Similarly, H02 indicated a significant effect of cloud accounting on the data efficiency of financial information quality, supported by studies that emphasizing the direct influence of information technology on data quality and efficiency. Furthermore, H03 revealed a notable impact on the data mining of financial information quality, corroborated by research highlighting the facilitative role of cloud computing in accessing and managing data. Overall, the study concludes that cloud accounting has a statistically significant and positive effect on data storage, data efficiency, and data mining in the selected UAE firms.
