The dissertation thesis deals with valuation of individual items in the economic balance sheet of a stand-alone company and subsequently as a part of acquisition. We define the economic balance sheet as a full set of assets, liabilities as well as synergies amongst the assets (stand-alone company view) and companies (transaction view), where the sum of their individual valuations has to equal to the overall value of the company. Hence we suggest that the management (and a valuer) should be able to decompose the company value into defined and controllable value components. Apart from identifying optimal methods for the individual valuation, the key for achieving this task is the internal (amongst the assets) as well as the overall consistency (vis-a-vis the overall company value). Compared to the overall-valuation approach, we demonstrate how the component approach can lead to more precise results, higher management discipline and accountability, and can serve as a tool for an a priori identification of overpayment as well as an instrument for controlling the value post transaction. We defined two primary types of synergies in terms of valuation approach - Enhancement, improving current income potential and Future opportunities, mainly focusing on new projects - and proposed appropriate valuation approaches given their specifics. Since a large proportion of valuations on individual level is based on the income approach, setting a clear and consistent approach to discount rates was a vital part of the work. We propose a primary and, if not available, second-best rate for each component of the economic balance sheet. Although the synergies are probably of the highest commercial interest, the liabilities with external source of risk and deferred taxes on the individual level are areas generally neglected both by academics and practitioners. While the first one will have only but crucial impact on companies with decommissioning and similar liabilities, the latter is present almost in any itemized valuation, and its incorrect or purely isolated application affects the overall result and breaks the link to the overall company value. We analyze both topics and offer consistent valuation methods, although further research is required to refine them. We discuss WARA as one of the key tools for ensuring consistency of itemized valuation of the economic balance sheet. Lacking any theoretical background and interest from academic researchers, we first analyze simple concepts of the tool as they are used in practice and point out observed conceptual errors, oversimplifications and accounting-only approach. Not only that we propose complex consistent rules for WARA construction but we extend the concept from the focus on conventionally defined net assets to the full economic balance sheet, which is the only way how to relate the itemized valuation to the overall company valuation. Finally, we presented a case study based on real-life example which demonstrated practical applicability of proposed partial solutions as well as the overall approach to achieving consistency with the total company or transaction valuation. Although the analysis of individual items of the economic balance will be inevitably based on subjective assumptions to an extent, we have shown that proposed complex and consistent approach adds value to the strategic and transaction considerations. Also the preciseness of the tools will increase with the number of transactions performed as the parameters get calibrated.

The purpose of my dissertation was to make an analysis of factors influencing the process of the carrying out of the cross-border merger of the Czech company with the company in the European Union. Solution procedure stems from a general definition of acquisitions and mergers, their historical development, reasons for the carrying out thereof, through the picture of these processes in international standards of financial reporting up to the regulation in the European Union. When analyzing the rules for cross-border mergers within the EU, I ascertained problematic places consisting in non-finalization of harmonization - in accounting context - of mergers, and in possibilities of a selection of a tax solution. Apart from the Czech legal regulation, I also analyzed the Slovak legal regulation since the last application part contains a practical example of merger of the Czech company and two Slovak companies carried out in 2009 and prepared on the basis of empirical data.

Work is about corporation mergers in the first place in Czech Republic and about valuation issues. It brings comprehensive view into particular business areas in which are mergeres concerned. It is going about business-legal area, tax and accounting area. Particular sections about these areas are supplemented by the role of the expert in valuation and his opinion. Whole work is ilustrated by the exapmple from praxis.

Varje år avslutas tusentals företagskonkurser, dessa leder till konsekvenser för både företaget, intressenter och samhället. Behovet av att kunna upptäcka varningssignaler innan konkursen är ett faktum och behovet att åtminstone mildra de negativa konsekvenserna som kommer till följd av att en verksamhet upphör är stort. Svenska revisorer har enligt lag en skyldighet att bedöma ett företags möjlighet till fortsatt drift samt göra en notering om företaget har en kapitalbrist. Fortlevnadsvarningen är revisorns varningssignal till intressenter och kravet på kontrollbalansräkning vid kapitalbrist är statens varningssignal. Tidigare studier på området har fokuserat på de finansiella varningssignalerna samt orsaker till varför revisorernas träffsäkerhet vid utfärdandet av fortlevnadsvarningen varierar. Denna uppsats fokuserar på fortlevnadsvarningar och notering om kontrollbalansräkning och syftet är att identifiera förekomsten av fortlevnadsvarningarna samt öka insikten kring de icke-finansiella grunderna som kan ligga bakom en fortlevnadsvarning. Studiens metod är av kvantitativ karaktär där de tre sista revisionsberättelserna hos samtliga aktiebolag som avslutade konkursen under 2018 undersöktes. Innehållet i revisionsberättelsen studerades utifrån förekomsten av fortlevandsvarningar och notering om kontrollbalansräkning, dessa data låg sedan som grund för summeringar, beräkningar och analyser. Studiens resultat visar att förekomsten av notering om kontrollbalansräkning är mer vanligt än att företaget får en fortlevnadsvarning av revisorn. De finansiella grunderna bakom en fortlevnadsvarning är mer förekommande än icke-finansiella grunder. Samtliga grunder och notering om kontrollbalansräkning är i vissa fall synliga redan tre år innan verksamheten upphör. / Thousands of business failures end every year, which leads to consequences for both the company itself, stakeholders and society. The need to be able to detect warning signals before the bankruptcy is an actuality and the need to at least bate the negative consequences which follows due to the business ceases is huge. Swedish auditors have, according to the law, an obligation to evaluate a company’s going concern status. They also have the obligation to do a listing in the audit report if the company has a lack of capital. The going concern warning is the auditors warning signal for stakeholders and the governments warning signal is the requirement of balance sheet for liquidation purposes when a company has a lack of capital. Previous studies in the field has focused on financial warning signals and the reasons why the auditors’ accuracy in issuing the going concern warnings varies. This study focuses on going concern warnings and the listing about balance sheet for liquidations purposes. The purpose of the study is to identify the existence of going concern warnings and to increase the insight into the non-financial bases behind a going concern warning. The method of the study is of a quantitative nature and examined the last three audit reports of all companies which business failure ended in 2018. The content in the audit reports were studied to find going-concern warnings and listings about balance sheet for liquidation purposes, this information was later the basis for summaries, calculation and analyses. The study indicates that the presence of a listing regarding balance sheet for liquidation purposes are more frequent than the going-concern warnings from the auditor. The financial reasons behind a going concern warning is more frequent than the non-financial reasons. Going concern warnings and listing of balance sheet for liquidation purposes are in some cases visible as early as three years before the business ceases.

This thesis is focused on mergers with an emphasis on valuation. It deals mainly with economic, legal, accounting and tax aspects. These aspects are enriched by the amendment of laws that come into legal force from 2012. The thesis is complemented by expert valuation process, without which most of the mergers could not be realized. Final part of this thesis describes concrete national merger of three companies stating the accounting treatment.

2001年國際貨幣基金 (IMF) 為使各國政府財政資訊能更完整的表達其全貌、提高營運績效、加強財政責任、提高財政透明度，進而詳實評估政府活動對總體經濟影響程度，並使各國間與學術研究機構有一致性的比較基礎，捨棄1986年版現金基礎的政府財政統計手冊，重新公布改採權責發生基礎記錄經濟事項的政府財政統計手冊。 我國政府會計除基金別之外，又有機關別；會計基礎之採用除現金基礎，又有修正現金基礎、修正應計基礎及契約責任制等，致政府所編製財務報表，非專業人士難以瞭解其報導內容，大大降低財務報表的有用性。八０年代以後，歐美先進國家財政改革過程中，改採以應計基礎編製政府財務報導，藉由成本會計管理觀念的導入，提高政府財政效率及效能，並有效加強資產及負債的管理績效，故本研究以應計基礎試編我國93年度中央政府的合併資產負債表，以呈現政府目前的財政狀況。 本研究將93年度中央政府 (1)普通基金公務機關決算、(2)非營業特種基金決算、(3)國營事業決算、(4)已結束營業尚未清理完畢之前省營或國營事業清理期間決算等四大部分，將未依商業會計應計基礎所編製的平衡表，經調整、補列各項資產及負債項目及沖轉內部交易等事項後，試編93年度中央政府合併資產負債表，其淨值為7,529.85億元。 / In 2001 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) dedicated for the various countries' government finance information more integral to display the complete visions of government finance, to enhance the operation efficiency, to reinforce the fiscal accountability, and to uplift the fiscal transparency, furthermore to evaluate the effects of government activities on the overall economy, and to enable the various countries and the academic research institutes to have the coherence comparison benchmark, abandoned the cash basis of the Government Finance Statistics Manual of 1986, and renounced to adopt the economic transaction record of the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 on an accrual basis. In Taiwan government accounting has been classified by institutions as well as by funds. All kinds of government accounting basis adopted in Taiwan are as follows: the cash basis, the modified cash basis, the revision accrual basis and the contract responsibility system. Therefore the financial report forms and contents published by the government, could not been understood by the public, except the professional. Therefore the usability of the financial report forms is greatly reduced. After 1980s, during the fiscal reform in European and American advanced countries, adaptation of accrual basis to establish government finance report form, by introducing the concepts of cost accounting, enhances the government finance efficiency and effectiveness greatly, and strengthens the performances of asset and liability management. Therefore this research employs accrual basis trying to establish a consolidated balance sheet of 2004 fiscal year for central government in Taiwan, and to show the fiscal stance of this country. This research tries to combine the fiscal year 2004 final accounts of central authorities, including (1) the agency unit general fund’s final accounts, (2) non-profit special fund’s final accounts, (3) state-owned enterprises final accounts, and (4) not yet sorted out but finished business of the province-owned or the state-owned enterprises liquidated period of final accounts, which are all not arranged according to commercial accounting basis. After finishing adjustments and additional arrangements for some items of assets and liabilities and off-setting the amounts of internal transactions, fiscal year 2004 central government consolidated balance sheet’s net worth is 752.98 billion NT Dollars.

How do financial variables, such as firms’ cash flow and banks’ capital, affect macroeconomic variables, such as investment and GDP growth? What are the macroeconomic effects of exchange rate depreciation in countries where firms and households have extensive foreign-currency liabilities? The doctoral thesis Empirical Essays on Macro-Financial Linkages consists of four separate papers in the field of empirical macroeconomics. The first three papers investigate the macroeconomic implications of financial-market imperfections. Imperfect information between borrowers and lenders makes it more costly for firms to finance investments with external funds than with internal funds. The external finance risk premium depends on the strength of firm balance sheets, which hence affects firm investment. The first paper, The Effect of Cash Flow on Investment: An Empirical Test of the Balance Sheet Channel, examines the importance of financial constraints for investment using a large Swedish firm-level data set which includes many smaller firms (where balance sheet effects are likely to be especially important). I find a positive effect of cash flow on investment, controlling for fundamental determinants of investment and any information in cash flow about investment opportunities. As predicted by the balance sheet channel, the estimated effect of cash flow on investment is especially large for firms which, a priori, are more likely to be financially constrained (low-dividend, small and non-group firms). Moreover, the investment-cash flow sensitivity is significantly larger and more persistent during the first half of the sample period, which includes a severe banking crisis and recession. The second paper, Credit Matters: Empirical Evidence on U.S. Macro-Financial Linkages, written jointly with Tamim Bayoumi, estimates the impact of an adverse shock to bank capital on credit availability and spending in the United States, allowing for feedback from spending and income through the balance sheets of banks, firms and households. We find that an exogenous fall in the bank capital/asset ratio by one percentage point reduces real GDP by some 1 ½ percent through its effects on credit availability, while an exogenous fall in demand of 1 percent of GDP is gradually magnified to around 2 percent through financial feedback effects. The third paper, The Effects of Real Exchange Rate Shocks in an Economy with Extreme Liability Dollarization, studies the effects of real exchange rate depreciation in Bolivia, where over 95 percent of bank credit is denominated in dollars. Currency depreciation increases the domestic-currency value of foreign-currency liabilities and the debt service burden, thus adversely affecting firm balance sheets. A key issue for policymakers in countries with widespread foreign-currency borrowing is whether depreciation would have the standard, expansionary effect on output, or if an adverse balance sheet would dominate. I find that real exchange depreciation has negligible effects on output, since a contractionary balance-sheet effect on investment is counteracted by the standard expansionary effect on net exports. The fourth paper, Uncovered Interest Parity in a Partially Dollarized Developing Country: Does UIP Hold in Bolivia? (And If Not, Why Not?), studies another aspect of macro-financial linkages. The so-called uncovered interest parity (UIP) condition states that interest rate differentials compensate for expected exchange rate changes, equalizing the expected returns from holding assets which only differ in terms of currency denomination. Because of data availability problems, there is a lack of empirical tests of UIP for developing countries. The paper studies the case of Bolivia, where there are bank accounts which only differ in terms of currency denomination (bolivianos or U.S. dollars). I find that UIP does not hold in Bolivia, but that the deviations are smaller than in most other studies of developed and emerging economies. / Diss.

This work consist of two parts. The first section describes the theory, which relates to the financial statements in accordance with Czech law, even according to international accounting standards. In the practical part of work I already deal with the financial statements of the company KOVOSVIT MAS, a. s. First, I focused on the financial statements in accordance with Czech accounting and consequently I have dealt with financial statements in accordance to IAS/IFRS.

The work addresses the problem of evaluating investment options, both in theoretical and practical terms. In theoretical terms, there are firstly defined the basic terms, but especially the complex issue of implementation of investment projects in all stages of life of a project. Attention is also paid to the evaluation of investment alternatives, selecting individual assessment methods (ROI, PP, NPV, IBR, etc.), analysis of financial risks, and the methods of multi-criteria evaluation of investment options, including software tools that use these methods in practice much easier. The following practical part contains basic financial analysis of STUDENT AGENCY, subsequently also evaluated investment options selected renewal of its fleet.
