        The present research aims to study the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on therelationship between the internal control weakness and accruals' quality in the companies listed inTehran Stock Exchange. The accruals' quality and the internal control weakness are the dependentand independent variables, respectively. 9 different criteria of the corporate governance includemanagerial mechanisms and ownership structure as the moderating variables. To calculate theresearch variables, data of 159 companies in the time interval of 2011-2017 were used. The researchis applied, descriptive and correlational. The hypotheses testing using the regression models showsthat there is a significant reverse relationship between the internal control weakness and accruals'quality. And independence of the board of directors, the size of the board of directors, free float stockand the institutional ownership percentage will weaken the negative effect of the internal controlweakness on the accruals' quality and in contrast, the CEO stability and the ownership concentrationwill intensify the effect of internal control weakness in companies.

        The existence of weak internal controls provides directors to engage in opportunistic exploitation of corporate cash resources. As such, corporate cash holding is anticipated to increase investors' concerns, which, in turn, leads to the underestimation of corporate cash value in the market. Accordingly, the present study examines the effect of internal control weaknesses on the market value of cash holdings. In doing so, Faulkender & Wang (2006) model was used to measure the market value of cash holdings. The research hypothesis was tested based on a sample of 97 firms listed on the Tehran stock exchange during the years 1391 to 1395 and using multiple regression model based on panel data techniques. The results indicate that presence of internal control weaknesses reduces the market value of corporate cash holdings. This suggests that investors undervalue the cash held in the firms with weak internal controls. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, with the increase of environmental concerns, application of scientific and practical tools in this field has been welcomed. Universities are the most appropriate place to develop environmental activities and strive to prioritize environmental practices more responsibly. The present study examines and selects green management development strategies in the University of Guilan as one of the leading universities in green management in higher education. According to the University of Guilan situation, 14 and 17 items were examined respectively as internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) in the green management of the university through hierarchical analysis. One of the most important weaknesses is lack of infrastructure and fundamental facilities, which have led to high consumption of energy, materials and paper due to the deterioration of buildings and equipment, lack of energy control facilities, and etc. Evaluation of internal and external factors, integration and drawing of space matrix, showed that the green management of University of Guilan is in a situation where aggressive strategies take precedence over other strategies. Offensive strategies were quantitatively evaluated and ranked based on the strategic planning matrix. The results showed that the strategies of supporting green research projects, public culture and incentive policies are the most effective and best strategies for the development of green management at the University of Guilan, respectively.

        Abstract Risk disclosure is important. The study of factors affecting risk disclosure and the effect of risk disclosure on firm performance in the risk disclosure literature has been considered. Effective internal controls can drive the level of risk disclosure in the text of financial statements. This issue has been considered in this research. To answer the research question on how the effectiveness of internal controls affects risk disclosure, the data of 114 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were analyzed. The findings show that companies with weak internal control systems report lower levels of textual risk disclosure than companies with effective internal controls. The results also show that the periodic repetition of the weakness of internal controls and its public dissemination leads to the disclosure of a higher level of risk by managers. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that auditors' attention to the internal controls weakness and strengthening the structure of internal controls of the company can improve further risk disclosure. Overall, the results of the research fill the existing research gap in the field of the importance of disclosing internal control weaknesses and the usefulness of the independent auditor's attention to the effectiveness of internal controls and managing risk-based textual disclosure.

        There are no traces left of the Shia chain of narrators (Rijāl) before the 4th century before, and other than the titles of the books, there is no report of their contents. The thought of early Rijāli scholars recount the Rijāli evaluations taken from and influenced by the Imams' opinions about the companions. Mohammad ibn Isa Ubaid is of influential textualist Rijālis whose al-Rijāl used to be a source for Mohammad ibn ʿUmar al-Kashī in authoring his Rijāl. This research is to come to an understanding of Ubaidi's Rijāli thought. Therefore, the criterion for reliance or weakness in the two general groups is complimentary or reproaching reactions of the Imam toward the narrator as well as the latter's characteristics, in each of which group there's a meaningful relationship with the type of the criteria. In disagreement points, it does not contain any weak Rijāli leaders (Mashāyīkh). It has preferred scientific relations to in-sectarian disagreements. Whatever is gathered here is an outcome of a geographical stretch of Iraqi school as well as the works of Fataḥīs, Ghulāt, Wāqifīs and weak and reliable narrators, also works unrelated with Rijāl such as Nawādir.
