Significant changes are being made to the way independent auditors report audit results. They are generally oriented towards the broader context in which the auditors worked to analyse their conclusions more effectively. What is particularly interesting in this context is the auditor's duty to present Key Audit Matters (KAMs) concerning areas of the highest risk. In light of the above, the purpose of this article is to present the extent to which changes have been implemented in independent auditors' reports from the audits of the financial statements of the largest companies on the Polish market and to identify both the key audit matters as well as the verification procedures applied by auditors. Auditors' opinions from the audits of consolidated financial statements of the 30 largest companies listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange for the years 2014–2016 were analysed in detail. The total sample comprised 90 opinions. The research methodology consisted mainly of case studies, with deductive and inductive reasoning used to formulate conclusions based on the analysis and synthesis method. The results of this research indicate that some independent auditors have been implementing new elements of reporting on a current basis. An analysis of the contents of their opinions has shown that the auditors mainly include the estimates of asset impairment, the recognition of sales, the disclosure of claims, disputed matters and con-tingent liabilities as well as accounting for deferred income tax assets in Key Audit Matters. Auditors also give quite detailed reasons for selecting the specific KAM and the verification techniques used.

Audit Reports

The main purpose of the article is to categorize key audit matters (KAM) of a financial statement and to determine the frequency of their occurrence. The research method is based on analyzing annual consolidated financial statements (annual reports) and the reports of the independent auditor, which were published in the last 12-month period available as at the day of examination (the periods mainly ended December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018). Deductive and inductive reasoning, using analysis and synthesis methods, were used to formulate the results. The research was performed for 156 companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The analysis covered all companies from the following ten sector indices (WIG): construction, IT, real estate, food, utilities, oil & gas, mining, energy, automotive and chemicals. Targeting the scope of the research to all entities listed within the ten sector indices (WIG), and conducting the analysis based on the latest market data, demonstrates the originality and usefulness of the article.

The Republic

The aim of the research is to achieve a conclusion what is the level of the reporting practice on intangible assets in two countries - in the Republic of Serbia and in the Republic of Slovenia trough a comparative descriptive statistics. Consolidated financial statements of listed companies in these two countries were used from the Belgrade Stock Exchange (Serbia) and the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (Slovenia). The reason for the use of consolidated financial statements lies in the fact that they can contain unconsolidated intangible assets already recognized in the separate financial statements of the companies included in the group, as well as internally generated intangible assets that meet the conditions for recognition in a business combination (including Goodwill). The general assessment is that the survey results indicate a very low level of reporting practice of intangible assets in Serbia and relatively satisfactory level of reporting practice in Slovenia. Individual results are given in the fourth part of the paper.

Accounting Principles

The operation of a financial reporting system is very expensive. In all areas where costs arise, it is important to examine whether the benefits exceed the costs or not. The objectives of financial reporting in Hungary are specified by Act C of 2000 on Accounting (HLA). In this paper, we will show these objectives and the defined accounting principles, as well. With the help of previous research, we have reviewed how accounting quality is measured. The aim of this research is to examine the difference in accounting quality between the publicly listed and private companies in Hungary and develop an evaluation process that takes due account of the complexity of the topic. To this end, we studied the separate (non-consolidated) financial statements of 63 Hungarian com- panies during the period of 1998-2016. Forty-seven percent of the statements were disclosed by public companies and fifty-three percent were disclosed by private companies. The examined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the HLA. To evaluate the data, we examined accruals, timely loss recognition, the vola- tility of earnings, cash flow and earnings management towards target. To summarize the results, we developed an evaluation model which is based on the basic accounting principles and the above-mentioned methods. We found that publicly listed companies have higher accounting quality compared to private companies.

Financial Result

The main purpose of this article is to determine the impact of changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities on the overall net result of selected banks listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The research covered the consolidated financial statements of five banks, for the years 2014-2018. Methods of analyzing the literature on the subject, financial statements, and legal acts, including selected IFRS, were used. It has been shown that, on the one hand, fair value revaluations have a significant impact on the financial result of the described entities; on the other hand, the fair value in these entities is determined mainly at the 1st level of the hierarchy. This means that the basis for determining the fair value is observable prices on the market, and that the impact of subjective estimates on the financial result is small.
