The external audit also concludes a positive impact on the use of artificial intelligence techniques in developing investor&#8217;s decisions through quality of external auditing.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The study recommends the need to keep pace with technological developments and respond to changes in surrounding environment by developing their skills in artificial intelligence techniques, and the need for audit offices to move towards applying artificial intelligence techniques in performing their work by encouraging them to replace their manual systems with computerized systems to improve effectiveness of auditor\u2019s performance, increase accuracy of the information, and reduce time of audit process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8564\" src=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-07.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8565\" src=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/uokerbala.edu.iq\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/photo_2023-10-08_11-41-10.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faculty of Management and Economics \/ University of Kerbala has discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on quality of auditing and its effect on investors\u2019 decisions, recommending the necessity of keeping pace with technological developments and responding to changes in surrounding environment.
