“…Moreover, the proposed model promotes a smooth integration of government services and thus cuts the time of overall projects which revealed a considerable improvement in the performance (Joshi et al 2017). (Ali et al 2018), proposed a platform to aid the government in overcoming the challenges which are confronting the data accessing and approval process. The proposed platform meant to establish a central data pool of shared information, resources and infrastructure which will expediate the process of approval and granting NOCs.…”

Organizations and companies who are working on construction sector within Oman are suffering from running into the bureaucracy process which established within the governmental stakeholders to obtain approvals and permissions like NOCs (No Objection Certificates). The objectives of this Research are to identify the impact of governmental stakeholders on delaying projects completion as a result of lengthy process of granting NOCs and subsequently design a platform which will guarantee a flat process for approaching information and issuing approvals. Three research methodologies have been implemented in this study. The first one was a quantitative where questionnaire distributed to selective personnel who are working in construction project environment and representing different local companies. The second one was a qualitative method where interviews with project managers, senior engineers and leaders in the construction field has been conducted to understand the impact caused by long approval process in their projects’ lifecycle. The third one was an expert system where an online platform is developed and sought to expedite the approvals process from governmental stakeholders and accordingly evaluate the compatibility and reliability of the system through selective personnel from the construction sector. The expected outcomes of this study are to achieve a solution with an aim at speeding up issuing NOCs and approvals obtainment as well as diminishing the needless processes practiced by governmental stakeholders in the built environment within Oman.

“…Therefore, accounting service providers (service organisations) have developed many solutions and application software based on cloud computing and mobile technologies (Claudiu et al, 2015). These technologies have helped businesses support their financial and accounting operations and services by providing the following advantages: no need to install any accounting software on the company's devices, access to accounting services through a Web browser or an application programming interface from anywhere and at any time over the internet and secure storage and processing of company data on the servers (single version of the truth) of cloud service providers instantaneously (Ali et al, 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of external auditor–cloud specialist engagement on cloud auditing challenges from the perspective of auditors from the Association of Certified Public Accountants in a developing country as an example of Middle East emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was used to assess the influence of external auditor–cloud specialist engagement on three main cloud auditing challenges (i.e. technology security, regulatory standards and strategy). Data collection was conducted through field and online surveys. A total of 201 (181 male and 20 female) auditors made up a sample of a developing country’s economy. In addition, structural equation modelling was performed to test the proposed hypotheses of the study’s conceptual model. Findings The study found a significant effect of external auditor–cloud specialist engagement on overcoming the challenges of cloud auditing. Results showed that using IT specialists helps overcome strategic challenges more than other kinds of challenges, such as technology security and organisational standards. Practical implications The findings suggest that efforts to promote cloud auditing in organisations may succeed if the focus is on overcoming cloud auditing challenges and highlighting the external auditor–cloud specialist engagement to enhance job performance. Originality/value This study is one of the few studies that analyse the impact of external auditor–cloud specialist engagement on cloud auditing challenges by adopting a quantitative approach from the perspective of auditors from the Iraqi Association of Certified Public Accountants.

“…This requirement will be realized more difficult if the information resources are organized in a virtual environment by using cloud/mobile cloud technologies and/or other technologies such as social networking and smart e‐governance technology. For example, Ali, Mazen, and Hassanein () discuses many challenges in using e‐governments' services and infrastructure and determines that the cloud computing could “play a vital role to solve these problems.” A hybrid model with three levels of cloud computing is proposed: “Local Governmental Cloud,” “Regional Governmental Cloud,” and “Wide Governmental Cloud.”…”

Contemporary digital age proposes different opportunities in the public, social, private, and business areas based on remote access to distributed resources placed in virtual, cloud, educational, governmental, business, smart, and so forth environments. In this reason, the e‐governance is realized on the basis of digital communications between different parties that requires strong protection of the information resources and personal data. The digital sustainability is an important task for e‐governance in the digital world. Article deals with principles of correct protection of the information resources (including in the cloud) by using strong procedures for access regulation of the external clients. Organization of Information Security Management System for identification, registration, authentication, and authorization of the requests is discussed. An investigation of the proposed functionality is made on the basis of stochastic analytical modelling by using the apparatus of Markov chains and statistical processing and interpretation of the obtained results.
