Бухгалтерский учет в бюджетной сфере – составная часть единой системы учета Российской Федерации, поэтому учет основных средств в бюджетных учреждениях постоянно подвержен реформированию. Из года в год издаются различные нормативно-правовые документы, либо вносятся поправки в ранее созданные, которые, так или иначе, меняют ведение учета основных средств в бюджетных учреждениях. Как известно, выполнение бюджетными учреждениями функции, возложенных на них, возможно при наличии одного важного условия – обеспеченности основными средствами, а также максимальной степени задействования этих средств в процессе деятельности учреждения. При этом эффективное использование основных средств – это решающий фактор роста объемов оказываемых учреждением услуг, а также улучшения качества обслуживания. На современном этапе бухгалтерский учет можно считать важным средством систематического контроля, которое обеспечивает сохранность основных средств учреждения, их правильное использование и выявление дополнительных резервов снижения расходов. Основные средства бюджетного учреждения обладают одной отличительной особенностью – они многократно используются в процессе деятельности бюджетного учреждения и при этом сохраняют первоначальную форму. Основные средства в результате их использования, а также под влиянием внешней среды постепенно изнашиваются. При этом свою первоначальную стоимость они переносят на затраты производства. Данная информация позволяет предприятию выявить пути и резервы повышения эффективности обеспеченности основных фондов, а, кроме того, вовремя обнаружить и скорректировать негативные отклонения, которые в дальнейшем могут повлечь серьезные последствия для успешной деятельности предприятия. Принятие управленческих решений в отношении основных средств связано с формированием достоверного учетно-аналитического обеспечения, что предполагает проведение экономического анализа. Экономический анализ является следующим звеном между исходной информацией, формируемой в системе бухгалтерского учета, и принимаемыми управленческими решениями. / Accounting in the budgetary sphere is an integral part of the unified accounting system of the Russian Federation, therefore, accounting for fixed assets in budgetary institutions is constantly subject to reform. From year to year, various regulatory documents are issued, or amendments are made to previously created ones, which, one way or another, change the accounting of fixed assets in budgetary institutions. As you know, the performance of the functions assigned to them by budgetary institutions is possible if there is one important condition - the provision of fixed assets, as well as the maximum degree of use of these funds in the process of the institution's activities. At the same time, the effective use of fixed assets is a decisive factor in the growth of the volume of services provided by the institution, as well as improving the quality of service. At the present stage, accounting can be considered an important means of systematic control, which ensures the safety of the institution's fixed assets, their correct use and the identification of additional reserves for reducing costs. Fixed assets of a budgetary institution have one distinctive feature - they are repeatedly used in the course of the activities of a budgetary institution and at the same time retain their original form. Fixed assets as a result of their use, as well as under the influence of the external environment, gradually wear out. At the same time, they transfer their initial value to production costs. This information allows the enterprise to identify ways and reserves to improve the efficiency of the provision of fixed assets, and, in addition, to timely detect and correct negative deviations, which in the future may entail serious consequences for the successful operation of the enterprise. The adoption of management decisions in relation to fixed assets is associated with the formation of reliable accounting and analytical support, which implies an economic analysis. Economic analysis is the next link between the initial information generated in the accounting system and the management decisions made.

Для успешного существования отношений на рынке одним из требований является наличие у организаций собственного имущества, то есть основных средств. Основные средства действительно очень необходимы для налаживания производственной деятельности и оказания любых услуг. Эти активы обычно самые дорогие и с долгим сроком полезного использования на предприятии. Также важнейшую роль основные средства играют в трудовом процессе посредством образования технической и производственной базы предприятия и тем самым позволяя определить производственный потенциал организации. Любому производственному предприятию необходимы основные средства, так как они много раз участвуют в процессе производства, перенося свою стоимость частично на создаваемый товар, но при этом, не меняя своей формы. В течение всего времени основные средства подвергаются различным действиям: приходуются, вводятся в эксплуатацию, происходит начисление амортизации, износ, ремонт, модернизация, выбытие в связи с износом, продажей, а также перемещение. Рациональное управление и использование основных средств также влияет на результаты деятельности организации. Для того чтобы принять решение в части основных средств нужно провести экономический анализ. Рациональность управления и использования основных средств прямо влияет на результат деятельности предприятия в целом. / For the successful existence of relations in the market, one of the requirements is that organizations have their own property, that is, fixed assets. Fixed assets are really very necessary to establish production activities and provide any services. These assets are usually the most expensive and longest-lived assets in an enterprise. Also, fixed assets play an important role in the labor process through the formation of the technical and production base of the enterprise and thereby allowing to determine the production potential of the organization. Any manufacturing enterprise needs fixed assets, since they participate many times in the production process, transferring their value partially to the product being created, but at the same time, without changing their form. Throughout the entire time, fixed assets are subjected to various actions: they are received, put into operation, depreciation is charged, depreciation, repairs, modernization, disposal due to wear and tear, sale, as well as movement. The rational management and use of fixed assets also affects the results of the organization. In order to make a decision about fixed assets, you need to conduct an economic analysis. Rationality of management and use of fixed assets directly affects the result of the enterprise as a whole.

Définir une immobilisation en droit fiscal implique de se référer à des critères permettant préalablement d’identifier l'existence d'un actif mobilisable et d'en mesurer le coût d'inscription à l’actif. La difficulté réside dans le fait que le Code général des impôts contient une seule disposition, l'article 38 quinquies de l’Annexe III qui prévoit que : « les immobilisations sont inscrites au bilan pour leur valeur d'origine.... ». Si le code traite de la mesurabilité il reste muet sur l'identification. En l’absence d’une définition purement fiscale, il convient de se retourner vers le droit comptable. En effet, il ressort de l’article 38 quater de l’Annexe III du Code général des impôts que "les entreprises doivent respecter les définitions édictées par le Plan comptable général, sous réserve que celles-ci ne soient pas incompatibles avec les règles applicables pour la détermination de l'assiette de l'impôt". A cet égard, le plan comptable général définit un actif comme « un élément identifiable du patrimoine ayant une valeur économique positive pour l’entité, c'est-à-dire un élément générant une ressource que l’entité contrôle du fait d’événements passés et dont elle attend des avantages économiques futurs ». Cette définition est la conséquence d’une réforme profonde de notre comptabilité. En effet, la comptabilité a connu un bouleversement, depuis le 1er janvier 2005, toutes les entreprises cotées de l’Union européenne devant présenter leurs comptes consolidés selon des normes comptables internationales. Par ailleurs et toujours sous l’influence des normes comptables internationales, la comptabilité interne a désormais tendance à privilégier une approche économique au détriment d’une conception traditionnellement patrimoniale. La définition des immobilisations incorporelles confirme parfaitement cette évolution et pour certains reflète même, à terme, la disparition d’un droit comptable et fiscal spécifiquement français. / For a definition of a fixed asset in Taxation Law we must be guided by those criteria that in the first instance enable the identification of an underlying asset and the calculation of the acquisition cost for that asset. The difficulty resides in the fact that the General Taxation Code contains only one provision, article 38 quinquies (fifth section) of Appendix III which stipulates that: “Fixed assets shall be recorded on the balance sheet at their original value”. Although the Code deals with measurability it falls silent on identification. In the absence of a purely fiscal definition, we need to turn to accountancy law. In this regard, it emerges from article 38 quater (fourth section) of Appendix III of the General Taxation Code that "businesses shall comply with the definitions set out by the General Accountancy Plan subject to these not being incompatible with the applicable regulations for the calculation of tax brackets". In this regard, the General Accountancy Plan defines an asset as “an identifiable component of property having a positive value for the entity, i.e. a component generating a resource that the entity controls owing to previous events and from which it anticipates future financial advantage”. This definition is the result of a profound reform of our accountancy practices. In fact, accountancy has been in a state of upheaval since 1st January 2005, when all listed companies within the European Union were required to publish their consolidated accounts in accordance with international accountancy regulations. What is more, and also under the influence of international accountancy regulations, internal accountancy now tends to favour a financial approach to the detriment of a traditionally asset-based approach. The definition of intangible fixed assets fully confirms this trend and for some it heralds the ultimate disappearance of any specifically French accounting and taxation law.

Este estudo defende que elementos individuais e pressões ambientais influenciam o JDM dos contadores, demandado em maior grau desde a adoção das IFRS no Brasil, em 2010. A perspectiva individual foi estudada à luz da Teoria da Racionalidade Limitada (limitações cognitivas, situacionais e informacionais impedem a decisão ótima); já a ambiental utiliza os pressupostos da Teoria Institucional (as organizações tendem à similaridade, em função de pressões coercitivas, normativas e miméticas). Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado, aplicado a 28 contadores que atuam em organizações que adotam as IFRS. Os resultados mostram que tanto as variáveis individuais, quanto as pressões institucionais influenciam o JDM dos contadores estudados. Os elementos individuais referem-se a limitações cognitivas (uso de facilitadores de decisão e excesso de variáveis); informacionais (informação indisponível e custo-benefício de obtê-la); e situacionais (tempo); sendo a limitação cognitiva a mais frequente. As pressões ambientais identificadas são as coercitivas (legislação, auditoria, detentores de capital, gestores e entidades regulamentadoras), as normativas (graduação, outros contadores, formação complementar, professores e auditoria) e as miméticas (consultoria). Destas, a pressão coercitiva é a mais presente no JDM dos contadores. A análise em relação a como elementos individuais e ambientais influenciam o JDM mostra que: a) as limitações cognitivas influenciam com maior intensidade o JDM dos contadores nas decisões operacionais, enquanto as pressões coercitivas influenciam mais o JDM nas decisões relacionadas à gestão do imobilizado (adotar a IFRS de forma integral ou parcial e como atender - ou não - a tudo que a norma demanda); b) há eventos em que Racionalidade Limitada e as Pressões Institucionais influenciam o JDM dos contadores de forma conjunta (como no cálculo da depreciação, teste de impairment e controles complementares), quando isso ocorre, as pressões coercitivas são determinates da decisão. / This research analyzed the individual and environmental variables that influence the judgment and decision making (JDM) of accountants in companies that adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and how they do it, in terms of asset control. This study argues that individual elements and environmental pressures influence the accountants JDM, demanded to a greater degree since the adoption of IFRS in Brazil in 2010. The individual perspective was studied in light of the Bounded Rationality Theory (cognitive, situational and informational limitations prevent the optimal decision); and the environmental uses the presuppositions of the Institutional Theory (the organizations tend to the similarity, due to coercive, normative and mimetic pressures). For the data collection, was used a semi-structured questionnaire, applied to 28 accountants who work in organizations that adopt the IFRS. The results show that individual variables and institutional pressures influence the JDM of the studied accountants. The individual elements are related to cognitive limitations (use of decision facilitators and excess variables), informational limitations (information unavailable and cost-effective to obtain it) and situational limitations (time); where the cognitive limitation is the most frequent. The environmental pressures identified are coercive (legislation, audit, capital holders, managers and regulators), normative (graduation, other accountants, supplementary training, teachers and auditing) and mimetics (consulting). Of these, the coercive pressure is the most present in the JDM of the accountants. The analysis of how individual and environmental elements influence the JDM shows that: a) Cognitive limitations influence the accountant’s JDM more strongly in operational decisions, while coercive pressures influence the JDM more in decisions about the management of fixed assets (adopt IFRS in whole or in part and how to meet - or not - all that the standard demands). b) There are events in which Limited Rationality and Institutional Pressures influence the accountant’s JDM jointly (as in the calculation of depreciation, impairment test and complementary controls), when this occurs, coercive pressures are determinate to the decision.

Thesis summarizes globally the issue of the accounting depreciation and the tax depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets in the Czech Republic. The different meaning of the accounting depreciation or the tax depreciation for the accounting entity is pointed out, the impact of the selected method of depreciation on the profit/tax base is discussed as well as the following issue of the deferred tax. Additionally, the different interpretation of some area of the accounting depreciation of the International Financial Reporting Standards is compared with the point of view of the Czech legislation. In the area of the tax depreciation the different concept called investment pool used in the economies of other countries is stated. Finally, the intended changes in the accounting legislation and the tax legislation in the following years are mentioned.

Thesis deals with issues of recognition and capture of permanent and temporary changes in the value of assets and liabilities in financial accounting from the perspective of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and the Czech accounting law.

The informal sector has emerged as an important sector in Africa where many countries are striving to attain Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 8 on decent work and economic growth. The presence of a growing number of individuals and firms in the informal sector in Africa and the need to attain SDG 8 through formalisation have reignited the debate on informality and its possible causes and effects on the growth trajectory of African economies. Empirical questions on the determinants of informality are still not adequately answered. One question which continues to generate a lot of debate and contrasting results is the relationship between the informal sector and corruption. Both informality and corruption have emerged as ‘twin challenges’ in Africa, with a far reaching impact on economic development. The relationship between the informal sector and corruption has been an inconclusive and a polemical issue in both academic and developmental discourse. From a theoretical perspective, the two can be substitutes or complements, but the exact nature of the relationship is not clear. The main objective of this study is to empirically investigate the relationship between the informal sector, corruption and economic development in Africa, over the period 2005 to 2015. The objective of the study was answered through two ways: theoretical and empirical methodology. In the theoretical methodology, a classical approach was applied. The classical theory suggests that in the presence of a market for corruption, corruption control can reduce the size of the informal sector through reducing the supply of corruption, thereby raising the price of corruption. The negative relationship between corruption control and the size of the informal sector is supported by the described empirical data for Africa. The results from descriptive statistics, in particular the scatter plots, demonstrate that control of corruption, government effectiveness and economic development as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) are negatively associated with the size of the informal sector. The negative association between the control of corruption and the size of the informal sector entails that corruption increases the size of the informal sector. With regards to the empirical solution, the total population of 54 African countries was considered for the study. However, a panel of 46 countries was analyzed as the other eight countries, although considered together with the rest, were scientifically isolated from the panel due to data challenges. Robustness checks were carried out to check if estimates are not sensitive to sample size or region. Further, for purposes of this study, the sample was also divided into Southern and Eastern Africa, and Northern and Western Africa. Panel data was applied in order to account for both time and country-specific heterogeneity. The use of panel data allows one to study variability through comparability of the level of informality in countries such as Zimbabwe where the economy has remained largely informalised. Four panel estimators, namely, the Pooled Effects, Fixed Effects or Within Effects, Random Effects or GLS, and Dynamic Panel Model (Arrelano-Bond), were applied. Model specification tests identified the Fixed Effect Model as the most appropriate model. Hence, the discussed results are largely from the Fixed Effects Model. On measurement of informality, the study relied on the shadow economy estimates constructed by Medina and Schneider (2018) for 158 countries from 1991 to 2015. On corruption, the study used the Control of Corruption Index (COCO) published by the World Bank, in the Governance Index Report. Unlike previous studies which used GDP per capita only as a proxy for economic development, this study went a step further and used Human Development Index (𝐻𝐷𝐼) as a proxy for economic development. Profit tax as a percentage of GDP was also tested as a potential determinant of informality. The endogeneity of the corruption variable was corrected using an instrumental variable. The findings show that an improvement in the control of corruption or government effectiveness reduces the level of informality in Africa while, an increasing informal sector is a breeding ground for corruption. The two variables are complements or jointly determined. Countries with large underground economies possess high levels of corruption, and countries with high levels of corruption are associated with large underground economies. The complementarity of corruption and the size of underground economy implies that policies that target one of the two will also help in tackling the other. In addition, the results show that economic development reduces the magnitude of informality, while a larger informal sector today implies a bigger informal sector in the future. One of the findings of this study is that previous studies which applied GDP per capita as a measure of economic development largely underestimated the impact of economic development on the size of the informal sector. The findings of the study show that the negative association between the control of corruption and the size of the informal sector holds for both the Northern and Southern regions of Africa. The impact is however bigger in the Northern Region, as a marginal improvement in corruption control has a bigger impact in reducing the size of the informal sector compared to the Southern Region. The results from the study also show that the level of informality in a country has a memory. A bigger informal sector today is likely to propel the level of the informal sector in the future. The findings show that a growth of the informal sector by one percentage point today will increase the informal sector by about 0.185 percentage points in the following year. The results from time dummies also indicate that the size of the informal sector in Africa started to grow significantly during the financial crisis period in 2009. The main implication of these findings is that African countries can target one of the two in order to reduce both the size of the underground economy and corruption. The other implication is that a policy that targets curing one of the problems will have positive external effects in curing the other unintended problem. Furthermore, the findings imply that African countries with large underground economies may continue to experience growing informal economies due to lack of regulatory capacity and weak enforcement. Solving the two problems is a double hurdle for African countries. / Economics / D. Com. (Economics)
