Professional Ethics Code in Accounting constitutes a set of principles and values of everyday conduct of people whose work is connected with accounting. Accounting is an information system of enterprises, so it forms the basis of reliable management. Therefore information generated by accounting must be credible. Otherwise, the managing process would be based on false reports, which in consequence could lead to a fall of an economic subject, or it would at least cause the loss of clients, cooperators and associates` trust. Accounting Association in Poland as an organization with more than one hundred years` tradition for people connected with enterprise accounting out of concern for reliability and fairness of carried out and registered economic transactions, recommended the first in Poland ethics code directed to accountants as a professional group. Professional Ethics Code in Accounting is a set of norms which aim is to help people connected with accounting solve ethical dilemmas appearing in their job. It can be said that this code is, so to speak, an answer to unfair accusations formulated against accountants being (in some people`s opinion) a group of “criminals in white collars”. It is obvious that there are different people with different characters in each society. Pathologies were and will be present everywhere. Accountants` environment is not free of them, which is proved by accounting scandals in Poland and abroad (for example the case of Enron company in the United States). In order to avoid generalizing, it must be underlined that among the ones connected with accounting, there are a lot of honest people caring about the company`s good name.

Research interests of the author focus, among others, on accounting and Catholic social teaching (CST). This paper is motivated by the wish to launch research into these areas by raising the question featuring in the title about the feasibility of interdisciplinary studies covering the above-mentioned fields of research, i.e., accounting and Catholic social teaching. The paper makes an attempt to answer the question, however, whether it needs to be stressed that it just delineates a context for a wider and in-depth discussion that can be continued. Looking at conclusions reached by the author we may agree that it is possible to make references to Catholic social teaching when expanding the body of research knowledge in accounting. The aforesaid can be substantiated by the following arguments. First, CST can be viewed not only as the Catholic Church's doctrine but also as a reflection of research activity. Second, today there is a number of research works that discuss interdisciplinary studies on CST and social sciences, including economics and law. Third, accounting is a social science but at the same time it is an applied science focused, among others, on seeking solutions that would assist humanity and, above all, economic entities in accomplishing goals and meeting requirements set forth for them, which the mankind delivers not just in the economic context but also in the context of the system of values approved and exercised by societies. Fourth, in the literature there are writings that touch upon accounting and its links with ethics, culture, and religion (e.g., studies on accounting and Islam). In view of the above, seeking solutions in accounting (e.g. in reporting) that would meet requirements posed by CST is not in contradiction with to-date threads in research considerations and studies.

Changes occurring in the conditions under which local government units function require the adaptation of the type, scope and frequency of information provided that is used in decision-making processes. In business entities, relevant information used in management is provided by the accounting department and in particular its last stage of reporting. The current accounting system of territorial self-government units is simplified and directed towards the implementation of budgetary tasks and the maintenance of budgetary discipline. Accordingly, the information contained in those companies' reports is incomplete and insufficient for management purposes. Therefore, it would be necessary to transform this system in order to improve the use of information generated in the management process.

In financial management, there are many laws that global companies must follow, generating high finance and accountancy costs. Strategic management is crucial to stay competitive in the global market.

W świecie globalnych korporacji outsourcing części usług biznesowych zyskał na popularności na przestrzeni ostatnich 20 lat. W obszarze zarządzania finansami dominują ograniczenia legislacyjne, za którymi korporacje globalne bezwzględnie muszą podążać, co generuje wysokie koszty obsługi finansowo-księgowej. Wydaje się, że umiejętność zarządzania strategicznego pozwoli globalnym gigantom pozostać konkurencyjnymi pomimo rosnących regulacji, a za tym rosnących kosztów. Nowy model biznesowy jest zdeterminowany znaczącym ograniczeniem kosztów z jednej strony oraz wysoką jakością usług z zakresu finansów i księgowości z drugiej strony; co jest możliwe dzięki określonym zmianom w strukturze organizacji o globalnym zasięgu. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie jak określony, przyjęty przez organizację model biznesowy determinuje zarządzanie korporacyjnymi finansami oraz jak powyższe wpływa na zmianę struktury organizacyjnej korporacji o zasięgu globalnym. Artykuł ten jest próbą uchwycenia nowego trendu wśród korporacji międzynarodowych, polegającego na tworzeniu prawnie odrębnych, ale powiązanych kapitałowo jednostek organizacyjnych dla celów związanych z zarządzaniem finansami i rachunkowością.

The article presents the impact of tax law on accounting estimates. The research comprised all Polish construction companies that are listed (with accessible financial statement) in stock exchange, while the control group was a purposive sample of the biggest British companies from the same trade. The subject of analysis was building depreciation life, the instant asset write-off threshold, and group depreciation. Although companies in both countries prepared their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, it was possible to show that their estimates were inspired by local tax law regulations.

Artykuł przedstawia wpływ prawa podatkowego na założenia przyjmowane w polityce rachunkowości. Badanie przeprowadzono na wszystkich posiadających dostępne sprawozdania finansowe polskich podmiotach budowlanych notowanych na giełdzie, a grupę kontrolną stanowiła dobrana celowo próba największych brytyjskich spółek giełdowych z tej samej branży. Analizie poddano okres amortyzacji budynków, próg jednorazowego odpisu amortyzacyjnego oraz dokonywanie zbiorczych odpisów dla niskocennych środków trwałych. Pomimo iż podmioty w obydwu krajach sporządzały sprawozdania finansowe w oparciu o Międzynarodowe Standardy Sprawozdawczości Finansowej, to możliwe było wykazanie inspiracji w poczynionych założeniach lokalnymi przepisami podatkowymi.

The text discusses the overriding rule of autonomy of the Polish accounting law with respect to the tax law that is in force, and the resulting record-keeping – settlement – finance consequences for subjects having their own businesses. In the text I include the basic definitions and sources of the accounting law and the tax law that are in force in Poland now. I point to the classifications of taxes that are in force in the Polish tax system. I discuss the aims and the rules of the accounting and tax laws being in force. I mention the three types of relations existing between the accounting and tax laws as well as a brief historical outline of the process of reaching autonomy of the accounting law with respect to the tax law. I consider the differences in calculating the financial result in the accounting law and the tax result in the tax law as well as the basic differences between the contents of the definition of the cost and income in the accounting and tax laws. Finally I give actual examples of the consequences of autonomy of the accounting law with respect to the tax law for subjects having their own businesses, especially taking into account the rules of record-keeping provided by the accounting and tax laws. I discuss the lack of clarity in the tax law, and also the growing transaction costs for units having their own businesses in Poland resulting from lack of that clarity and imposition of new duties on economic subjects by the state. I suggest a short introduction to the deferred tax as the basic tool that allows including in the accounts the differences resulting from separate treatment of the cost and income in the accounting and tax laws.
