Whether estimations of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) still offer accurate indicators of development in a digitalized economy has turned into a contentious issue. The characteristics of the digital economy have significant ramifications for measuring GDP, productivity, and family well-being in the retail industry, as well as throughout the economy's service sectors. As a fresh inspiration for economic globalization, the growth of the digital economy presents both opportunities and challenges for further advancement. The productivity paradox should be acknowledged in the digital economy, recognizing that GDP numbers have limitations when it comes to tracking the sector's progress. In light of the declining productivity and the continued growth of the digital economy, this study offers fresh insights into the identification of disruptive business models driven by digital solutions. This paper's contribution is to empirically evaluate how the digital economy affects GDP using data from the global economy. Data and information from many sources were gathered for this research through a literature survey, for the gathering of GDP and digital economy statistics. The data sources included specific data from the US BEA, OECD, ADB, APEC, and IMF</p> Prof. Salih M.

The results showed that the reliability coefficient was 0.992, indicating high overall reliability, while the validity coefficient was 0.996, reflecting high accuracy in the measurements. The results also showed good reliability when dividing the tool into two halves, as the value reached 0.908, which enhances the credibility of the results. The results indicated that there was a general positive agreement among sample members regarding the strategic planning paragraphs, as the overall average was 3.59 with a standard deviation of 1.45, indicating strong support for all dimensions related to planning. However, some areas, such as reviewing strategic plans, showed a need for improvement. As for social responsibility, the overall average was 3.56 with a standard deviation of 1.43, reflecting agreement among employees regarding the effectiveness of social responsibility practices. The results also showed a strong positive relationship between strategic planning and social responsibility, as the correlation coefficient reached 0.889, indicating significant significance. When analyzing the regression model, the arithmetic value of (F) for strategic planning was 1396.014, indicating a strong significant effect, while (R2) was 0.825, which means that 82.5% of the changes in social responsibility can be explained by strategic planning. Finally, Kolmogorov-Smirnova and ShapiroWilk tests confirmed that the data follow a normal distribution, which supports the reliability of the results.</p> Habeeb wateen Mankhi Al-Rikabi, Imad Jasser Awda Al-Hadidi Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://scholarexpress.net/index.php/wefb/article/view/4580 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF AI ADOPTION IN ACCOUNTING: AUTOMATING PROCESSES, REDUCING ERRORS, AND ENHANCING DISCLOSURE QUALITY https://scholarexpress.net/index.php/wefb/article/view/4581 <p>This paper tries to focus on AI in the accounting sector, its applications (current and prospective), advantages, difficulties and impacts. It is structured as follows. Literature Review: In the first stage many related works considered to ensure the state, potential applications and challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Accounting. Systematic Review: Second stage, Impact of AI implementation towards the accounting processes, monitoring changes and trends. Comparative Review: Most researches are compared at third stage in order to assess the variety of views on the effects of AI and the areas of investigation remain uncovered. The implementation of AI evidently has a lot of advantages like bringing in more transparency, accuracy and efficiency as well as much more complex analytical abilities. For a more in-depth analysis of the underlying topics, e.g. seminal tracking studies and mediators/moderators, sociotechnical impacts, cultural factors as well as preparedness for digital transformation, and ethical dilemmas related to use of intelligent transportation systems are all presented or brought forth. Future research should focus on the application of AI in early-adopting nations especially those lagging behind, along with efforts to develop accounting systems to attain a global balance in AI research.</p> Lec.
