Critical review
تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لفهم دور المدقق الخارجي في كشف أساليب المحاسبة الإبداعية، إلا أنها تفتقر إلى تحليل عميق لبعض الجوانب مثل تأثير البيئة الاقتصادية والسياسية في سوريا على نتائج الدراسة. كما أن الاعتماد على استبانة كأداة وحيدة لجمع البيانات قد يحد من شمولية النتائج. كان من الممكن تعزيز الدراسة باستخدام مقابلات أو دراسات حالة لتقديم رؤية أكثر شمولية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لم تتناول الدراسة بشكل كافٍ تأثير العوامل الثقافية والاجتماعية على ممارسات المحاسبة الإبداعية في الشركات السورية.
