Authors : Ziani Abdelhak . Medjdoub Kheira .

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of adopting cloud computing on data management and the level of transparency within Algerian economic institutions. To achieve this objective, a descriptive and analytical approach was employed, utilizing a survey distributed to a sample of 120 institutions representing diverse sectors. The study focused on testing three main hypotheses concerning the role of security strategies, regulatory framework, and the integration of cloud systems with traditional ones. The results revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the development of security strategies and the enhancement of data security levels. Additionally, it was found that a clear regulatory framework facilitates the effective adoption of cloud computing, while technical integration contributes to improving the quality of financial auditing and transparency. The study recommends sustainable investment in security infrastructure, the development of digital legislation, and the strengthening of professional training programs to ensure successful digital transformation in Algerian institutions.
