Abstract
This research aims to verify the relationship between credit risk and the quality of accounting information, as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of credit risk as an independent variable on the quality of accounting information as a dependent variable in Kurdistan International Islamic Bank for Investment and Development (KIIB) in Erbil with a comparative analysis with the Islamic Iraqi Bank for Investment and Development (IIB), covering the period from 2005 to 2021. The empirical analysis, using quantitative research design, was conducted through multiple regression models, relying on the financial data taken from the annual financial reports of the two banks to measure the research variables and to find the strength and direction of the relationship between them. The results of the research confirmed the validity of its hypothesis based on the existence of a statistically significant relationship between credit risk and the quality of accounting information represented in relevance and reliability, and statistical analysis revealed positive parameters associated with credit risk. The positive and significant impact of credit risks on quality of accounting information implies that the bank faces a trade-off between risk and quality. This research contributes to enhancing confidence in Islamic banks, achieving transparency in their financial reports, and providing practical recommendations to professionals, regulators and decision-makers, especially in the presence of effective risk management.
