Decyzje finansowe są podejmowane głównie w oparciu o informacje zawarte w corocznych sprawozdaniach finansowych podmiotów gospodarczych. Istotnym elementem jest wybór metody oceny kondycji finansowej analizowanego przedsiębiorstwa. Nowoczesne koncepcje wskazują na szereg wad wskaźnikowej oceny sytuacji finansowej podmiotów gospodarczych i proponują alternatywne rozwiązania w tym zakresie. Głównym celem niniejszego opracowania jest próba wykazania niedoskonałości wskaźnikowej oceny kondycji finansowej przedsiębiorstw, która jest oparta na danych księgowych, oraz wykazanie większej obiektywności ekonomicznych miar, opartych na mechanizmie zysku rezydualnego i ekonomicznej wartości dodanej (EVA). Do realizacji celu została sformułowana hipoteza badawcza, zgodnie z którą ocena kondycji finansowej spółek z sektora energetycznego Enea i Energa za pomocą metod tradycyjnych (wskaźniki finansowe) oraz mechanizmu ekonomicznej wartości dodanej może przynieść znacząco różniące się wyniki. Analiza została przeprowadzona dla okresu 2012–2015. Dane pochodzą głównie ze sprawozdań finansowych i z informacji spoza sprawozdań w zakresie kosztu kapitału własnego oraz obcego.

In order to achieve this purpose, the research hypothesis was formulated, according to which the analysis of the financial condition (profitability) of insurance companies PZU and Warta gives the same results, using traditional (financial ratios), as well as alternative methods (the concept of Economic Value Added), and that smaller company (Warta) achieves higher level of operational efficiency than the larger company.

System ubezpieczeniowy jest istotnym elementem systemu finansowego państwa. Funkcjonowanie podmiotów tego systemu jest ściśle regulowane oraz monitorowane przez specjalnie powołaną do tego instytucję, czyli Komisję Nadzoru Finansowego. Podmioty rynku ubezpieczeniowego mają obowiązek zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa powierzonych im przez klientów środków. Poziom składek musi być kalkulowany w taki sposób, aby zapewniał płynność finansową towarzystwa oraz pozwalał na osiągnięcie oczekiwanego poziomu rentowności. W artykule zaprezentowana została analiza kondycji finansowej dwóch podmiotów rynku ubezpieczeniowego w Polsce: największego ubezpieczyciela, czyli PZU oraz firmy Warta. Wykorzystane zostały metody klasyczne, czyli wskaźniki finansowe oraz metoda alternatywna, w tym wypadku jest to Ekonomiczna Wartość Dodana. Dzięki wykorzystaniu dwóch metod analizy możliwa będzie odpowiedź na pytanie, czy zastosowanie dwóch różnych metod oceny kondycji finansowej przyniesie podobne rezultaty w zakresie sytuacji finansowej badanych podmiotów. Analizy przeprowadzone metodą tradycyjną (wskaźniki rentowności) i jednocześnie metodą EVA potwierdziły hipotezę, iż spółka PZU jest w lepszej kondycji finansowej niż jeden z jej największych konkurentów z branży ubezpieczeniowej.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja ewolucji regulacji prawnych w zakresie funkcjonowania OFE, ocena wpływu ustawowych zmian na ich potencjał finansowy oraz ich wpływ na poziom zgromadzonych środków przez członków OFE na poczet przyszłych emerytur. Sformułowana została hipoteza badawcza, zgodnie z którą aktualnie obowiązujące regulacje prawne spowodowały znaczne zmniejszenie roli OFE jako inwestorów finansowych w Polsce, a poziom aktualnie przekazywanych składek do ich portfeli spowoduje uzyskanie stopy zastąpienia przez ich klientów na bardzo niskim poziomie, co powinno uczynić inwestowanie w III dobrowolnym filarze emerytalnym bardziej powszechnym.

Szkolnictwo wyższe jest jednym z najważniejszych obszarów w rozwoju każdego kraju, zarówno w ujęciu rozwoju kapitału ludzkiego, jak i w kategoriach ekonomicznych (np. wzrost PKB). Autorzy w artykule koncentrują się na problemach, jakie stają przed zarządzającymi niepublicznymi uczelniami wyższymi. W części teoretycznej została zaprezentowana istota prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej oraz metody oceny poziomu rentowności w działalności podmiotów gospodarczych. Część empiryczna obejmuje analizy przeprowadzone przez Dział Controllingu Finansowego niepublicznej uczelni wyższej w zakresie poziomu jej rentowności. Wyniki analiz w sposób czytelny pokazują, że kluczowym źródłem finansowania badanej instytucji są przychody z czesnego, w szczególności wnoszonego przez studentów niestacjonarnych, dzięki którym możliwe jest finansowanie i realizowanie misji i wizji uczelni, pokrywanie deficytowych studiów w formie stacjonarnej, a także wypracowanie nadwyżki finansowej, dzięki której instytucja ma środki na rozwój i inwestycje.

The aim of the article is to investigate the impact of algorithmic trading on the returns obtained in the context of market efficiency theory. The research hypothesis is that algorithmic trading can contribute to a better rate of return than when using passive investment strategies. Technological progress can be observed in many different aspects of our lives, including investing in capital markets where we can see changes resulting from the spread of new technologies. The methodology used in this paper consists in confronting a sample trading system based on classical technical analysis tools with a control strategy consisting in buying securities at the beginning of the test period and holding them until the end of this period. The results obtained confirm the validity of the theory of information efficiency of the capital market, as the active investment strategy based on algorithmic trading did not yield better results than the control strategy.
