Purpose: Ethics is a fundamental issue in the accounting and auditing profession and the application of IT-related approaches to the financial sciences is undeniable; therefore, the purpose of this study is to prepare a model and systematize the relationship between ethical philosophies and information technology with the ethical behavior of auditors using the ANT.Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of using the findings and qualitative in terms of the research method. It also has a developmental orientation with regard to increasing knowledge and presenting a new model. The research population includes studies related to the subject with the same sample, which includes 3 articles, and in this regard, no sampling was done and the sample and the population were considered the same. Then, the final model is prepared with the meta-synthesis of the sample components with the ANT approach. Finally, the importance of the components of the model was confirmed by interviewing 5 experts.Findings: Findings showed that ethical behavior in auditors is influenced by human and technical actors. Human actors generally include moral theories and technical actors in general include information technology. Ethical theories (human actors) are also divided into two general parts: action-based theories and virtue-based theories (virtuosity). Action-based theories also include duty-based (duty-oriented), outcome-based (utilitarianism and otherism), divine-based (benevolence), and justice-based (justice-oriented). Information technology (technical actors) also includes the integrated theory of acceptance and use of advanced technology (motivation, hope for effort, and social impact). The overall findings of the study showed that the components of technical and human actors have a positive and significant effect on the development of ethical behavior in auditors.Originality/Value: Considering the importance of systematizing ethical behavior and preparing models appropriate to the country's environment, the findings of this study with strong theoretical and practical support can help to better understand and accelerate the implementation of auditors' ethical behavior and human and technical actors and shows the effective role of each one clearly

Purpose: Because of the complexity of today's business environment that are associated with high levels of uncertainty and risk, Company seeks to manage and reduce risk in their supply chain. One of the strategies to deal with supply chain risks is increasing the supply chain resiliency. To increase the resilience of the supply chain, it is necessary to be considered various capabilities. One of the most important capabilities are technological capabilities. Companies that do not have sufficient maturity in the technological capabilities cannot simultaneously implementing several ways of risk management. On the other hand, many technological capabilities related to each other and are able to interact with other abilities. Therefore, in this paper to reduce risk and consequently increase the resilience of the supply chain, after identifying indicators of technological capabilities, these indicators were prioritized.Methodology: At first, with the review conducted research in the field of supply chain resiliency, Indicators related to technological capabilities to increase supply chain resiliency were investigated and A list of identified criteria was placed at the disposal of company experts. Then, these criteria after examining in the case study and according to the experts with the Fuzzy Delphi method were modified and finalize. In the next step, based on SWARA method relevant indicators were weighted.Findings: Criteria of technological collaboration, supply chain agility, flexibility of supply respectively were recognized as the most important indicator.Originality/Value: With the development of information technology and the need for supply chain resilience, identifying technological capabilities and their impact on resilience is essential to reduce supply chain risk. In this paper, while identifying technological capabilities to increase supply chain resilience, these capabilities are prioritized. Also, the combined use of fuzzy Delphi methods to confirm the indicators and SWARA method has led to the stability of the results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to optimize the stock portfolio based on stochastic matrix theory in the stock market. and igenvalues to answer the question of whether the relevant information will exist using the Marčenko – Pastur distribution.Methodology: The data of 31 shares in Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2016 - 2019 will be examined for cross-correlation between shares. So, there will be 749 end-of-day prices and 748 logarithms of returns. This research has been done by descriptive-correlation method and is of applied research type.Findings: The results showed: a) Observing the largest distribution of eigenvectors components, it can be seen that there is a strong asymmetry to the left of the distribution, meaning that the market responds more to bad events than good events. b) By clearing the correlation matrix, the difference between the predicted and realized risk can be slightly reduced. In other words, by identifying and removing non-valuable stocks from the portfolio of portfolio, the risk is reduced. c) Stochastic stock matrix can significantly predict the realized return and risk of the market and therefore has a great ability to explain the risk of market information. d) The inverse participation ratio determines the stocks affecting the special vectors and the main analysis of random matrices is based on adjusting this ratio using random matrix clearance.Originality/Value: Stochastic matrix theory, unlike other portfolio formation methods that determine the weight of each asset in the portfolio, identifies unused stocks and removes them from the stock portfolio, thereby improving portfolio return and risk.
