Integrated reporting includes elements to meet these needs, and the prevalence of the application of this reporting is still a subject of debate among academics, business unit workers, and legislators. Part of the reason for this may be that integrated reporting is a complex process that includes a series of activities and not just a result in the form of integrated reporting, and for effective integrated reporting, economic units need a comprehensive review of economic processes, this means recognizing the economic, social and environmental elements and variables and the associated processes, principles and ethical values. All of these important internal mechanisms point to significant challenges during the implementation of the integrated reporting framework. The balanced scorecard can contribute to overcoming some of the obstacles that prevent any unit from implementing the integrated reporting framework, including improving the disclosure of intangible assets. Therefore, the interest in this subject through the statement of the balanced score card perspectives and the perspectives that can be developed for the possibility of using them in evaluating the level of reporting integrated reports and suggesting a mechanism aimed at improving the information of integrated reporting and evaluating performance using the balanced scorecard by adapting the local environment variables in this direction according to the accounting system of companies.</p> Imad Sobeih Faraj Al-Saffar, Huda Mohammed Reda Mohamed Jawad Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/293 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The role of environmental costs in achieving competitive advantage in economic units https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/294 <p>&nbsp;The research aims to study the impact of environmental costs in achieving competitive advantage in economic units. In achieving the competitive advantage As the environmental costs were measured through the production stages and the classification of environmental costs in the Kufa Cement Factory, the research sample, as for the method of data collection, it was relied on data related to costs and trial balance, which were obtained from the financial and production departments (research sample) to reach the results, and after testing the research hypotheses, a set of conclusions was reached, represented by the importance of the system applied in the economic unit (the research sample) to include identification and disclosure of environmental cost activities as well as disclosure in the financial statements of environmental information such as environmental assets and liabilities, expenditures and revenues related to the environment&nbsp; And protecting them, and thus this will lead to making correct administrative decisions and choosing appropriate alternatives, resulting in the production of environmentally friendly products or less environmental damage than products that are not environmentally friendly and in a way that helps achieve the competitive advantage of those units.</p> Kawakib Ali Mhalhal , muqdad Ahmed Nouri Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/294 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Special financial statements as an input to enhance the relevance of financial and non-financial information https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/295 <p>&nbsp;The research aims to clarify the concept of private financial statements and their role in enhancing the appropriateness of financial and non-financial information through preparing special financial lists containing financial and non-financial information based on the various needs of users to help them make their decisions.

The research aims to study the knowledge bases of the strategy Cleaner production and identification of costs that can be reduced during the production stages and a statement of the obstacles facing the application of cleaner production and proposals to address these obstacles and the role of the cleaner production strategy in reducing costs, and the researcher concluded that cleaner production is a strategy used by the economic unit for the purpose of preserving the environment from all forms of pollution that are It has negative effects on society, in addition to the optimal use of the unit’s resources, which contributes to reducing costs and increasing profitability. The researcher recommends the necessity of focusing economic units on producing environmentally friendly products as they contribute to saving resources and energy and do not harm the environment during use and avoid environmental costs and fines for emissions and pollution resulting from the manufacturing process Thus, it contributes to reducing costs and raising the competitive advantage of the economic unit.</p> Miaad hameed Ali, Hiba Mahmood Mohammed Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/296 Sat, 15 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Impact Of Qualified Auditors On The Finance Performance Of Private Sector Organizations https://bcuj.baghdadcollege.edu.iq/index.php/BCESUJ/article/view/297 <p>Since private sector firms, particularly banks, are the main and most significant financial intermediaries in the majority of nations, they are essential to economic development. Deposits, short-term capital, and borrowed money are the three basic funding sources for banks. Banks make investments in many financial goods. The most typical uses of bank funds are loans, securities, and reserves. The two primary items on a bank's balance sheet are loans and deposits. Due to financial liberalization, globalization, and technology advancements, bank management and operations have changed during the past three decades.

From this point of view, the research problem has been identified through the large gap that has emerged and aggravated in the field of institutions seeking to improve the value provided to the customer through the commodity or service provided to him, especially health care institutions that are looking to attract this customer (patient) and improve the value provided to him. The problem also emerged about the nature and level of interest in the dimensions of value engineering and customer value in hospitals, the research sample, and the extent of the impact of the dimensions of value engineering technology in improving the value of the patient. To study this, the research adopted a test of the type and direction of the relationship between value engineering technology as an independent variable and customer value as a responsive variable. The aim of the current research is to test and determine the technical relationship of value engineering in improving customer value. A number of hypotheses have been formulated for this purpose, the most important of which is finding the correlation and influence relationship between the value engineering variable and the customer value. The field research method was used by distributing a questionnaire to a sample of department managers and people's officials from doctors, their number reached (97) doctors in three private hospitals: the International Hospital, Al-Moayad Hospital, and Al-Qimma Hospital. As for the most prominent conclusions, it was represented: that all the correlation and influence relationships of value engineering technology with customer value were good and with moral significance. The research concluded with a set of recommendations, the most important of which were: Hospitals should devote their efforts in the field of service value engineering technology and employ it in improving customer value through special programs designed for this purpose.</p> Zaid Mohammed Abdulrahman Al.Adhami, Maha Abdulkareem H.
