Очерчены основные вехи в развитии данного общества. Автор статьи представляет изучаемый объект как значимое явление в культурной жизни республики, прослеживая его развитие на протяжении более полувека, начиная с 1958 г. Благодаря деятельности Якутского отделения Всероссийского хорового общества хоровым движением было охвачено практически всё население Якутии. Благодаря сотрудничеству с якутскими композиторами, хоровая музыка стала популярной на уровне трудовых коллективов республики тех лет. Показана роль руководителей регионального отделения разного периода времени – Г.Ф. Таныгина, Ф.А. Баишевой, Л.Е. Архиповой и др. Смена политического строя в стране не лучшим образом отразилась на развитии хорового дела в стране и в республике, в частности, Всероссийское хоровое общество и его региональные отделения перестали существовать, несмотря на его реорганизацию в 1987 г. в Музыкальное общество. В статье впервые описано время, начиная с 2013 г., когда происходило восстановление Якутского отделения Всероссийского хорового общества. Необходимость его возрождения стала очевидной в виду возросшего спроса на организацию хорового дела как массового явления культуры якутского общества. В статье представлены важнейшие мероприятия, проведенные Якутским отделением ВХО, охарактеризованы крупные достижения за последние годы, проанализированы основные проблемы, стоящие перед организацией в переходный восстановительный период, а именно – улучшение финансирования, подготовка кадров. The article is devoted to the study of choral performance in Yakutia, the formation of the Yakut Choral Society, the regional branch of the All-Russian Choral Society. The relevance of this significant for Yakutia phenomenon of musical culture is substantiated. The main milestones in the development of the society are outlined. The author of the article presents the object under study as a significant phenomenon in the cultural life of the republic for more than half a century, starting in 1958. Thanks to the activities of the Yakut branch of the All-Russian Higher Education, the choral movement covered almost the entire population of Yakutia. Thanks to cooperation with Yakut composers, choral music became popular even among teams of co-workers. The role of the leaders of the regional branch – G.F. Tanygin, F.A. Baisheva, L.E. Arkhipova, and others – is shown. The changes in the political system in the country had a detrimental effect on the development of choral art in the country and in the republic, in particular. The RCS and its regional branches ceased to exist despite the attempts to reorganize it in 1987 into the Musical Society. For the first time, the article shows the difficult time when the restoration of the RCS in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) took place, starting in 2013. The need for revival became obvious in view of the increased demand for the organization of choral work as a mass phenomenon of the culture of society. The most important events carried out by the Yakutsk branch of the RCS are presented and the major achievements in recent years are characterized. At the same time, the main problems facing the organization in the transitional recovery period are analyzed: improving funding and training.

Ethical threats and safeguards. The case of statutory auditors in the Gdansk region

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify ethical threats faced by Polish statutory auditors in their professional work and the methods of counteracting these threats, i.e., safeguards ensuring compliance with ethical principles of statutory auditors. Methodology/Approach: Survey research was conducted among 45 statutory auditors from the Regional Branch of the Polish Chamber of Statutory Auditors in Gdansk with the aim of identifying the types of ethical threats and safeguards in the practice of Polish statutory auditors. Findings: Based on the research, it was found that among all types of ethical threats indicated in the survey, statutory auditors indicated the risk of familiarity as the type with which they most often deal. The risk of intimidation was ranked second on the list of threats. When it comes to safeguards used by the audited auditors, they primarily indicated two types, i.e., principles and procedures that enable the identification of interest and business relationship between the firm, the personnel and the client, as well as rotating senior assurance team personnel. Originality/Value: Our study fills the gap in the Polish literature in the field of research on the types of ethical threats in the work of statutory auditors and the safeguards they use. We have audited the occurrence of individual types of ethical threats and assessed which of them appear most often in the practice of statutory auditors, threatening the ethical attitudes of statutory auditors. Our study also enriches the literature by presenting the types of security used by Polish statutory auditors to comply with ethical principles
