Abstract

The research aims to test the role of financial immunity represented by (the ability to learn, organizational memory, regulatory genes, DNA) in the success of rational and financial decisions represented by (the investment decision, the financing decision, the profit distribution decision). In order to achieve the research objectives, a hypothetical diagram was designed to clarify the nature of the relationship between the variabilities. In order to test the research hypotheses, the research was applied to a sample of managers and administrators in Hiwa Rauf Company and Halabja Investment Group in Sulaymaniyah, to obtain the required information through the questionnaire prepared for this purpose. The researcher distributed (135) questionnaire forms, (130) forms were retrieved, while the valid forms for analysis amounted to (128) forms. The current research used several statistical tools. The study employed various analytical tools and reached several significant conclusions. The most important finding is the presence of a positive correlation and a statistically significant effect between financial resilience and sound financial decision-making. This result highlights that strengthening financial resilience enhances the quality and efficiency of financial decisions, while also supporting organizations’ ability to adapt and make effective strategic choices under challenges and changing economic conditions. In light of these findings, the study proposed key recommendations, including attracting and retaining highly skilled financial professionals and developing specialized training programs in financial analysis and risk management.
