The statistical population of the study includes all approved laws in the field of finance, from the formation time of the first parliament until the end of the tenth parliament.Research findings: According to the statistical analysis and data, and conforming to the previous researches, Iranian approved laws in financial field are not appropriate in terms of transparency, stability and non-dispersion.Conclusion, originality and its contribution to the knowledge: The results of this study show that ten percent of all approved laws is in the field of finance, in the form of interpretive laws (in order to remove the ambiguity in the laws). Forty-five percent of laws is in the form of amending laws (which confirms the instability of financial laws. Two percent is in the form of extension of the experimental rules. And only Forty-three percent is in the form of the new rules. These ratios confirm the necessity of carrying out fundamental corrective actions in the legislative system including: strengthening the process of drafting the law, observing and paying special attention to drafting, revising the existing laws, and changing the legislative system to "bill-based").

The main goal of this research was to design a model to improve supervision in order to empower and maintain preventive audit.An induction-based qualitative approach was adopted, and in terms of the goal, it is a basic research. The statistical population of this research is 18 experts in the field of auditing. Data analysis was done in three stages of open coding, central coding and selective coding using MAXQDA software. After a detailed analysis of interviews, research findings led to identification of 92 extracted concepts from 18 main categories. Then the categories were established based on the six dimensions of the paradigmatic model categories (causal conditions, central phenomenon, contextual factors, intervening factors, policies and consequences) and the final research model was obtained. The paradigm model of research in causal conditions includes 1-regulatory situation, 2-executive recommendations, and 3-specialized conditions; Categories in central phenomenon section include 1-legal bottlenecks, 2-structural bottlenecks and 3-environmental bottlenecks; The categories in contextual conditions section include 1- organizational planning, 2-creating institutional platforms and 3-the need to pay attention to legal requirements; The categories in intervening conditions section include 1-regulatory measures, 2-empowerment and 3-the need to pay attention to human factors; The categories in the policy section include 1-financial supervision, 2-creation of suitable legal platforms and 3-formulation of organizational policies. It is expected that with the implementation of these policies, consequences such as supervisory, financial and environmental effectiveness will be achieved in the public sector regulatory environment.

Subject and purpose of the article: This research was carried out with the aim of providing a hierarchical model for evaluating the effectiveness of bold financing of the Barkat Knowledge Foundation Institute.Research method: The method of conducting this research is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). In the qualitative section, 112 valid scientific and research articles were examined using the meta-composite approach, and finally 41 articles were selected to extract the indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of bold financing. After detailed analysis, 19 indicators were identified and extracted to evaluate the effectiveness of bold financing. Then, in the quantitative section, the opinions of 16 experts were confirmed about the validity of the index using a fuzzy Delphi questionnaire, then the combined method of Dimtel-ISM was used to present the model.Research findings: In the Dimtel section, the relationship and effectiveness of the extracted indicators were compiled with the help of experts. With ISM MATLAB software, the collected data were analyzed in the form of self-interaction matrix and a four-level model was obtained. The research model showed that the strategic performance is the most influential indicator in evaluating the effectiveness of bold financing of Barkat Knowledge Foundation Institute.Conclusion, originality and its addition to knowledge: The risk that threatens bold funds is that the project fails. Therefore, due to the fact that no research has been done on the effectiveness of these funds. This article can be a help for those who intend to finance and support start-ups as investors in these funds.
