Abstract

Developing countries in general and Arab countries in particular suffer from high population growth, and that these population increases exert a great influence and pressure on the available economic and financial resources, This leads to imbalances in the structure of society, which may be accompanied by a kind of inequality and demolition in the value system of those societies, if it is not accompanied by an increase in investment and employment and the creation of new incomes that are redistributed in a way that reduces social differences, increases the domestic product and then economic growth . The study aims to measure the effect of the relationship between population growth and economic growth by using the (ARDL) model. The study concluded that the effect of population growth is positive on economic growth during the study period. The study recommends giving attention to the labor force and employing it in the production process in a way that reduces societal disparities and enhances economic growth.

Abstract

The research aims to test the effect of the foreign direct investment rate, inflation rate, government spending rate, population growth, GDP growth, the degree of trade openness, and the corruption risk index on the youth unemployment rate in African countries. Although youth unemployment rates in African countries are not among the highest rates in the world, it remains a problem that requires serious consideration in addressing it as it is considered a major factor in political instability. The research adopted the method of multiple linear regression and panel data for the period 1990-2019 for sixteen African countries for which the required data for the research were available: Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda, Niger, Senegal, Mozambique, Nigeria, Central Africa, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Kenya Angola, Cameroon. It was concluded that foreign direct investment ratio was negatively affects the youth unemployment rate. While the effect of government spending, population growth and corruption risk index (decreased risk of corruption) was positive. No significant effect of economic growth, inflation rate, and trade openness has been demonstrated on the youth unemployment rate in African countries.

Abstract

The research includes both theoretical and practical aspects. The study aims to analyze and measure the relationship between public spending (the approved variable) and the explanatory variables in Malaysia during the time period (1990-2020) by using the Autoregressive Distributed Time Gaps (ARDL) methodology using Time Series Data during the study period. In order to achieve this goal, the theoretical aspect of public spending and its components and limits of public spending was shortened, with the presentation of the economic effects of government spending. In addition to clarifying the relationship between economic variables and public spending in Malaysia, then presenting and analyzing the results of quantitative measurement. The research reached many results, the most prominent of which was the existence of a positive significant relationship between government spending and the variables of total fixed capital formation, public debt and population. And a significant inverse relationship between the dependent variable government spending and GDP growth. As a result of these results that emerged from the standard analysis of the model, it is worthwhile for the study country to adopt ways and methods to reduce government spending rates within the limits of public revenues available to each country. The research aims to analyze the impact of macroeconomic variables on government spending, as well as to evaluate the behavior of government spending in Malaysia.

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 issues of combating poverty and sustainable development are among the most prominent challenges facing both developing and developed societies. Despite the efforts made by governments and international organizations, poverty still directly affects many countries, calling for the adoption of effective investment policies that improve economic and social conditions. Investment in combating poverty includes financial resources allocated to programs and policies aimed at improving the living standards of individuals in poor communities. This includes investments by governments and international organizations in sectors such as education, health, clean water, social finance, and job opportunities. Investing in combating poverty and achieving sustainable development is a long-term process that requires strong commitment from governments, international institutions, and civil society organizations alike. Investment in this area represents a cornerstone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are not limited to improving economic conditions but also extend to promoting social justice and reducing development gaps between different segments of society. The research addresses seizing investment opportunities in Babil Governorate for the period 2021-2024 across all governorate projects. Among the most important conclusions of the research is the need to increase investment in infrastructure and local labor, as well as investment in projects targeting the poorest segments of the governorate's population. The most important finding of the research is the significant impact of investment opportunities in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of the governorate's residents. This contributes to achieving sustainable development for Babil Governorate in particular and Iraq in general.

Abstract

The disparity in employee salaries across different ministries and departments raises questions, discomfort, and feelings of injustice, especially among employees with lower salaries in some ministries compared to their higher-paid counterparts in other ministries. These reasons stem from social factors, followed by economic factors. The prices of goods and services are determined by the size of the employee group with higher salaries, especially if a large group raises the prices of goods and services through their greater purchasing power. Consequently, it becomes difficult for employees with lower salaries to live comfortably, creating economic and social disparities among employee groups. This, in turn, impacts economic and social development. All these reasons prompted me to give great importance to writing this vital and important research, as I focused on analyzing several important indicators, most notably the cost of living index, which measures the minimum cost of living in Iraq, which helps us in formulating a minimum wage policy, and the private sector wage value levels index, which shows the minimum and maximum limits of private sector employee wages according to a labor market survey in the private sector in Iraq, where I concluded that one of the most important factors for labor market stability is the convergence of wages between employees in the private and public sectors, which ends the prevailing reality of the preference of wages for employees in the public sector over their counterparts in the private sector, and we reach a stage of equal demand as much as possible for job opportunities in the two sectors. The index of the total ratio of public sector employees’ salaries to revenues, which shows the high and dangerous percentage that salaries constitute of the country’s total revenues, which must be reduced and controlled, and the index of the ratio of the number of beneficiaries of public sector salaries to the population and labor force, which also constitutes a high percentage, most notably the increase in the number of new appointments that have plunged the country into a state of disguised unemployment and the inclusion of new categories in social welfare salaries, which has burdened the government and forced it to withdraw from the investment budget. In addition to the operating budget for these salaries, the average employee share of the total public sector payroll index (AEI) represents the average salary that should be taken into account when constructing the public sector salary scale. Analyzing these indicators leads us to an important point of convergence that enables us to formulate a clear policy for building a fair and balanced salary system and scale.

Abstract

The paper aimed to measure the impact of total banking risks and indicate the extent of their impact on economic stability for the period 2004-2021 using the bounds test. Two independent variables were identified to represent banking risks, namely (the ratio of non-performing loans to the total loans, the ratio of non-performing loans to the total capital), as well as Choosing some macroeconomic stability indicators as dependent variables: (bank capital, inflation, net trade balance ratio, net budget ratio, foreign reserves, banking concentration, standard of living). By increasing inflation rates, there is a negative impact of non-performing loans on the total loans and banking spread, as the high default rate of loans leads to a decline in the rate of banking prevalence, and there is a negative impact of non-performing loans on the total loans on the standard of living, as the high default rate of loans leads to To a decline in the average standard of living as a result of not granting loans to the population, and the research recommended that a study of the case of borrowers be considered before granting credit in order to reduce the default rate in loans by providing some guarantees to the banker, the need to use the indicator of the ratio of non-performing loans to total capital as one of the risks Banking that has an impact on the financial soundness of the bank, through what the sum of non-performing loans represents to the capital owned by the bank, and thus gives a clear vision of the capital owned by the bank

Abstract

The research aims to highlight the role of lean manufacturing principles in enhancing the requirements of green manufacturing at Al- Karwanchi Company for beverages, healthy water, juices, dairy products, and energy drinks. The research problem lies in the company's lack of attention to recycling its products, despite using raw recyclable materials, leading to increased waste accumulation and environmental and health issues. This situation negatively impacts the environment and increases the costs of waste disposal and non-biodegradable materials.

To address this, adopting lean manufacturing principles becomes essential, as they focus on reducing waste and improving production efficiency to meet green manufacturing requirements. A questionnaire was designed for data collection and distributed to a sample of employees in the company, with 242 questionnaires collected from a population of 548 individuals. Data analysis was conducted using statistical software (SPSS V.26 - AMOS V.24).

The results supported the research hypotheses and confirmed the positive objectives and validity of the research model, revealing a direct impact of the independent variable (lean manufacturing) through its principles (both collectively and individually) on the dependent variable (green manufacturing) in terms of its requirements (collectively).

Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, the most important of which is that institutions should consider transitioning to a circular economy, where materials and waste are reused in the production process. This approach will help reduce environmental impacts and achieve greater resource sustainability.

Abstract

The research aimed to identify the role of governance in selecting appropriate accounting policies for companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange in Sudan. This was achieved by exploring the possibility of finding a statistically significant relationship between audit committees and the selection of alternative accounting policies for companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange, the possibility of finding a statistically significant relationship between internal audit information and the selection of accounting policies for economic companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange, and the possibility of finding a statistically significant relationship between external auditor reports and the selection of alternative accounting policies for companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange. The research followed a descriptive-analytical approach, and a sample was distributed to the study population, which consisted of companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange. The sample was selected from individuals in a manner appropriate to their job titles. The researcher distributed (55) questionnaires to the target group, and (50) individuals responded, meaning that the questionnaire was returned at a rate of (90%). The data collected from the questionnaire was then analyzed. After the study and analysis, the research concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between audit committees and the selection of alternative accounting policies for companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange, through the presence of a committee to review accounting policies and principles. The study, conducted in companies with the board of directors, focuses on selecting appropriate accounting policies for financial reporting and discussing with management how to choose accounting estimates. It also examines the statistically significant relationship between internal audit information and the selection of alternative accounting policies for companies listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange. This is achieved through the contribution of internal audit information to governance, enhancing credibility and fairness for companies, and reducing the risks of administrative and financial corruption. The research recommends that companies and institutions increase their focus on the concept of governance and work to adopt and develop it to contribute to improving the financial and administrative performance of emerging, developing, and established companies.

Abstract

In the modern digital landscape, a growing number of consumers are actively avoiding traditional advertising channels. This trend is driven by factors such as information overload, advertising fatigue, and increasing concerns over data privacy. As a result, marketers face significant challenges in reaching and engaging these ad-avoidant consumers, necessitating the development of new strategies that align with consumer preferences while remaining effective. The proliferation of digital media has empowered consumers to control their exposure to advertisements more than ever before. This control has led to a rise in ad avoidance, where consumers actively seek to minimize or eliminate their interactions with traditional advertising methods. This study addresses the challenge of identifying effective marketing strategies that can engage these ad-avoidant consumers without compromising ethical standards or violating their privacy. The central research problem is to explore and identify effective marketing strategies that resonate with consumers who avoid traditional advertising. The research aims to uncover methods that not only reach but also engage this segment of the population in a way that respects their preferences and upholds ethical marketing practices. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative case studies. Quantitative surveys provide insights into the behaviors and motivations of ad-avoidant consumers, while qualitative case studies analyze successful marketing campaigns that have effectively engaged this audience. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review on digital marketing trends and consumer behavior is conducted to inform the research. Results: 1. Value-Driven Content: Content marketing strategies that offer genuine value, such as educational or entertaining content, are more effective in engaging ad-avoidant consumers compared to traditional advertising methods.2. Personalization: Personalized, data-driven marketing approaches that tailor messages to individual consumer preferences lead to higher engagement rates among ad-avoidant individuals.3. Transparency and Trust: Consumers who avoid traditional ads are more likely to engage with brands that prioritize transparency and clearly communicate how their data is used, reinforcing trust and loyalty. Recommendations: 1. Focus on Content Marketing: Businesses should invest in creating high-quality, value-driven content that resonates with consumers, as this approach is more likely to engage ad-avoidant individuals.2. Enhance Personalization: Marketers should leverage data to create personalized experiences, ensuring that marketing messages are relevant and respectful of consumer preferences, which increases the likelihood of engagement.

Abstract

Debt structure is a crucial focal point in banking sector performance, as the distribution of debt between short-term and long-term affects financial risks and the market value of banks. Within the Iraqi economic environment undergoing structural transformations, analysing this impact emerges as a strategic tool to enhance banking stability and attract investments. This study provides an in-depth analytical perspective on the impact of debt structure dimensions (short-term, long-term, and total) on the performance of Iraqi commercial banks, based on comprehensive field data and advanced statistical models, to offer actionable recommendations. This study aimed to analyse the impact of debt structure dimensions (short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debt) on the market value of Iraqi commercial banks. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach. The study population comprised (366) individuals from top, middle, and executive management levels, utilizing a comprehensive survey method. A set of statistical tools was employed, including (percentages, frequencies, arithmetic means, standard deviations, factor loadings, and impact analysis), relying on the (SmartPLS.4) program for structural equation modelling. The results revealed a high level of the overall performance indicator for both debt structure and market value. Furthermore, they demonstrated a statistically significant impact of all debt structure dimensions on the market value of the banking sector under study. In light of the findings, the study recommended developing programs to issue medium/long-term bonds in partnership with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), allocating at least 20% of the credit portfolio to this type of financing to support infrastructure projects with stable returns.

Abstract

 The problem of the housing sector is considered one of the most important problems that the Iraqi society has suffered from since the fifties of the last century, for several reasons, such as the large and rapid population increase that occurred in recent decades, and the accompanying large-scale migration from rural areas to city centers, and reasons related to the political, economic and security conditions.  In addition to the weakness of the financing system due to weak financing policies supporting housing, as the crisis increased due to the growing housing need, which is estimated at about (3) million housing units, so the Central Bank pursued an unconventional monetary policy to activate the real economic sectors, including the housing sector, in order to alleviate the severity of the crisis  housing in Iraq, and the Real Estate Bank has played a major role in providing real estate loans and alleviating the housing crisis under the initiative of the Central Bank of Iraq.

Abstract

This study highlights the vital role played by electronic banking in enhancing financial inclusion in Iraq, considering the challenges facing the financial sector—particularly the limited integration of large segments of the population into the formal banking system. The study is based on a problem concerning the limited role of electronic banking in expanding financial inclusion and seeks to evaluate its actual contribution in this field.

The study aims to diagnose the current state of electronic banking in Iraqi banks, determine the extent of the spread and usage of the services provided among the public, and measure the impact of these services on financial inclusion indicators—such as increasing the number of bank accounts and facilitating access to credit and other financial services. It also reviews the challenges hindering the spread of electronic banking, whether related to infrastructure, the regulatory framework, or the lack of awareness and trust among users.

The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on official data issued by the central bank and commercial banks, in addition to an inductive approach that traces the relationship between the development of electronic banking and financial inclusion indicators. Despite the persistence of some geographical and social gaps, the study recommends the need to develop digital infrastructure, enhance financial literacy, and update regulatory frameworks to keep pace with the digital transformation of banking in Iraq.

Abstract

The research aims to shed light on the most important sectors of the green economy and their contribution to carbon emissions in Indonesia by presenting some concepts about the indicators of the green economy and agricultural sectors and their role in carbon emissions, and the importance and nature of the relationship between them, and in a presentation of the problematic of the study in light of the changes that the world is experiencing now from the depletion of resources The natural increase in the amount of emissions, the increase in population rates and the need to secure food, agriculture is one of the most important entrances to the green economy, where sustainability in agriculture is achieved through three main pillars: the first is to consider achieving economic performance or profitability by considering agricultural activity as an investment, and the second is to create And the creation of new social systems through agricultural projects, the employment and development of people participating, and the third in the environmental dimension through preserving the environment and biodiversity and reducing carbon emissions. Fixed capital in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, which led to an increase in the amount of emissions, but by a small percentage, as every 1% increase in per capita renewable energy consumption reduces carbon dioxide emissions per capita by 0.07%, while every 1% increase in per capita non-renewable energy increases Carbon dioxide emissions per capita by 0.52% in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, and green variables (revenues of forest resources, value added for each factor in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and consumption of renewable energy) were associated with an inverse relationship with carbon emissions in Indonesia. , that is, the increased use of these variables above reduced the percentage of carbon emissions, which achieves the hypothesis that the green economy positively affects the dimensions of sustainable development

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effect of using a sustainable balanced scorecard in the relationship between strategic cost management methods and strategic performance of Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies by shedding light on the most important modern administrative and accounting techniques used by advanced industrial companies in managing their costs and following up on the implementation of necessary corrective and preventive measures to enhance areas of strength and address areas of weakness in their strategic performance. The study population consisted of all employees in Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was developed and distributed to (205) individuals working in Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies. (158) questionnaires were retrieved, of which (146) were valid for analysis. To test the hypotheses, Structural Equation Model (PLS- SEM).

The study found that there is an effect of using a sustainable balanced scorecard in the relationship between total quality management method and strategic performance of Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies. However, the results of the study indicated no effect of using a sustainable balanced scorecard in the relationship between other strategic cost management methods (Target costing method, comparative measurement method) and the strategic performance of Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies. Based on the results of this study, the researchers reached several recommendations, The most important was: the necessity of Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies to enhance the implementation of strategic cost management methods, especially the target costing method, due to its positive effect on the use of a sustainable balanced scorecard. Moreover, it is essential to reconsider the application of comparative measurement method and work on its enhancement to be more effective in supporting the use of a sustainable balanced scorecard and improving strategic performance

Through this research, the aim is to answer a number of questions that accompany the research problem of defining the concept of water security, as well as to show the extent of the effects of water security on sustainable agricultural development in Iraq for the period (2004-2022), as well as identifying water security challenges, as well as identifying alternatives to water security supplies to create sustainable agricultural development in Iraq, given the information available today.

In this research, the researcher relied on the extrapolation process mainly, which is based on observing the effects of water security on sustainable agricultural development in Iraq for the period (2004-2022), and then there may be another scientific approach that we will resort to in the course of our treatment of the issue, which is the analytical method while following some standard procedures to understand the nature of the data and variables that affect the crisis.

Among the most prominent results of the research: German revenues received to Iraq fluctuated from the year (2004-2022), falling below (30 billion m3) in dry years, as the results showed that agricultural activity ranked first in the process of consumption of German resources, which affects and is affected by water security, at the same time, the contribution of this activity to the pollution of surface waters due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the various solid and liquid agricultural waste poses on the German Environment, and then sustainable agricultural development is significantly affected by its agricultural results, and the results surface degradation of its quality as a result of storage and causes contaminated water discharged from In general, the water crisis in Iraq was not largely a problem of shortage or scarcity of available resources, nor accelerated population growth or a deficit in financial capabilities, but it is primarily a matter of failure and imbalance in agricultural policies and misuse of the human factor of the available resources in the region with the absence of political will and seriousness in action, and we have noted through this research that food production and achieving an increase in it is dependent on Water Resources, which is a determining factor in achieving both sustainable agricultural development and water security, and that the use of Water Resources in the Iraqi agricultural sector may also To some extent, it failed to rid the state budget of import restrictions and burdens, as access to food for the Iraqi citizen is still dependent on what the West ships, especially with regard to strategic foods such as cereals, which means poor efficiency of use of Water Resources in sustainable agricultural development.

The study recommended: In the absence of water security policies and strategies that regulate the management of the water sector, it is imperative to develop policies and action programs for the integrated management of water resources, as well as protecting water sources from pollution, which requires the activation of laws and legislations for water conservation and the construction of sewage and industrial water treatment plants to ensure the protection of German resources, as well as expanding the use of modern irrigation techniques such as spray and drip irrigation, redirecting water paths and distribution channels, lining irrigation channels and using pipes and automatic control gates to transport and distribute water, as well as Therefore, it is important to study and address this issue through the development of a comprehensive drought strategy in the long term in coordination with local, national and regional levels, and finally the development of national and regional plans to rationalize water uses, including the search for new resources and the study of the economics of their use and protection.

Abstract

This study primarily aims to investigate the effect of strategic control on achieving advanced levels of strategic success, with a focus on exploring the degree of strategic control implementation in the Jordanian banking sector. Furthermore, this study intends to provide a comprehensive vision encompassing the key factors that contribute to achieving strategic objectives, in order to address the emerging challenges in the banking business environment. The study population consisted of all Jordanian commercial banks registered with the Association of Banks in Jordan, numbering (12) banks for the year 2025. To achieve the study objectives, data were collected using a questionnaire specifically designed for this purpose. A total of (244) questionnaires were distributed to employees in Jordanian commercial banks, including both general staff and senior management personnel such as managers, deputy managers, assistant managers, and department heads. Of these, (191) questionnaires were returned, with (184) deemed valid for analysis. For the purpose of data analysis and hypothesis testing, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS.V.23) was utilized.

This study concluded with several key findings, the most important of which was the presence of a positive and significant effect of strategic control on achieving strategic success in Jordanian commercial banks. Additionally, the study results demonstrated a high degree of strategic control implementation in Jordanian commercial banks from the perspective of their employees.

      Based on these findings, the study recommends that the relevant departments in Jordanian commercial banks prioritize strategic control as an essential tool for predicting risks and identifying improvement opportunities by enhancing internal and external monitoring mechanisms to ensure long-term performance sustainability and strategic success.
