstract

The problem of the study stems from the fact that the relationship, whether effect or causation, is not fixed between fiscal policy and economic performance variables, including economic growth and unemployment, as it differs from one country to another, and from time to another time depending on the nature of the economies under study, The study aims to verify empirically about the impact of fiscal policy tools on economic growth and unemployment with determining the direction of the causal relationship of these variables in Jordan for the period (1990-2021). The study used models (Cointegration) for the long-term relationship and vector error correction models (VECM) for the short-term relationship and (Granger) test for the causal relationship. the study concluded that the effect of government consumption spending is negative on economic growth and unemployment, and there is no effect of government investment spending on either economic growth or unemployment, with a causal relationship from government spending, especially consumption, to both economic growth and unemployment, as it found That taxes have a positive effect on economic growth and do not affect unemployment with a causal relationship from taxes to economic growth and unemployment, while the causal relationship was from taxes on income to economic growth and from customs taxes and foreign trade to unemployment, while the causal trend was from economic growth to taxes customs duties and to taxes on foreign trade, these results support the neoclassical point of view in terms of the relationship of influence and support Keynesian law at the expense of Wagner's law regarding causation. As for public debt, its impact was negative on economic growth and positive on unemployment, and the direction of the causal relationship was from debt to economic growth only.
