The research aims to shed light on the procedures followed by the auditor through the use of liquidity and profitability indicators, extracted from the cash flow statement, in assessing the continuity of the Babylon and Ishtar hotels. The research was built on the following hypothesis: "The liquidity and profitability indicators based on the detection of cash flows help the auditor in evaluating the financial performance of the Babylon and Ishtar hotels, subject to auditing for a period not exceeding one fiscal year." The researchers completed the practical side by studying the analysis of the financial reports of the units under study. The most prominent conclusions on the practical side were: Management declarations are audit evidence (a written statement submitted by management) that helps the auditor to reach conclusions that contribute to the formulation of his impartial technical opinion, and these decisions are also necessary information to complete an audit.. Through the declarations presented in the financial report of the hotel and tourism sector, there is no declaration showing the continuity of the units for the next (12) months, and the management of the units did not conduct an assessment of continuity despite the inclusion of the concept of continuity in the accounting rule 6. Also, the entities based on the implementation of operations. The audit (Federal Financial Supervision Bureau, and a special audit office), did not refer in the audit report to conducting assessments about continuity. The most prominent recommendations were as follows: The necessity of the auditor when auditing hotels, to put a paragraph explaining the continuity of units for the next (12) months. Shedding light on the use of financial indicators (liquidity and profitability) based on the cash flow statement because it illustrates the impact of cash flows on continuity

The research aims to use indicators of financial failure in assessing the continuity of banks, as Iraqi banks are among the first institutions and companies that have tended to implement international standards, in addition to being committed to principles and assumptions in the accounting field and facing many and varied risks. Perhaps one of the most dangerous is financial failure, so we find that the prediction of failure financial engages all the authorities related to banks, especially researchers and those interested in this subject, to develop models to be used in assessing the continuity of banks . One of these models is the (kida) model, which is used in assessing the continuity of banks and their ability to meet their obligations and carry out their duties through a set of financial ratios that distinguish between banks those who succeed in their doubtful ability and which are exposed to financial failure, and to know the nature of their activities early.From this standpoint, one of the main objectives of the research is to identify the extent of the effectiveness of using the (Kida) model in evaluating the continuity of banks by ascertaining whether the banks were exposed to financial failure or no, in order to achieve this goal, the two researchers used some financial statements of the banks, the sample of the research, and the research problem was represented by paltry The following question: Does the (Kida) model reveal to us the risks of financial failure facing commercial banks listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange by evaluating their continuity in the exercise of their commercial activity in the foreseeable future? The Kida model was applied to a sample of three Iraqi banks using financial ratios, and at the end of the analysis some conclusions and recommendations were drawn up that emphasize the need for banks to adopt financial analysis models to know the results of their work in terms of predicting financial failure.

The Iraqi markets witnessed a great momentum in the volume of products, which led to a rise in competition, as local production requires restructuring and the adoption of new systems that will raise competitiveness in the market. The main research problem is the time period required for production and inventory and its costs, where the time of products exceeds the planned time.The research seeks to apply the method of production on time and accelerated implementation to shorten the production period, cancel inventory of all kinds (raw materials, semi-manufactured, finished) and rearrange the factory to ensure shortening the distances between the factory machines and shortening the transportation time and thus accelerating the production process and indicating the sites of weakness within the unit In addition to developing appropriate and feasible solutions in industrial units to enable them to monitor the implementation stages, solve the problems they face and measure the time required in each stage of work in order to rationalize costs and increase the number of products,the research seeks in its applied side to prove the research hypothesis that adjusting the production process in order to reduce industrial costs, which leads to identifying waste areas in all stages of production and then finding temporal and cost deviations at any stage of the project and analyzing them to rationalize the costs of those paragraphs. In/11 2021 until 07/2022 the field of application of the research and the two production methods were used on time and the accelerated implementation within the production line of the Rafidain breeze fan, and the identification of waste areas and the method and their treatment, and one of the most important conclusions of the research is the possibility of reducing costs significantly by eliminating all kinds of waste.

Achieving competitive advantage by employing value stream Technology

Nada Mohamed Fadel, Abdel Reda Latif Jassim — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0100

The adoption of industrial economic units in Iraq has traditional cost systems that cause many problems in calculating the costs of its products (goods and services), such as high costs and low quality of those products, because these systems do not provide the appropriate cost information that these units need in the correct exercise of their main tasks such as planning, control and decision-making, As well as its inability to keep pace with developments in the market, which makes the possibility of its persistence very weak, and consequently losing its competitive position and market share and its exit from the market. Therefore, those units must find modern techniques and systems that enable them to measure their cost in an appropriate and accurate manner and add value to their products. By providing low cost and high quality products. The research was based on a basic hypothesis that (the employment of the value stream technology contributes to achieving competitive advantage), and the most prominent findings of the research are that the employment of the value stream contributes to enhancing the value of the industrial economic unit by reducing costs and improving value, by excluding Costs that do not add value and are unnecessary while maintaining the desired level of quality and maximizing perceived value to the customer.

The human carries in his body about 1-1.5 kilogram of different microorganisms, which together represent the human microbiota, where everyone has there own microbial environment. This microflora plays a vitally important role and interferes with many of the body's various physiological, immune, and nutritional functions, which may change according to the variation of many conditions that occur in our life.

Probiotics are known as live microorganisms that give positive effects on host health when consumed in sufficient numbers.

Probiotics are considered one of the most distinguished safe strategies to restore the vital microbiota which is important to the environment of living organisms in the gastrointestinal tract, as studies have proven its unique ability in the prevention and treatment of many diseases for young and old age people. Probiotics are available commercially in many different formulas and pharmaceutical forms (capsules, pills, tablets, etc.), which may be blamed for many disadvantages, as many complaints were recorded against some international companies producing. This matter encouraged those interested in the food industry field to move towards manufacturing functional foods as therapeutic nutritional products with a high number of live probiotics to achieve the health effect for humans, especially the various dairy products, which are considered one of the best food vehicles to contain and deliver these probiotics, due to their many advantages. This study aimed to highlight the importance of including food with probiotics, specifically dairy products, and preference it on pharmaceutical forms in order to deliver its nutritional and health benefits to humans.
