The Center for Development and Continuing Education at the University of Basra is conducting this course as part of the government program "Development and Capacity Building of University Leadership and Human Resources."

In conclusion, it was recommended to provide training for decision-makers in the field of financial analysis and to conduct courses on decision-making processes. This would enhance decision-makers' ability to effectively interpret financial analysis results
