Digital accounting and its role in improving the impact of audit quality on financial integrity of Saudi Arabia SMEs Abubkr Abdelraheem, Asmaa Mahdi Al-Hashimi International Journal of Data and Network Science, 2026 This study develops and empirically tests a conceptual model that positions audit quality (AQ) as a direct driver of the financial integrity (PFI) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia and examines digital accounting (DA) as a mediating variable. Based on agency theory, signaling theory, and a resource-based firm perspective, we hypothesize that (i) higher audit quality improves PFI; (ii) reliance on DA enhances audit effectiveness; and (iii) the relationship between audit quality and an enterprise's financial integrity is partially mediated by DA. Using a multi-stage survey of 180 SMEs managers, auditors, and finance officers in Saudi Arabia SMEs, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypotheses. The results confirm a strong positive effect of application quality on PFI and reveal an indirect effect of DA. The findings underscore that digital accounting not only automates bookkeeping processes but also reshapes the audit process, enhancing the quality of audit evidence, enabling real-time monitoring, and focusing on risk. This study contributes theoretically to clarifying the complex interaction between audit quality, financial integrity, particularly in light of the rapid digital transformation of emerging markets. Practically, it offers valuable insights for Saudi policymakers, SMEs managers, and financial auditors on how to leverage audit quality and digital accounting in ensuring financial soundness and the successful implementation of Vision 2030 projects.
Reporting the Repercussions of Covid_19 on Economic Units in Accordance with the International Accounting Standard 8 Ahmed Zuhair Jader, Asmaa Mahdi Al-Hashemi, Hawri Mohammad Salih Taha Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024 The aim of this research is to clarify the repercussions of the (Covid_19) pandemic on the global and local economy, to identify some of the crises that had repercussions on the economy in general, with more focus on the Iraqi economy and reporting on it. The descriptive approach was used for the theoretical side by making use of relevant research and studies, and the inductive and deductive approach for the practical side by analyzing some items in the financial statements of the Iraqi Investment Bank, the research sample, and then suggesting solutions to help with the possibility of switching between international standards, which helps the administration to face crises and ensures the continuity of the unit. The research concluded that there is a discrepancy in the repercussions of the epidemic on the economy at various levels, by analyzing the items of debtors and the item of inventory in the Iraqi market. The most important recommendation was for management to report on the Covid_19 pandemic or similar events in accordance with IAS 8, which serves as a guide to management when applying any of the reporting standards to faithfully represent economic reality.
The Importance of Throughput-Based Costing Estimation in Achieving the Competitive Capability of the Cement Industry in Iraq: Case Study Using SWOT Analysis Ameer Al-Ardawe, Asmaa Al-Hashimi, Ahmed M. Mohammad Ali Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024 Within goal 12 of Sustainable Development "Responsible consumption and production" the objective of this work is determining the competitiveness based on a SWOT analysis for the purpose of efficiently using the available resources through throughput-based costing to manage the costs of the Iraqi cement industry companies as an alternative to the traditional total cost method used in it, which does not provide the information required to make the right decisions. The research used the applied case study method based on production and costs data for the year 2018 of Karbala cement plant as it is a modern plant and seeks to achieve efficiency and effectiveness in the use of its resources. The main findings of the research were the adopting the Throughput-Based Costing method provide production requirements and product planning and design and compare them with competing products to reach the strategy of exploiting competitive capacity at the lowest cost.
Using sustainable intellectual capital to enhancing financial reporting of public sector companies in Iraq: An applied comparative study between Karbala and Kufa cement factories Ahmed Hatif Rasool, Asmaa Mahdi Al-Hashimi Aip Conference Proceedings, 2023 The study aims to introduce the concept, and main dimensions to sustain the Intellectual Capital, indicating the availability of the reporting requirements of Sustainable Intellectual Capital in the study sample's company, which is the Karbala And Kufa factories from the Iraqi general cement Company. So, the study states the current level of the financial reporting and the reasons for its failure to meet the decision-makers need for information, as the accounting treatments within the unified accounting system that are mandatory to be applied by Iraqi companies do not include the various aspects of integrated financial reporting, which should include sustainability indicators, including the sustainability of human resources, which represent the intellectual capital of the company, and therefore the traditional financial reports prepared by Iraqi companies lack requirements of transparency and the quality of financial reporting, as it does not reflect efficiency indicators and the skilled workforce it possesses. In order to achieve the study goal, the researchers reviewed the theoretical literature and previous studies about the study variables, then an analysis of the content of the financial reports of the study sample was conducted to provide a proposed form for voluntary reporting about the sustainability of intellectual capital according to what suits the requirements of the Iraqi environment, so that is generally accepted by the public and private companies by shows its impact on rationalizing the strategic decisions that relate to the study sample's company, through use Schmalenbach Indicators to measure the level of reporting in the proposed form. The study concluded that the integration of financial information related to economic activities with other financial and non-financial information about sustainable development dimensions including sustainable intellectual capital and disclosing it through voluntary reporting forms enables users to link between that information and then enables them to evaluate performance and know the ability of the study sample company for create sustainable value and then rationalize strategic decisions. Accordingly, the researchers recommended that Iraqi industrial companies should adopt voluntary reporting models for intellectual capital that include financial and non-financial dimensions related to the sustainability of their human resources and to the accumulation of knowledge about value chain relationships with customers and suppliers outside the company.
Towards corporate sustainability: Cost-benefit considerations of quantitative methods (multiple regression model) versus activity-based methods for determining indirect costs - An applied study in KDD industrial company Asmaa Mahdi Al-Hashimi, Hussam Ali Abdel-Sada Al-Ghazali Aip Conference Proceedings, 2023 The study aims in light of the goals of corporate sustainability to compare the costs and benefits of using different methods to determine costs; namely, the quantitative methods (multiple regression in particular) versus the activity-based costing (ABC) methods for assigning indirect costs on products in Iraqi companies as they still depend on traditional cost systems that face difficulties in computing accurate unit costs due to the failure to determine the appropriate amount of indirect costs. In order to achieve the study goal, the researchers reviewed the theoretical literature and previous studies to compare these methods and identify the advantages and disadvantages of each. The researchers also adopted the applied approach to compare these two methods based on the monthly costs data of the KDD production company to distribute costs according to both the activity-based method and the multiple regression. The study concluded that the design and implementation of the ABC method to determine costs requires lengthy and more expensive steps, especially in Iraqi companies that lack an integrated cost system, which requires additional costs to train employees and decision-makers to understand the steps of the system and its outputs and how to use them in the decision-making process in light of achieving Sustainability goals that require focusing on customer needs and product profitability rather than activities. On the other hand, the multiple regression method was easy to apply and inexpensive. Its results were more related to the products and the variables affecting them, thus it's more understanding for managers and helps in rationalizing decisions. Accordingly, the researchers recommended that Iraqi companies switch to the statistical method in distributing indirect costs instead of relying on a technique that increases the cost of products and makes them unable to compete and achieve growth and sustainability.
