        The financial scandals that rocked stock markets around the world in the late 1990s and early 2000s severely undermined confidence in the financial reporting process, and thus the financial markets. The focus of internal audit, which was traditionally on operational controls and risks and assisting management in decision-making, brought to the improvement of the corporate governance process and detection of fraud in management and inappropriate accounting practices (including profit management). This study examines the issue that with the approval of the internal control directive and the requirement to establish an internal audit unit in business units in Iran since 2013, does internal audit lead to a decrease in profit management or not? The time of this research is between 2007 and 2016, which includes 2 periods, 5 years before the requirement of internal audit and 5 years after that for companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange, which is done using the multivariate regression analysis method. It was tested using the F test of Limer and Hausman with the help of Eviews software. In this research, adapted from McNichols (2008), discretionary income used as a measure of earnings management. In addition, the data of 109 companies have been used to test the hypothesis. The results of the coefficients from the hypothesis test showed that the implementation of internal audit had a significant and negative effect on profit management.  Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe main function of the capital market is to finance productive production and service activities. To achieve this important goal, the shares of companies listed on the capital market must be attractive enough for investors to invest. One of the most important indicators of the attractiveness of a certain company's stock for investors is the return on investment. The return on investment comes more than anything from changes in a company's stock price, and a company's stock price changes come from its internal information management. In this research, a model for the relationship between market reaction and weak internal controls, manipulation of accruals, business risk and financial risk is presented. This research is a purely experimental research, but, according to the analysis of past information, the statistical population of the research is all companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period of 2007 to 2018. Finally, for statistical analysis, the calculated variables have been transferred to the Eviews9 software environment. The research findings show that the weakness of internal controls on the manipulation of real data, business risk and financial risk at the probability level. 5% has a significant effect. Manipulation of real information at the 5% probability level has a significant impact on financial and business risk. Manipulation of real information, financial risk and business risk at the 5% probability level have a significant impact on market reaction. Manuscript profile

        Today, internal controls have grown so dramatically that we see its progress towards internal consulting in the company's risk management operations. The current research was carried out with the aim of designing a causal model to eliminate the weak points of implementing internal controls in educational institutions according to the Fuzzy Dimtel method. This research is of mixed type (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of nature and content. Information of this research is related to 15 experts in educational institutions (Azad University, higher education, non-profit institutions), which constitute the statistical sample. This research is descriptive in terms of data collection and analysis, practical in terms of purpose, and documentary in terms of method. In order to collect data, the tool of paired comparison questionnaire is used. The results of this research showed that the four main factors of risk components, operational risk, independence of the board of directors, and institutional ownership have an effect on the weak implementation of internal controls. Also, Dimtel's method showed that the factor of independence of the board of directors with an average influence of 18.740, the factor of institutional ownership with an average impact of 9.497 and the factor of risk components with an average impact of 8.742, are among the influential factors. On the other hand, operational risk factor with an influenced average of 14.975 is an influenced factor. Manuscript profile

        Although the amount of investment of companies is caused by several factors. But the internal control factor is expected to have an effect on the cash flow of the company and the social responsibility of the companies. Therefore, the aim of the research is to answer the question of what is the effect of internal controls on the relationship between the level of social responsibility and the sensitivity of investment to cash flow. The research method is descriptive and causal-correlation in terms of relationship between variables and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population of companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange and the sample includes 140 companies during the years 2015 to 2019. The regression method and panel data as well as the fixed effects model were used to process the hypotheses and Wes Weaver software was used to search for the most cited authors. The level of social responsibility with the sensitivity of cash flow investment and internal controls has a negative and significant effect on the relationship between the level of social responsibility. Therefore, it can be argued that the disclosure of social responsibility reports will increase the quality of accounting information and reduce information asymmetry, Manuscript profile
