budgeting, focusing on their roles in enhancing transparency and reducing corruption. The research employs a mixed-method
approach, utilizing secondary data analysis from government reports, academic literature, and case studies from 2020 to 2024.
The findings reveal a strong correlation (r = 0.999, p < 0.001) between the transparency index and the corruption perception index,
demonstrating that digital tools significantly improve financial oversight. Regression analysis confirms that every million-dollar
investment in digital transformation increases transparency by 0.82 points (p < 0.001), while blockchain adoption correlates
negatively with fraud cases (r = -0.993, p < 0.001). The chi-square test (χ² = 88.87, p < 0.001) establishes blockchain as a critical tool
for fraud reduction, cutting recorded fraud cases by 53% between 2020 and 2024. Despite technical and regulatory challenges,
strategic investments in digital infrastructure and legal frameworks can maximize these technologies’ potential. The study
recommends phased adoption, capacity building, and enhanced cybersecurity measures to ensure sustainability. These findings
contribute to public finance management by offering empirical evidence on the role of emerging technologies in fostering
transparency and accountability in government budgeting.
assessment accuracy and financial inclusion. A quantitative research design was employed, analyzing secondary data from 2020 to
2024. Logistic regression, multiple linear regression, and support vector machines were applied to assess their predictive power.
Findings indicate that logistic regression achieved an 85.3% accuracy rate (AUC = 0.78), while advanced models like support vector
machines and neural networks yielded 92.3% and 91.1% accuracy, respectively. Key predictors of creditworthiness included credit
history length (-0.74 correlation with default rate), income level (-0.52), and age (-0.26). The overall correlation coefficient between
predictor variables and credit risk was -0.62, confirming a strong inverse relationship. The study concludes that while logistic regression
remains a robust credit scoring tool, hybrid models incorporating machine learning techniques offer superior predictive performance. It
recommends integrating alternative credit data, regular model updates, and bias-mitigation strategies to enhance credit risk
assessment and ensure equitable access to finance
environments from 2020 to 2024. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of traditional and enhanced GARCH variants,
including EGARCH and TGARCH, in capturing market volatility dynamics. A comprehensive methodology involving empirical
analysis of financial market data, statistical modeling, and hybrid integration with machine learning techniques was employed.
The findings indicate strong volatility persistence across years, with beta values consistently above 0.80, confirming the suitability
of GARCH models for HFT markets. Model accuracy was validated using RMSE and MAE metrics, demonstrating superior
predictive performance in 2021 and 2024. The study also revealed that integrating machine learning with GARCH models
significantly improved forecasting accuracy, reducing RMSE by 12% on average. A correlation coefficient of 0.92 between
GARCH-predicted and actual volatility further validated the robustness of these models. Despite challenges such as
microstructure noise and data nonstationarity, enhancements in noise reduction techniques and real-time parameter adjustments
have bolstered model effectiveness. The study concludes that while GARCH models remain fundamental tools for volatility
forecasting, integrating advanced computational techniques is essential for optimizing predictive capabilities in high-frequency
trading environments. Recommendations include adopting machine learning-enhanced GARCH models, implementing noisereduction techniques, and developing real-time calibration strategies to improve forecasting precision
evolving from basic manual checks to complex systems driven by technological
advancements. In "The Untold Audit Truth," the intricacies of auditing's evolution are
