Regard to the extent and complexity of the budgeting process, trying to identify the factors affecting justice heed has the great importance. In this study have tried series of affecting factors during open and semi-structured interviews with budgeting experts has identified. The method of the study was grounded theory. Snow-ball sampling continued until complete data saturation. Open and semi-structured interviews held with experts of the Country Management and Planning Organization (those in charge of formulating the budget bill and analysts of budget document are considered as the main informants). Data analysis was done through coding (open, axial and selective). Findings suggest that two major categories of “national and trans-regional factors” and “regional and provincial factors”, each containing different categories, affect justice development directly or indirectly through budgeting system and allocation of public budget.

Research statistical society were used from internal audit directors and staff from university of Payame Noor financial, administrative and budgetary departments and sample elected from province center and central organization of Payame Noor University. Internal audit effectiveness in public sector tested with implementing variables such as organizational independence, formal mandate, unrestricted access, sufficient funding, management perception from internal auditing, competent staff, management support and compliance with professional audit standards. Results show that internal audit effectiveness is positively related to compliance with professional audit standards, unrestricted access, formal mandate, top management support and competent staff. We found no relation between organizational independence and management perception from internal auditing with internal audit effectiveness.Sufficient funding has a positive relation with control function of and negative relation by risk management function. Based on conclusions it’s suggested that internal audit standards should codify and this principle requires top management support and trained staff. Internal audit as a culture should be going in public organizations where the financial and non-financial unrestricted access of them is possible and they have organizational independence.

Nowadays, advances in human knowledge have also influenced marketing, with the emergence of a new field called neural marketing. In this way, it is believed that the study of the biological and physical brain is the most important way to understand the behavior of the buyers of the product or service. The purpose of this study is to design a model for attracting clients with a nerve marketing approach to attract customers in the bank. To achieve this goal, qualitative methodology has been used. The process of collecting and analyzing data in three stages including open coding, axial coding and selective coding led to the selection of categories. Generally, in the coding stage, 55 open source codes were identified. In the open coding step, the data was collected through a visit to the branches of the banks, observation of various processes in providing customer service, negotiation and interviews with banking experts, managers and experts of the bank. In the central coding step, 36 concepts were formed as the concepts of research. Finally, there were 9 items in the selection process using the Farsi constant comparison of categories. In this research, the participants' viewpoints are the implementation of neural marketing and its use as a tool to increase the attraction of customers in banks.
