Abstract

The key to the true success of any institution or government department lies in the degree of interconnection between the administration and the employees of that department and each employee’s knowledge of his responsibility towards his second home (the institution to which he belongs) and his keenness to perform the tasks entrusted to him with precision and honesty. So, This research aims primarily to identify the administrative and financial department and the tasks assigned to the National Center for Construction Laboratories in detail, in addition to the statement of financial position for 2021, which includes revenues and expenses. The research reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which are: There is a discrepancy in revenues, as the increase in revenues for some laboratories is due to the nature of the work environment in that governorate, the size and diversity of projects, and the construction movement in it, in addition to the direction of the local administration in that governorate, which imposes reliance on reputable government agencies about construction inspections for existing projects. In that governorate, it refused to rely on private (private) examining bodies. As for laboratories with low revenues, this is due to the governorate councils' directive to rely on private (private) laboratories and university laboratories to conduct the examination

The key to the true success of any institution or government department lies in the degree of interconnection between the administration and the employees of that department, and each employee’s knowledge of his responsibility towards his second home (the institution to which he belongs) and his keenness to perform the tasks entrusted to him with precision and honesty.

The accuracy of the work of the administrative and financial department in any governmental or private institution leads to ensuring the rights of the institution and its employees, and thus their performance of their duties with high efficiency.

In a statement of revenues compared to expenditures, it shows some governorates with high revenues and others with low revenues. This is due to the availability of job opportunities in the governorate, and a number of private laboratories have come online, as a number of government institutions have begun to rely on these private laboratories, which are in many Its examinations of materials are often inaccurate and do not conform to the specifications issued by the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control.

The center’s revenues during the year 2021 amounted only to (4.38) billion dinars, while the operating expenses for that year amounted to (0.8) billion dinars. This indicates the high productivity of the center and its effective contribution to the country’s national product.

The Salah al-Din Laboratory is considered the most productive laboratory, as its revenues for the year 2021 amounted to (819.5) million dinars, representing (18.7%) of the center’s total revenue in that year, followed by the Baghdad Central Laboratory, with revenues amounting to (499.5) million dinars, representing (11.4%) of the revenues. The total for that year was followed by the Kirkuk Laboratory, with a revenue of (494.5) million dinars, at a rate of (11.3%) of the total revenue, followed by the Wasit Laboratory, with a revenue of (326.9) million dinars, at a rate of (7.5%) of the total revenue, followed by the Babylon Laboratory, with a revenue of (312.4) million, at a rate of ( 7.1%) of the total revenue for that year. This increase in revenue compared to the rest of the other laboratories is due to the size of the service and investment projects established in those governorates.

Operating expenses for the year 2021 at the center’s headquarters amounted to (405) million dinars, representing (51%) of the total operating expenses for that year, which amounted to (802) million dinars. This increase is due to the fact that the center is managed centrally, which includes many departments, as shown in the organizational structure.

There is a discrepancy in revenues, as the increase in revenues for some laboratories is due to the nature of the work environment in that governorate, the size and diversity of projects in that governorate, and the construction movement in it, in addition to the direction of the local administration in that governorate, which imposes reliance on reputable government agencies with regard to construction inspections for existing projects. In that governorate, it refused to rely on private (private) examining bodies. As for laboratories with low revenues, this is due to the directive of the governorate councils there to rely on private (private) laboratories and university laboratories to conduct the examination.

The Center, as an exclusive examining body, has contracted with large and important investment and service projects, such as the draft Iraqi-Chinese agreement to build a thousand schools in all governorates of Iraq, under the general and direct supervision of the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers. This demonstrates the importance of the Center as an examining body for construction materials and its position among other examining bodies that provide the same services.
