A Scientific Visit to the Ministry of Finance and Economy in the Kurdistan Region: Introducing Business Administration Department Students to Accounting Operations

On Wednesday, March 25, 2025, a scientific visit to the Ministry of Finance and Economy, Kurdistan Region – Erbil was held, involving a group of fourth-year Business Administration Department students from Cihan University – Erbil under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Hevi Muhammed Qadir.

Upon arrival, the students were warmly received by the administrative staff at the ministry. They were later introduced to accounting affairs by Mr. Heman Shukur Mahmud, the Director of Accounting. He explained how several tasks, such as purchasing stationery, are performed digitally to record daily expenses, compared to other tasks that are still carried out manually through ledgers.

They were then briefed about the KFMS system by Ms. Parzhin Fouad, a staff member of the Accounting Department. She provided step-by-step guidance on how to record expenses and revenues in the ledgers for each code. Additionally, she discussed the ministry’s revenue sources, including taxes and fees.

The visit was useful for the students as they received answers to their questions regarding the ministry’s operations. It ended with Assistant Lecturer Hevi thanking the ministry staff for providing this great opportunity to the students.
