This study was designed to investigate the effect of dividend policy on the performance of companies operating in the industrial sector in Iraq. Steady performance can be controlled by using four variables: firm size, firm growth, financial leverage (debt-to-equity ratio), and corporate governance index. The data used in the current study were represented seven years period (2014-2020). The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, correlation, OLS regression, Lagrangian multiplier, Haussmann test, constant effects models and random effects. Furthermore, the main results of each objective obtained were followed up through the analysis method adopted. The results of the present study revealed a negative correlation between the dividend policy and profitability. Just as the size of the company, and the leverage came with a negative moral effect.

Purposes: The purpose of the research is to test the relationship between the reputation of the auditor's office and the accuracy of his opinion on continuity and the impact of that relationship on the financial failure of the client company.   Theoretical framework: Studying the impact of the financial failure of the client company as an intermediate variable. Where some control variables are included, these were addressed through previous studies through a sample of companies listed on the Iraqi stock market (2017-2020) based on the binary logistic regression model to test the research hypotheses.   Methodology/ Design Approach: Relying on the binary logistic regression model to test and conducting additional analysis to test the research hypotheses.   Results: The results of the research indicated that there is a positive and significant impact of the reputation of the audit firms on the accuracy of their opinion on the continuity hypothesis, as well as the positive impact of the accuracy of the opinion of the Supreme Audit Bureau in the supervision of the auditors of the Bureau, and there is a positive and important impact of the variable of financial default as an intermediary variable between reputation the auditor's office and the accuracy of his opinion on continuity. Finally, the results of the analysis support the positive correlation of the effect of financial failure as a control variable on the accuracy of his opinion on going concern.   Research and practical and social effects: The social effects of research appear by studying the reputation of the auditor and its impact on the continuity or failure of companies listed in the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The value of originality: The research represents a qualitative addition to the research that examined the auditor’s reputation variables and their impact on the continuity of companies.
