        This article provides a theoretical analytical framework for understanding the corruptive functioning of political systems in the form of the idea of prebendalism, which has received little attention at the local political science literature. The concept of prebendalism and prebendal government is closely linked to the political corruption which itself has various dimensions and specific roots and consequences both at the community and the state level. Based on Joseph's views, the present paper provides a theoretical framework for understanding the issue of political corruption. The Prebendal government describes how elites and brokers operate at the political system level, indicating that the elites, because of their historical-political role and their performance in political positions, enjoy additional special privileges beyond legal ones at the state level and their major goal is further access to economic and political resources. The main question of the article is, what are the characteristics, foundations, and components for the formation of the Prebendal State? Inspired by Joseph's views and use of library resources and applying a historical-descriptive approach, this paper has found that the Prebendal government incorporates a variety of factors such as patrimonialism, clientalism, perception of the state as a market, the lack of a legitimated ideology, leadership weakness, which ultimately lead to outcomes such as permanent conflict at the political system level and deep social inequalities.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the moral and ethical aspects of corruption as a crime in the field of international trade and to identify international norms for dealing with them. The most important questions that this article intends to address are: Is the corruption that exists in the conclusion of international business contracts in the legality of the conclusion of the contract? What are the most important examples of corruption in international trade? What is the most important anti-corruption solution in international business contracts and in general, international trade? The results of the research show that the involvement of illegally brokers and brokers in international commercial contracts leads to the invalidation and ineffectiveness of these contracts due to their influence and the existence of bribes. Bribery, leakage, transaction collusion, fraud and fraud, commercial exploitation, illicit proceeds, money laundering, theft and seizure of property and committing other financial distortions by public officials and abuse of duty are the most important examples of corruption in the field of international trade. The accurate implementation of international instruments and domestic anti-corruption laws and the development of preventive criminal and non-judicial education is the most important way of tackling corruption in international trade.

        The purpose of this research is to test the impact of organization's ethical tools on the prevention of financial corruption in the audit firms. The necessity of establishing ethical care tools in the organization is to a point where many large organizations responded to the legal and environmental pressures by forming a moral culture in their organizations. The present study is descriptive-survey and in time domain of 1395. The studied sample consisted of 330 interviewees among auditors working at the Audit Institutions of the Member of the Public Accountants Association and the Audit Organization. To assess the research hypotheses, the value of probability (T-value) obtained from the fit of the model was statistically significant in terms of parameters and using SPSS and AMOS software. The findings of the research showed that the audit firm's ethical support instruments on professional audit warning, the understanding of professional Iranian auditors from individual responsibility and the consequences of the questioning operation had a significant effect. Also, the findings of the research indicate that the audit firms 'ethical environment is not meaningful on the Iranian professional auditors' perceived costs of reporting. In other words, the findings show that the perception of Iranian professional auditors of individual responsibility for reporting, the understanding of Iranian professional accountants from reporting costs, the perception of Iranian professional auditors from the consequences of the questionable actions on the warning of professional auditors have a meaningful effect in Iran. Also, the results of mediator variables showed that the audit ethical care tools of institutions have a significant effect on the warning of professional auditors through the "taking responsibility for reporting on the individual" in Iran. Besides, the findings of the research showed that the audit firm's ethical care tools did not significantly affect the warning of professional auditors in Iran through the "perception of reporting costs".

        The treatise On Generation and Corruption is one of the treatises on nature which Aristotle wrote in about 347-335 BC. This treatise consists of two books: in the first one, Aristotle introduces generation and corruption as two basic properties of sublunary bodies. The other properties of sublunary bodies include transformation, growth and shrinking, contact, action and interaction, and mixing, which are completely distinct from each other in Aristotle’s view. He rejects absolute generation and corruption and criticizes Empedocles’ theory of equating them with transformation. The second book is mainly devoted to a profound investigation of the four primary elements (water, earth, air, and fire), their nature, and the quality of their changing into each other. Aristotle believes that these elements come into being in a cyclical fashion and none is prior to the other. Ibn Sina divided the existents of the world into four groups of intellects or angels, angelic souls, spherical bodies, and the bodies of the world of generation and corruption. He matched the ontological distinction between immaterial beings and those beings which are coupled with matter and are subject to generation and corruption with the astronomical distinction between the spheres and the sublunary world. Ibn Sina followed Aristotle in this regard. In this paper, the authors analyze the concept of generation and corruption in bodies from the viewpoints of Aristotle and Ibn Sina. They also examine the extent of Aristotle’s influence over Ibn Sina concerning generation and corruption, as well as the latter’s innovations in this regard. Manuscript profile

        Administrative corruption, in all its different forms and with all its harmful consequence, is considered both a moral and a legal problem from the perspective of Islam. This phenomenon originates from personal, economic, cultural, political and judicial factors. Hence, the religion’s strategies to prevent and combat the problem include informal and internal strategies like Taqwa (God-fearing), patience, faith in the Hereafter, social responsibility, etc, as well as official strategies such as political, economic, cultural and judicial ones. This research, with a review of the verses of the holy Quran and the Hadiths (sayings) of the Infallible (AS), explains and clarifies the factors that lead to corruption and ways to combat them. According to the results of this study, Islam has a multifaceted view of the issue of uprooting the causes and origins of administrative corruption and recommends decisive action against such corruption when it happens.

Data analysis was performed with SPSS and Amos software. Data were collected through a questionnaire and the community of experts as a research tool. In order to analyze the data, statistical tests such as Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used. The research findings in the first step show that corruption has a negative and significant effect on organizational commitment. Also, corruption within the government has a negative and significant relationship with the implementation of tax policy.

As a result, organizational commitment reduces the effects of corruption on tax policy implementation. Finally, it was shown that organizational commitment indirectly improves the implementation of tax policies and reduces the effects of corruption. Manuscript profile

Also, at the end of the article, the question of the conflict between the theory of theologians and philosophers is examined and criticized, and the conclusion is that the famous readings of Imami theologians and philosophers are aligned.
