Accounting policy is an internal document that contains data to ensure effective accounting, preparation and presentation of financial information, which is developed to combine with management decisions. The use of accounting policies should be consistently for similar transactions, other events or conditions. An entity has the right to change accounting policies only with the documentation of changes and their foundation. Cases in which it is possible to change the use to the accounting policies can be voluntary and mandatory. Accountants should use the theoretical and methodological aspects set out in UAS 6 “Error Correction and Changes in Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” to reflect properly changes in the accounting policies. Due to detailed analysis of these standards, IAS 8 was found to consist all needed methodology of accounting policy changes. The international standard gives variable instructions on: financial statements data change due to the event of factors that exist on this balance sheet; information to be covered in the notes (disclosure) to financial statements; accounting estimate changes, etc. International and national standards disclose changes and amendments to the accounting policies. This fact is very important for the users of the accounting policies and financial statements, as the amendment does not provide any financial statements data change. The company should clearly understand the difference between changes in the accounting policies and accounting estimates, know due to what circumstances retrospective application of changes in the accounting policies is impossible and how reflect them properly in a prospective way. To ease understanding of the described processes an algorithm for using changes in accounting policies according to international and national standards was developed. This will improve the quality of information presented in the financial statements of the company and as a result of using these data top management will make effective decisions.

The financial statements, as the end product of the accounting information system, are a structural account of the financial position and financial success of an entity's business over a period. Earnings or net profit indicates an important position in the financial statements and is considered as a measure of a company’s success. Earnings management comes from the accounting skills that executives and business owners use when making business decisions. The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles set out in International Accounting Standards (hereinafter IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter referred to as IFRS) generally give the owner or manager the choice between several accounting methods within the various stages of the accounting process. One of these methods is creative accounting, which is often correlated with the manipulation of financial statements. Creativity in accounting is known to be legal and to stay within the legal framework, but it is often the case that, with its creativity, it is beyond its boundaries. The way managers exercise this discretion is very important to the quality and objectivity of financial reporting.The tendency of the owners, and then the managers, to show the performance of the company better than they really are, is certainly not new. The reason that in the world from the beginning of the 2000s to the present day, both by the scientific and professional public and by the regulatory bodies in charge of financial reporting, particular attention is paid to this problem are the major political and economic scandals caused by the inaccurate presentation of financial statements. It is considered that manipulative accounting practices are applied in the preparation of financial statements when the application of accounting principles is made with the intention of achieving the desired objective, such as, for example, generating greater profit regardless of whether the procedures selected are in accordance with international and local prescribed rules.The prevalence of manipulation of financial statements depends on the situation in the environment, the quality of the normative basis of financial reporting, the quality of management and the ability of accountants to comply with professional and ethical standards. The environment implies the general economic situation, the existence or absence of appropriate legislation, including its implementation, as well as the relation to tax liabilities.The result of the original empirical research is presented in this paper. The research was conducted in the form of a case study of a domestic business entity (the Republic of Serbia), whose main activity is trade in sports and fashion products. The financial analysis was performed using the Beneish model, which was derived from the official financial statements of the companies, collected from publicly available databases (Balance Sheet and Income Statement 2016-2018) as the basic information base in order to discover the degree of possible manipulation of their own earning capacity. This model has become particularly popular since the Beneish M-scoring model revealed the manipulation of the financial results of the US company Enron, which went bankrupt in 2001.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the brake control elements of passenger vehicles on the stability of their braking properties. The analysis of the influence of uneven braking forces on the wheels of one axle of vehicles on the deviation of the distribution of braking forces between the axles from its calculated value is carried out. When assessing the error in regulating the distribution of braking forces between the axles of vehicles, three components were taken into account: the theoretical error due to the imperfection of the selected control method (the difference between the actual calculated control characteristic from the ideal), the error created due to the instability of the ratio of the braking forces on the front and rear wheels, an additional error caused by the unevenness of the braking forces on the wheels of individual axles, since the fulfillment of the most stringent requirements of international and national standards for the efficiency of braking of vehicles and is inextricably linked with the need to increase the energy consumption of brake mechanisms. The energy consumption of braking mechanisms is understood as the ability of the latter to dissipate the greatest amount of energy of the braking machine without reducing the braking efficiency indicators to the minimum permissible level. Excessive heating of the braking mechanisms leads to a decrease in the friction coefficient μ of the friction surfaces and increased wear of the friction linings, and the brakes are the most unstable element of the braking control, which ensures the absorption and dissipation of the vehicle's energy during braking. The instability of the braking torques on the front and rear wheels, caused by a change in the coefficients of friction of friction pairs, leads not only to a change in the distribution of braking forces between the axles and individual wheels, but also to a decrease in the braking efficiency of vehicles under operating conditions. A method is proposed that makes it possible to assess the quality of regulation of the distribution of braking forces between the axles of a car, taking into account the instability of the braking forces on the wheels.

Eggs of Ambystoma maculatum in early stages of development were separated into two groups and maintained at 5 and 14 °C, respectively. In one series of animals comprising both temperature groups, the right otic vesicle was extirpated at stage 27. In another series the right forelimb disc was extirpated at stage 30. Following operation, animals of both groups were kept at 18 °C. Frequency and extent of reconstitution were compared between the two temperature groups. The 5° group was superior to the 14° group in the number of ears and forelimbs reconstituted. The extent of ear reconstitution and the initial quality of forelimb reconstitution were also superior in the 5° group. Statistical analysis of the data indicates that the difference between the two temperature groups is highly significant in both series. It is concluded that a slower pre-operative rate of development, caused by hypothermia, enhances the regenerative capacity of both ear and forelimb fields in the salamander embryo.

Abstract   One of the main principles to ensure economic transactions more efficient and effective is the principle of justice felt by the economic actors. The principle of justice can only be realized if each economic actor mutually agreed upon value (value) of goods and services as well as the currency unit in every economic transaction. In other words, the exchange of (exchange) would not happen if there is no agreement on the value of the underlying economic exchange. In this case, efficient or not an economic system will be determined by how objects are interchangeable assessed. Conditions ‘over-valued’ or ‘under-valued’ of object-exchange will certainly make the transaction does not run efficiently and optimally. Conditions ‘over-valued’ will be very detrimental to consumers and profitable producer or seller. The difference in prices due to ‘over-valued’ is a reflection of the inefficiency of an economy, because consumers should get cheaper products and services. Exchange process in a transaction that took place between economic actors was based on the agreement the fair value of the goods and services both private and state. Fair value (fair value) is basically a reflection of the market value (Market value) of assets. When the fair value opinion generated by the Valuer carried out correctly, of course, will increase improve the quality of financial statements. This is because the value of corporate assets truly reflect the conditions (market value) up to date, so that the company’s assets will not be reported undervalued or overvalued. The problem is, until now we have not had conditions governing special assessment. No new judging partially regulated in the Capital Market Law, Banking and Insurance. In the case there are still many areas that need adjustment of business judgment. The question is, what arrangements benefit assessment?   Kata kunci: Aspek Hukum Penilaian Harga Wajar

<p class="Style2">To be able to achieve good corporate governance, in addition to managerial ownership, institutional ownership and board of directors, the role of the audit committee also needed to further enhance the quality of information contained in the financial statements in accordance with his duties. Good corporate governance is one way to address the practice of earnings management. Study to examine the effect of the mechanisms of good corporate governance on earnings management that uses the data in the Indonesian capital market, still very little is done. Earnings management is a management action in the process of preparing financial statements to influence the level of profit that is displayed. The goal is to improve the welfare of certain parties, which can be identified as an advantage. Earnings management problem is the agency problem that is often triggered by a separation of the role or the difference between the interests of the owners (shareholders) with managing the company's management.</p>

In this paper, we focus on the disclosure of pension liabilities for entities referred to in Italian Legislative Decree 30 June 1994 no. 509 (also called &ldquo;old funds&rdquo; for professionals), which is crucial for a suitable communication. After illustrating the limits of current statutory financial statements&rsquo; in relation to the information they provide on pension benefit obligations, we propose three potential solutions to bridge the gap. Each of these proposals helps ensure the completeness and clarity of financial reporting and improves upon the informational capacity and quality of disclosure. In our opinion, one of these approaches, in particular, would be preferred because of its ease of adoption. Indeed, the disclosure in the explanatory notes allows for the quantification of pension benefit obligations, and hence a more proper evaluation of entities in the medium/long- term, with no impact on annual economic-financial results as reported in the balance sheet and the income statement.

The study scope is to present the typology of the events analyzed through our research and their impact on the quality of reported financial data. The objectives of the study are to analyze the vulnerability of enterprises according to methodological criteria such as risks and calculations of the risk profile, as well as to establish the necessary measures for correcting the accounting errors based on the conclusions drawn from the analysis. The method used is prospective, financial analysis of the data taken from the financial statements of the companies included in the sample, dynamic for a period of 6 years (2011–2016). Based on the method used, a risk model has been conceptualized to identify the vulnerabilities and risks reported in the financial statements and to define a company risk profile based on which error correction measures can be adopted. Considering the amplitude of the necessary check-ups and the methodology of the imposed accounting treatments, we believe that the topic addressed is a real area of interest for the professional accountants because it organizes the application procedures and limits the impact of errors on the quality of financial reporting in Romania.

The agricultural supply chain consists of many participants like producer (generally farmer), consumer (people who buy the product and consume them), wholesalers, and retailers. This system consists of many levels of mediator parties as well which have different policies of the commission. Due to the difference in these policies, the producers do not get their fair share of price. Due to the varying prices, consumers also suffer as they do not get the right quality of the product for the right price. There are no central records maintained regarding the transactions between the participants which could lead to many serious problems. To tackle the above-mentioned issues, we need a holistic approach that can provide solutions to most of the above issues. Here, blockchain-based solution can be used to achieve traceability (we can trace the whereabouts of the product, the origin of the product, etc.), transparency (so that a sense of trust is achieved), fairness (by removing the intermediaries), assurance of food safety and pricing (so that nobody has to bear the loss).
