Abstract
This study aims to examine the impact of auditors’ digital readiness on smart auditing practices within the Iraqi General Customs Authority in light of the ongoing digital transformation requirements in the public sector. A quantitative approach was employed using a cross-sectional research design. Data were collected from 132 employees, of which 121 valid questionnaires were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS v4. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of auditors’ digital readiness on smart auditing (β = 0.742, p < 0.001), with an explanatory power of (R² = 0.551). The results further indicate that digital innovativeness and digital optimism represent the strongest positive predictors of smart auditing practices, whereas technology discomfort and digital insecurity exert significant negative effects. The study concludes that strengthening auditors’ digital and behavioral competencies constitutes a fundamental pillar for the successful implementation of smart auditing. Accordingly, it recommends the adoption of specialized training programs and sustained organizational support to enhance digital readiness within supervisory and regulatory institutions.

Abstract
This study examines the role of university 0.4—a conceptual framework integrating technology, accessibility, and inclusive policies—in upholding the right to education at Al-Mustaqbal Private University, the research assesses how digital transformation, adaptive learning systems, and institutional policies contribute to equitable access, quality education, and student success. Data was collected via surveys (N=73 faculty), interviews with administrators, and analysis of academic performance metrics. Findings suggest that University 0.4 initiatives, such as virtual classrooms, AI-driven support tools, and financial aid programs, significantly reduce barriers for marginalized groups, including low-income and disabled students. However, challenges like digital literacy gaps and infrastructure limitations persist. The study concludes with recommendations for scaling University 0.4 innovations to align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and national educational rights frameworks.
Abstract
The research This research aims to demonstrate the importance of financial statements, the determinants of their effectiveness, and their relationship to administrative decisions. The General Authority for Taxes and the General Authority of Customs, both affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, are obligated to implement tax laws. Furthermore, a Tax Policy Department was established within the Economic Department of the Iraqi Ministry of Finance in 2005. This department is responsible for drafting tax laws and developing tax strategy in Iraq. Consequently, decision-makers, assessors, and auditors within the General Authority for Taxes are required to possess professional qualifications and skills that enable them to examine financial data at a high level, particularly data prepared according to International Accounting Standards. They are also responsible for providing electronic software to facilitate administrative decisions aimed at achieving fairness in the distribution of the tax burden, saving time, and enhancing trust between taxpayers and the tax authority. This has made administrative assessment the foundation of the practical application of tax accounting. The research successfully addresses two key questions: First, do financial statements encourage or discourage administrative decision-making? The second question is whether the Iraqi legislator succeeded in achieving a balance between the interests of the state, society, and taxpayers through the tax system. The methodology used in this research was deductive, employing a descriptive approach to analyze financial reports (2021-2023) and an inductive approach using econometric analysis to refute the initial hypothesis: (There is no relationship between financial statements and administrative decisions). This was demonstrated by the results of the assessment memoranda, which showed that the relationship between financial statements and administrative decisions is interconnected, representing a part-whole relationship, as they constitute a significant financial resource and their proportion in the state's public revenues has increased.
