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 research aims to explore the importance of financial analysis and its contribution to enhancing environmental performance evaluation by utilizing financial ratios in financial analysis and addressing environmental issues to improve and maintain the environment and performance of government units. The research problem centres on the negative impact of neglecting financial analysis of financial statements and the financial information they contain regarding environmental performance on making appropriate decisions in performance evaluation.

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.
