Abstract
This study aimed to identify the role of using the ESG sustainability indicators in enhancing the quality of reporting in economic units, what are the determinants that hinder ESG reporting, and what are the effects of ESG reporting. The deductive approach was used to clarify the triple concept of sustainability, as well as the quality of reporting and the use of the inductive approach in the exploratory study was formulated to verify the research hypotheses with two axes. The first axis measures the effects of the quality of triple sustainability reporting, and the other axis is about the determinants of the quality of triple sustainability reporting. A survey was conducted from the research sample and it was concluded that triple sustainability reporting has a good impact on the markets and is Among the news that the markets interact with, as for the determinants, it was found that there is a legislative and regulatory deficiency in the Iraqi environment for reporting on ESG.
Abstract
The study aims to identify the conceptual framework of sustainable accounting and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in enhancing corporate reporting. Furthermore, it demonstrates the impact of adopting sustainability accounting on the financial reporting of a sample of five companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange from the year (2019) to the year (2022). The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach using the SPSS program. The main findings reveal the absence of a statistically significant relationship regarding the influence of disclosure in financial reports to apply sustainability standards on investors' decisions, as well as the absence of a significant relationship between the impact of sustainability accounting and the quality of financial reports. Integrating AI tools—such as machine learning and automated ESG analytics—can bridge these gaps by improving data accuracy, reducing reporting bias, and enhancing transparency. The study recommended a set of recommendations, the most important of which is obligating auditors specialized in the profession of auditing companies not to express an opinion on the validity of financial reports if they are devoid of sustainability accounting reports and supported AI-driven disclosure metrics.
Abstract
This research aims to test the relationship and impact between green finance strategies (environmental, social, economic, governance, and compliance) and the management of climate change risks (physical, liability, and transition). The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach to achieve its objectives. It analyzed the reality of three private Iraqi banks: the National Bank of Iraq, the International Development Bank, and the Bank of Baghdad. To collect the necessary data, a field questionnaire was distributed to a sample consisting of managers, department heads, employees, and others working in private banks in Iraq. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed, 50 for each bank, and 124 valid responses were retrieved for statistical analysis. The researcher used the SPSS program to analyze the statistical data, test the hypotheses, and measure the relationships between the variables. The study also referred to the Egyptian experience as a model for implementing green finance strategies and addressing climate change. The research focused on two main hypotheses: the first assumes a significant correlation between green finance strategies and climate change risks across the various dimensions such as environmental, social, economic, governance, and compliance. The second hypothesis assumes that green finance strategies have a statistically significant impact on the management of climate change risks at both the main and sub-variable levels. The importance of the research lies in introducing and deepening the understanding of green finance and climate change issues, and in analyzing the extent to which green finance contributes to addressing climate-related risks. The results of the analysis confirmed the validity of all hypotheses, revealing statistically significant relationships between the strategies (environmental, social, economic, governance) and the three types of climate risks (physical, liability, and transition), which confirms the growing awareness of the importance of green finance.
