  • Abstract
    We investigate the relationship between CEO ability and accrual quality in the Iraq Stock Exchange. Furthermore, we study how the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) influences the relationship between CEO ability and accrual quality. Using a sample of firms listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange over the years 2012-2018, we show that CEO ability positively affects accrual quality. Moreover, the results indicate that ISIS weakens the relationship between CEO ability and accrual quality.
