Abstract

The study aimed to identify the ”impact of integration between resource planning systems and e-government as an independent variable on the increase in government revenues in Iraq as a dependent variable by application on a sample of government departments operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In light of the statistical analytical method, by applying a questionnaire to a sample of )٤٠( individuals.
