Abstract

This study addresses how strategic management helps management consulting firms in Saudi Arabia adapt better to changes. It fills an important gap in understanding how strategic approaches boost a company's resilience and ability to learn continuously in fast changing environments. The research focuses on identifying which parts of strategic management like planning, vision, innovation, and resource use most effectively promote adaptability, which we measure through resilience and ongoing learning. What's special about this study is that it centers on Saudi Arabia's consulting scene, a sector that’s developing quickly under Vision 2030. The insights gained here could also be useful for other industries worldwide that face swift changes. For this research, a survey was done with 108 employees from a Saudi consulting firm. The data was analyzed using basic statistics and regression techniques. The findings indicate that managing innovation (β=0.677, p<0.001) and resources (β=0.424, p<0.001) have the biggest positive impact on resilience. Similarly, resource management (β=0.92, p=0.02) and innovation (β=0.42, p=0.04) considerably support continuous learning. Interestingly, having a strong strategic vision showed a noticeable effect on resilience (β=1.23, p=0.02). On the other hand, traditional strategic planning didn’t seem to have a meaningful influence on adaptability (p>0.05). To summarize, the ability to adapt in consulting firms depends more on flexible skills like innovation and agile resource use than on strict planning. The study recommends promoting a culture of innovation, developing flexible resource systems, and continuously encouraging learning. Policymakers can help by offering R&D incentives to support these efforts. Overall, this work provides a framework for companies dealing with uncertainty and aligns with Vision 2030’s goals for economic diversification. Future research should look into sector-specific strategies for adaptability and explore how leadership influences these processes

Abstract

Quantitative easing is an unconventional monetary policy used by some central banks to stimulate the local economy. The central bank prints a predetermined amount of money that will be used to purchase government bonds or financial assets to increase liquidity, this increases the excess reserves of the banking system, increases the prices of the financial assets that were purchased, and reduces their size. Banks are also forced to lower the interest rate, which leads to increased borrowing in the country and thus stimulates the economy. This policy is usually used when normal methods of controlling the money supply fail, that is, when the bank interest rate, discount rate, and interbank interest rate are at or near zero. Through its mandate, the Central Bank of Iraq seeks to support the development process and stimulate economic growth in Iraq by supporting the liquidity of specialized banks with financial initiatives that enable them to provide industrial, agricultural, and housing loans to support economic activity and create job opportunities. It also provides financial initiatives to private commercial banks to finance small and medium-sized enterprises, the bank has taken several steps and provided facilities, including banking facilities through rescheduling bank loans to the private sector, particularly those owed by small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as extending the repayment period for existing and future loans , Continuing to support real activities through the lending policy adopted by the Central Bank and in cooperation with banks operating in Iraq to drive development.

Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the impact of using artificial intelligence techniques on improving the quality and accuracy of external audit reports issued by Iraqi banks. To achieve this goal, the research followed a descriptive and analytical approach, with data collected using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 200 auditors and accountants working in Iraqi commercial banks. The research reached a set of results, the most important of which is a positive relationship between the use of artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and data analysis, and increased accuracy of audit reports. These technologies contribute to reducing errors and improving the quality of reports. However, the application of artificial intelligence faces some obstacles, most notably the lack of technological infrastructure and supporting laws that enable the effective use of these technologies. Based on these findings, the study recommends training auditors on the use of AI tools to enhance their skills and ability to leverage these technologies in their work.

Abstract

The Iraqi private sector has tremendous potential to capitalize on international economic integration opportunities by enhancing its competitiveness, expanding its exports, attracting foreign investment, and contributing to infrastructure development and knowledge transfer. However, the Iraqi private sector faces significant challenges that require concerted efforts between the public and private sectors to overcome. These challenges include the unstable security and political situation, bureaucratic corruption, weak infrastructure, and difficulty accessing financing. To overcome these obstacles and maximize the private sector's benefits from economic integration , the study recommends that the Iraqi government improve the business environment, facilitate procedures, provide investment incentives, develop infrastructure, support small and medium-sized enterprises, and combat corruption. The study also emphasizes the importance of the private sector itself developing its capabilities, investing in innovation and quality, and building strategic partnerships with international companies. Activating the role of the private sector and enabling it to exploit international economic integration opportunities represents a crucial step toward achieving sustainable economic development and a prosperous future for Iraq.

Abstract

Contemporary work environments face escalating challenges due to the massive and enormous volumes of financial and operational data produced by economic units, which has led to making Big Data technologies one of the key tools for developing internal control systems and improving the quality of financial reports. The current research aims to study the role of Big Data-based internal control systems in enhancing the credibility, accuracy, and transparency of financial reports in Iraqi economic units. This is achieved by developing a theoretical framework that links internal control practices with advanced data analysis tools, and then practically testing this framework through a targeted questionnaire directed at a sample of employees in internal control departments, financial accounting, and risk management. The research concludes that integrating Big Data tools into the design of internal control for economic units is crucial to mitigate financial errors and detect manipulation early, which strengthens investor confidence and achieves a competitive advantage for economic units. The findings of this research contribute to bridging the knowledge gap, whether at the local or regional level, by demonstrating the potential of investing in digital transformation to develop internal control environments and improve the quality of financial reports in Iraq.

Abstract

The paper employs an applied case study of the Middle East Investment Bank to investigate the relationship between voluntary disclosure, accounting profits quality, and investor confidence from 2010 to 2024. The research problem stems from the following question: To what extent does optional disclosure enhance earnings quality, and how will it affect investor confidence? This study incorporates quantitative tools for measuring earnings quality (i.e., accrual models) and disclosure content analysis along with market indicators of investor confidence, and uses a descriptive-analytical methodology based on reviewing financial reports and voluntary disclosures issued by the bank. To determine these relationships among the variables, multiple linear regression tests were performed along with mediation relationship tests. Findings from this preliminary research indicate that a higher level of earnings quality due to optional disclosure is likely to increase investor confidence, while one key mediating factor in the relationship between investor confidence and voluntary disclosure is earnings quality. The findings also suggest that if bank management wants to improve financial data reliability, investor confidence, and the stability of financial markets, it should make more voluminous voluntary disclosures and engage in more transparent accounting practices.
