Bakgrund och problem: Det är viktigt att företag tillämpar korrekt intäktsredovisning genom efterföljande avgrundläggande regler och principer enligtgod redovisningssed. Vårdsektorn är utpekad gällande indikationer på bristfällig intäktsredovisning och beskattning där bland annat Skatteverket har granskat företag inom vårdbranschen. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det finns indikationer på felaktig intäktsredovisning inom vårdsektorn. Avgränsningar: Studien avgränsas till att studera samtliga 42 börsbolag inom vårdsektorn på Nasdaq OMX STO, även kallad Stockholmsbörsen, under åren 2008 till 2015. Teori och tidigare forskning: Denna studie har utgångspunkt i Bengtssons forskning. Vidare behandlas intäktsredovisningsom kopplas till periodiserad redovisning. Därefter beaktas forskning och utveckling samt dess utgifter. Ytterligare teorier som behandlas är kassaflödesanalys som kopplas till kassagenerering. Avsnittet beaktar även vinstmanipulering med fokus på Big Bath. Metod: Studien är kvantitativ där beräkningar genomförs utifrån ett flertal årsredovisningar under en åttaårsperiod, longitudinell design. Utformningen i studien är deduktiv där utgångspunkten ärteorier och tidigare forskning. Studiens bortfall innefattar elva företag. Empiri och analys: Empiripresenteras gemensamt med analys där det även ges kort presentation av studiens respektive företag. Analysensfrämsta fokus är på 2015 års kvot. Slutsats: Av studiens 31 undersökta företag inom vårdsektorn på Stockholmsbörsen uppfyller 18 företag Bengtssons teori gällande att kvoten bör förbättras och närma sig kvotvärdet 1 under en längre tidsperiod.De resterande 13 företagen uppfyller däremot inte Bengtssons teori, vilket indikerar på felaktig och subjektiv intäktsredovisning och därmed är fortsatt granskningaktuellav dessa företag. Förslag till vidare forskning: Förslag till vidare forskning är att studera företag under dess hela livstid för att undersöka hur kvoten förhåller sig till 1 samt bakomliggande orsaker, alternativt studera en annan sektor där det finns indikationer på felaktig intäktsredovisning. / Background and problems: It is important that companies apply correct revenue recognition by following the basic rules and principles by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The healthcare sector is alleged by regarding indications of inadequate revenue recognition and taxationamong which the Swedish Tax Agency has examined companies in the healthcare industry. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether there are indications of incorrect revenue recognition in the healthcare sector. Demarcation: The study is limited to studying all 42 listed companies in the healthcare sector of Nasdaq OMX STO between 2008 and 2015. Theory and previous research: This study is based on Bengtsson's research. Furthermore, revenue recognition is associated with accrued accounting. Subsequentlyresearch and development are taken into consideration as well as their expenses. Further theories that is treated are cash flow analysis that is linked to cash generation. This section also considering earnings management focusing on Big Bath. Method: It is aquantitativestudyand calculations are carried out on the basis of several annual reports for an eight-year period, longitudinal design. The study is designed in a deductive way where the outset is theories and previous research. The disappearance of the study includes eleven companies. Empirical and analysis: Empirical is presented in common with analysis, where there also is a short presentation of each company. The analysis main focus is on the 2015 yearsquota. Conclusion: Of the study's 31 surveyed companies in the healthcare sector on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, 18 companies follows Bengtsson's theory that the quota should be improved and approachthe quota value1 over a longer period. The remaining13 companies does not follow Bengtsson's theory, which indicatesincorrect and subjective revenue recognition and accordingly needs a further inspection. Proposals for further research: Proposals for further research are to study companies throughout their lifetime to investigate how the quota relates to 1 as well as underlying causes, alternatively study another sector where there are indications of incorrect revenue recognition.

The South African Income Tax Act (58 of 1962) does not specifically deal with the tax treatment of receipts resulting from illegal activities. Expenditure resulting from illegal activities is also only partly dealt with in terms of Section 23(o) of the Income Tax Act. This has resulted in uncertainty pertaining to the normal income tax treatment of illegal activities within a South African context. In response to this, the South African Revenue Service has issued a draft interpretation note dealing with the tax consequences of embezzlement and theft of money for both the victim as well as the offender during 2013. This draft interpretation note also deals with the normal tax consequences of illegal receipt in the hands of the thief. In an attempt to evaluate this draft interpretation note to clarify the tax consequences of illegal activities in South Africa, the meaning of illegal receipts is firstly determined. Subsequently the concept of „illegal receipts‟ is measured against the definition of „gross income‟ contained in Section 1 of the Income Tax Act. Expenditure relating to illegal activities is also analysed and measured against the general deduction formula contained in Section 11(a) of the Income Tax Act. Relevant principles established from general case law applicable to the definition of gross income as well as the general deduction formula is analysed to determine its applicability within the context of illegal receipts and expenditure. Also, principles established through case law, both nationally and internationally, specifically applicable to the taxation of illegal activities were analysed to establish guidelines that could be applied to clarify the taxability of illegal activities within a South African context. / MCom (South African and International Tax), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Bakgrund: Regelverk inom intäktsredovisningen har under senare decennier genomgått stora förändringar i avsikt att anpassas till internationell standard. Metoder för vinstavräkning har växt fram och använts, men införandet av IFRS 15 innebär att metoderna nu ofta är tvingande inom entreprenadområdet och med de osäkerheter som existerar kan detta komma att påverka tillförlitligheten i redovisningen. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om entreprenadföretagens användning av vinstavräkning och färdigställandegrad leder till tillförlitlig redovisningsinformation. Metod: En kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats har valts. För att undersöka frågeställningen har semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomförs med utvalda företag och därefter har fördjupade intervjuer, med öppna frågor, gjorts med hälften av dessa för att få en djupare insikt. En avstämning av resultatet gjordes genom intervjuer med revisorer. Samtliga intervjuer genomfördes som inspelade videomöten. Teori: Den teoretiska referensramen beskriver redovisningsstandarder och synsätt för intäktsredovisning för entreprenadföretag. Färdigställandegrad samt vinstavräkning beskrivs och avslutningsvis ägnas tillförlitlighetsaspekter stort utrymme. Tidigare vetenskaplig forskning inom ämnet presenteras. Empiri: Den empiri som insamlats består av intervjuer med ekonomichefer och controllers i åtta noterade och onoterade företag som representerar olika företagsstorlek, samt två auktoriserade revisorer. Företagen är verksamma inom infrastruktur och anläggningsentreprenader. Intervjuerna tar upp tillämpning av regelverk och vinstavräkning samt hantering av förändringar under pågående projekt. Slutsatser: Vi har funnit att företagen i studien använder vinstavräkning i flertalet entreprenadprojekt men att införandet av IFRS 15 inte har föranlett eller påverkat detta. I första hand gäller användningen fastprisprojekt, men även vid projekt på löpande räkning och ramavtal används vinstavräkning. Metoden är väletablerad och anses bidra med tillförlitlig information då den vid redovisningstillfället ger en rättvisande bild. Vi har funnit att arbetet med vinstavräkning ingår i en systematisk process där kostnadsprognoser samlas in, bearbetas och redovisningsinformation beräknas. Indata är i vissa fall är svåra att bedöma i början av projekt och vid långa projekt. Genom att indata integreras med existerande projektinformation i ett systemstöd, varefter helheten analyseras genom en intern revision och viss manuell hantering, genereras nya tillförlitliga utdata. Detta uppnås med hjälp av prognosgenomgångar, redovisningssystem och kompetent personal och kan ses som en input-output-process, där steget emellan är den bearbetning som gör att osäkra indata transformeras till tillförlitliga utdata. Processen är i princip lika för alla företag men den genomförs på olika sätt beroende på förutsättningarna. Mindre företag har oftast inte tillgång till avancerat systemstöd och får då ett större personberoende genom mer manuell hantering. Större företag som har mer resurser har också bättre förutsättningar att med hjälp av avancerat systemstöd ta fram tillförlitlig redovisningsinformation och de är mindre känsliga för eventuella felbedömningar. I studien har vi inte kunnat visa att större företag tar fram bättre prognoser, endast att de har det lättare att ta fram dem och att samtliga företag är nöjda med kvaliteten på redovisningsinformationen. / Background: The regulations concerning revenue recognition have in recent decades changed a lot to adapt to international standards. Methods for profit recognition have been developed and are frequently used. Through the introduction of IFRS 15 they are now mandatory to use for many construction companies and since they introduce some uncertainties it could have an impact on the reliability in the accounting. Aim: The purpose of the study is to examine if construction companies use profit recognition and percentage of completion calculations and how they manage to achieve reliability in their accounting. Method: A qualitative study with an inductive approach was chosen to enable deeper understanding on the subject. To examine the topic, semistructured interviews with selected companies were performed, followed by some deeper interviews to achieve sufficient insights. The result was verified by interviews with two auditors. All interviews were performed through recorded video meetings. Theory: The theoretical background includes revenue recognition principles for construction companies, percentage of completion and profit recognition. Research articles on the subject are presented. Empirical: Empirical studies through semi-structured interviews with CFOs and controllers of selected listed and unlisted construction companies of various sizes, and finally with two authorized auditors. On the agenda were questions regarding application of regulations, profit recognition and management of changes in relation to achieving reliable accounting. Conclusions: The percentage of completion method is frequently used in construction projects, and this has not been impacted by the transition to the new IFRS 15 standard. It is mainly used in fixed price projects but occasionally in man/material-based projects and frame agreements. The method is well established and is considered to contribute to reliable accounting information since at the time of reporting a fair value is given. We have established that the percentage of completion calculations are part of a systemic process where cost prognosis data is collected, processed and the output is accounting data. The input prognosis may often be difficult to estimate in long projects or in early days and is often not entirely correct. In the process the input is integrated with existing project data, analyzed, and audited and after some manual interaction new data is produced. This process requires reviews, system support, competent staff and may be regarded as an input-output-process where the step between input and output is where the uncertainties are transformed into reliable output. This process is basically the same for all companies but is performed differently depending on company sizes. Smaller companies do not have access to the same level of system support and must rely more on individuals. The larger companies have an easier way to achieve reliability through advanced systems and they are less sensitive to misjudgments. In the study we have not proved that the larger companies make better prognosis, just that they have an easier way of making them. All interviewed companies are satisfied with the quality of the resulting accounting information.

From time to time the court delivers a judgment that has a ripple effect beyond what was expected, resulting in estate planners reconsidering their planning strategies. Such a judgment was the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in the case of the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Services v Brummeria Renaissance 2007 6 SA 601 (SCA) (Brummeria case). In this case the interest-free loan and the right to use loan capital free of any interest obligation were under scrutiny. The SCA had to rule on whether or not this right had a determinable value and whether or not this value could be taxable in the hands of the borrower. The SCA ruled that the right under an interest-free loan should be included in the gross income of the borrower. Since estate planning often involves the use of an interest-free loan, as estate planning tool, to remove a growth asset from the estate of a planner, it could not be generally accepted any more that the granting of such loan would not have any tax implications. Although the interest-free loans used in the Brummeria case, did not relate to an estate planning exercise, the ruling resulted in much speculation regarding the future of the interest-free loan as estate planning tool. SARS tried to ease the uncertainty by issuing Interpretation Note 58, but there is still uncertainty to some extent. The focus of this mini-dissertation is to explain when and to what extend the provisions of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA) as well as the Estate Duty Act 45 of 1955 (EDA) will apply to the granting of an interest-free loan as part of an estate planning exercise. The provisions of the gross income definition, sections 7 and 64E, the provisions of donations tax as well as paragraph 12(5) and 12A of the Eighth Schedule to the ITA, were explored. Sections 3(3) and 3(5) of the EDA are discussed with the use of these loans for estate planning in mind. The question whether or not the interest-free loan is still a useful estate planning tool is also answered. / LLM (Estate Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

The management board is required by law to set up the funding policy and disclose the plan liabilities to the plan members annually. Since the financial soundness and compensation suitability of the pension scheme is directly related to the government productivity and competency, the funding schedule need to be guided carefully based on the sounded actuarial principle. In this study, statement No.27 of the government standard accounting board (GASB) employed in United States is examined to investigate the substantive funding policy and financial reporting. The financial reporting of the funding schedule for the public and the accrued liabilities disclosed in the balance sheet of the pevsion fund are also scrutinized. Finally explicit requirements for actuarial reporting and general actuarial principle for government employees pension plan are proposed.
