The analysis of this relationship was done by studying the extended audit report, with the main aim of identifying the significant developments that have taken place in such reports under the backdrop of the recent professional publications. The paper has also determined the key qualitative features that have been included in the accounting information to enable it be better placed to serve the needs of the users in terms of quality and disclosure. Besides, the research examined the connection between the adoption of the extended audit report and the relevance of accounting information and external auditing quality. Method: A purposive sample of 248 observations during a period of four years, 2016-2019 was sampled to analyze this relationship in a scientific and accurate manner. The sample in the study was confined to the companies, which apply the extended audit report, which they complete under the control of the central body or follow the system of the doubling entries.  Results:  The research has found substantial findings that indicate that the higher the degree of commitment to adopt the extended audit report, the better the relevance of the accounting information, especially in the abnormal returns of the shares. The research also established that adoption of extended audit report helps in improving quality of external auditing since auditors are guided by giving more detailed opinion that encompasses different aspects of the company.  Novelty: These findings underscore the need to use these reports to enhance the efficiency of the accounting and auditing system and hence enhance increased transparency and credibility in financial reporting.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the impact of adopting International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) on enhancing the transparency of government financial reporting, with a particular focus on Iraq. The research problem stems from the gap between the growing demand for financial transparency and the challenges impeding IPSAS implementation, including legislative, technical, and human resource limitations. Method: Using a descriptive-analytical approach supported by a field survey of 200 respondents from government ministries, public institutions, and academia. Results: The study finds that IPSAS adoption significantly improves transparency, builds international trust, and strengthens anti-corruption measures through enhanced disclosure. Nevertheless, the results highlight persistent barriers such as weak technological infrastructure, insufficient professional expertise, and the need for substantial legislative reforms. Novelty: The study recommends updating accounting legislation, developing IT infrastructure, and implementing intensive training programs to ensure effective IPSAS adoption, thereby improving the quality of government financial reporting and fostering greater stakeholder trust at both local and international levels.
