The aim of the paper is to give the answer to the question whether neutrality is practically attainable and its critical evaluation as an element of faithful representation. The question is if possible lack of neutrality means earnings management? Estimation of value is an inevitable element of financial statement preparation and quality of estimation done by the manager depends on his or her information, professional experience, attitude toward risk and many other factors. It means that income earned by the business unit, as an accrual category, is always managed to some extent. Since estimation of income is inevitable, markets are not perfect and not fully efficient neutral income does not exist. Accounting income is the basis for evaluation of economic profitability. It seems that neutrality proposed by IASB and FASB is impossible to achieve and even may harm some stakeholders.

The research among FTSE 100 companies showed that public companies listed on one of the major stock market in the world leads the new trails in financial reporting in the scope of additional disclosures on the financial result. Some disclosures comes from the timeless German balance sheet theories, which is exemplified by the Wilhelm Osbahr' balance sheet theory

Współczesny nurt rachunkowości pokazuje wiele nowych założeń, które poczynione zostały z myślą o dostarczeniu precyzyjnych informacji dla rynków finansowych. Wbrew nadrzędnej zasadzie o wyższości treści nad formą sformułowanej w koncepcyjnych założeniach raportowania finansowego często proponowane rozwiązania nie mają wytłumaczenia ekonomicznego i logicznego, powodują natomiast różne skutki finansowe i wpływ na wyniki przedsiębiorstw oraz obraz sytuacji ekonomicznej przedstawiony w sprawozdaniu finansowym. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie genezy i ewolucji bardzo ważnego sprawozdania, jakim jest rachunek zysków i strat według rozwiązań polskich i międzynarodowych oraz przedstawienie podobieństw i różnic w jego ujęciu według rozwiązań krajowych i międzynarodowych. Przyjęte w artykule metody badawcze opierają się na studiach literatury, przeglądzie aktów prawnych, zastosowaniu metody porównań oraz wnioskowaniu.

Financial instruments, including debt securities represent an important group of the bank's assets. The bank classifies purchased debt securities into a specific category, taking into consideration the purpose of a particular security (benefit gained in the short or long term). This classification is made for the needs of valuating financial asset after initial recognition, that is valuation at the balance sheet date and recognition of the valuation effects (gains and losses) in the books of accounts as well as their presentation in the financial statements. Therefore, in the essay it has been demonstrated that the valuation method of debt securities adopted by the bank affects financial result. Particularly important is their valuation at amortized cost using the effective interest rate in the context of introduction (IFRS 9) of the new model of valuation and new method of impairment calculation based on expected losses rather than losses incurred, as it was previously. Reclassification of debt securities (due to changes in the business model) measured at fair value as well as at amortized cost, is also relevant for the financial result.

This study analyzed the factors affecting the performance of 41 non-financial companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) using panel data over the period 2003 to 2013. A Hausman test results suggested the application of a random effects model for ROA and a fixed effects model for ROE. The empirical results of the estimation of both ROA and ROE show that corporate governance was statistically significant in determining the performance of firms and it had the expected sign (Positive). The leverage of the firm also had the expected negative sign and was statistically significant in explaining the performance of companies. Firm size and liquidity were however found to be statistically insignificant in determining the performance of these firms. Consistent with previous studies, the study concluded that board size, board independence and liquidity are key determinants of a firm’s financial performance. Consequently, the study recommends that a firm should ensure optimal board size, board independence (i.e increase the number of non-executive directors and sound liquidity management.The study recommends comparative studies to be undertaken on the factors influencing the financial performance of the financial and non-financial companies listed at the Nairobi securities exchange as well as those not listed. In addition, it recommends that further studies could be extended to analyze the factors affecting the performance of companies at cross-country level such as within the East African Community.

The readiness to sacrifice profit while making socially responsible investments among millennials, as future investors and managers, was examined. Specifically, a multi-level perspective on willingness to pay for socially responsible investment was assumed to understand how nationality, personal values and investment knowledge affect millennials’ readiness to sacrifice profit to achieve sustainability goals. Using survey data of 521 business students from Italy, Poland and Ukraine, it is showed that a considerable share of millennials prefer social and environmental performance of investment over financial return and that their nationality is the most powerful factor in explaining willingness to pay for socially responsible investment along with their sensitivity to environmental issues that takes the leading role among all personal values motivating investors to accept lower rates of return. The results can be relevant for financial institutions aiming at developing socially responsible investment products. Policy implications of the results are insights into nationality-related tensions while Europe-wide regulation of socially responsible investment could enter into force.

Celem badania było określenie ryzyka niewypłacalności i ocena współzależności pomiędzy wskaźnikami ryzyka a ich determinantami (czynnikami) klubów ekstraklasy piłki nożnej w Polsce w latach 2017-2019. Badania podzielono na dwa etapy. W pierwszym określono ryzyko niewypłacalności w znaczeniu finansowym, prawnym i rachunkowym. W drugim na podstawie przeglądu literatury i dostępnych danych zidentyfikowano determinanty ryzyka niewypłacalności zawodowych klubów piłki nożnej oraz przeprowadzono ocenę korelacji pomiędzy wskaźnikami a czynnikami ryzyka. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że kluby piłki nożnej ekstraklasy funkcjonowały w warunkach niewypłacalności, a w niektórych stan niewypłacalności miał charakter trwały. Badanie potwierdziło wnioski z przeglądu dotychczasowej literatury, iż przychody ze sprzedaży netto oraz wyniki sportowe są pozytywnie skorelowane z ryzykiem niewypłacalności. Obserwowane zależności są typowe dla większości zawodowych klubów piłki nożnej na świecie i nie budzą wątpliwości. Zastrzeżenia budzi jednak gospodarka finansowa klubów. Środki finansowe uzyskiwane z działalności finansowej są wykorzystywane przez kluby nie do rozwoju i wzrostu wartości spółki, lecz do utrzymania płynności finansowej w celu przetrwania.

The aim of the article was to estimate the risk of insolvency and the interdependence between risk indicators and their determinants (factors) in the clubs of the major football league in Poland in the years 2017-2019. The research included two stages. In the first stage, insolvency risk was calculated in the financial, legal and accounting sense of the term. In the second stage, basing on the review of literature and available data, determinants of insolvency risk for professional football clubs were identified and correlation was calculated between the risk indicators and risk factors. The results show that the football clubs of the premier league were functioning in the conditions of insolvency, and in several clubs the state of insolvency was permanent. The research confirms the conclusions drawn from the literature review that net sales revenues and sport results are positively correlated with the insolvency risk. These relationships are typical for most professional football clubs in the world and are easy to explain. Reservations may be raised against the financial management of the clubs. Financial means obtained by the clubs from their financial activity are used not for the development of the company and raising its market value, but for maintaining financial liquidity in order to survive.

Zagadnienie wydajności działania jednostek samorządowych w ramach sektora publicznego ostatnio cieszy się coraz większą popularnością, ponieważ samorządom powierza się coraz więcej zadań, wprowadzając jednocześnie ograniczenia budżetowe. Zarządzanie pieniędzmi podatników na tym poziomie staje się zatem coraz większym wyzwaniem. Z kolei coraz bardziej świadome społeczeństwo wywiera na samorządowcach presję, domagając się od nich większej odpowiedzialności i transparentności działań.Celem niniejszego opracowania jest ułatwienie – za pomocą przeanalizowania i znormalizowania wybranych wskaźników finansowych na poziomie lokalnym – władzom samorządowym stworzenia rankingu najbardziej i najmniej efektywnych jednostek samorządowych w Macedonii. Ustanowienie łatwo porównywalnego wskaźnika pozwoli na identyfikację sposobu wydatkowania środków oraz ustalenie, jakie dobre praktyki stosowane są w najbardziej wydajnych jednostkach. Czynnikiem ograniczającym możliwości badania okazała się słaba dostępność danych.Autorka ma nadzieję, że niniejsze opracowanie przyczyni się do zwiększenia zainteresowania opisywanym zagadnieniem badaczy z regionu bałkańskiego, którzy nie poświęcają mu wystarczajaco dużo uwagi.

Local government performance within public sector performance is coming back because local government is faced with the problem of increased responsibilities under tighter budgets. Therefore, the issues of managing taxpayers’ money more efficiently and effectively still remain a challenge for local government decision makers. In addition, increased social inclusion has created a need for increased accountability and transparency towards local government managers.This paper aims to facilitate decision makers as well as local government officials to offer a ranking system of local government units (LGUs/municipalities) in Macedonia by analyzing and normalizing some of the main financial indicators that make up the final annual accounts of all LGUs in Macedonia. The output of this work is a local government index showing the best and worst performing municipalities in the country. The provision of one aspect of LG government performance allows all local government stakeholders to have an overview of the budget spent as well as identify some best practices by comparatively identifying the practices of the best performing LGUs. However, the data availability has narrowed the scope of this performance ranking.We hope that this study will contribute modestly to the existing literature of the performance in the public sector and specifically in that of the local government sector. There is an increasing interest in studies related to public sector performance. However, this interest has been very little in Balkan Countries.
