The study explored trust in the accounting information system and tested its compatibility with the credit granting decision level. The study also hypothesized that whenever the confidence in the current accounting information system is high, the level of the decision to grant credit is high, and vice versa. To test this assumption, the study used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). This method is usually preferred when the goal of the research is to develop theory and explain variance or predict structures. The survey design approach was adopted in the commercial banks in Jordan, where 225 valid questionnaires were retrieved for statistical analysis. The results demonstrate a direct and significant effect on GCD in commercial banks. Moreover, the results of this paper show that cloud computing (CC) mediates the relationship between the independent variable (Accounting Information System Trust (AIS-Trust) with the dependent variable (Grant Credit Decision (GCD)).

This paper investigated the impact of corporate governance on enhancing the financial performance of industrial companies. The sample of the research consisted of 55 industrial companies listed at the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2014-2018. Data were collected from the firms' annual financial statements using content analysis approach. The results confirmed that the audit committee and ownership structure had positive and significant effects on two dimensions of financial performance. In view of research findings, the study recommends companies to raise some awareness about the importance of corporate governance, in addition to strengthening supervisory procedures by legislators.
