Många bostadsrättsköpare och bostadsrättshavare har enligt tidigare studier svårt att tolka och förstå bostadsrättsföreningars årsredovisning. Utöver detta så visar studier att många människor har en bristande finansiell förmåga, vilken dock sägs kunna förbättras genom utökad information. Syftet med studien är att pröva hur väl förädlingsvärdeanalysens utökade information fungerar som ett komplement till bostadsrättsföreningens årsredovisning. För att kunna besvara syftet har denna studie utgått från huvudfrågan på vilket sätt utökad redovisningsinformation i form av förädlingsvärdeanalys kan påverka förståelsen bland bostadsrättshavare avseende bostadsrättsföreningens ekonomi. Därtill har studien utgått från två delfrågor om vad det är som gör att bostadsrättsföreningars årsredovisning upplevs svårbegriplig, respektive hur väl modellen för förädlingsvärdeanalysen täcker bostadsrättshavarnas önskemål om utökad information till föreningens årsredovisning. För att besvara syftet har en kvalitativ metod använts där kunskapsinriktningen är deduktiv med inslag av induktion. Forskningsdesignen består av en fallstudiedesign med en kvasiexperimentell del. Data har samlats in via tio semistrukturerade intervjuer. De strukturerade frågorna analyseras och redovisas genom en jämförelse av medelvärden. De öppna frågorna tolkas textkritiskt och analyseras med hjälp av tematisk analys. Studiens resultat visar att den framtagna förädlingsvärdemodellen påtagligt bidrar till en ökad finansiell förståelse bland bostadsrättshavarna. Som svar på studiens huvudfråga kan slutsatsen dras att det i första hand är jämförbarheten mellan olika föreningar som ökar av informationen i förädlingsvärdemodellen. Därtill ökar även förståelsen för föreningens sparande, samt att förädlingsvärdemodellen bidrar till en upplevd ökad begriplighet av föreningens ekonomi. Förädlingsvärdeanalys har såvitt studiens författare vet aldrig tidigare applicerats på bostadsrättsföreningar. Detta innebär en utökning av förädlingsvärdeanalysens användningsområden i och med appliceringen på en bostadsrättsförening. Utöver detta innebär det även ett nytt och effektivt verktyg för bostadsrättsföreningar och deras ekonomiska rapportering. Ett förslag på vidare forskning är att modifiera förädlingsvärdemodellen ytterligare utifrån bostadsrättshavarnas önskemål och därefter testa modellen i större skala och på fler föreningar. Ett annat förslag är att kombinera förädlingsvärdemodellen med att testa den faktiska finansiella förmågan istället för den upplevda, för att på ett mer objektivt sätt mäta förädlingsvärdemodellens effektivitet. / According to previous studies, many condominium-buyers and condominium-owners have difficulties interpreting and understanding condominium compounds' annual report. In addition to this, studies show that many people have a lack of financial literacy, although it is said to be improved by expanded information. The aim of this study is to test how well the value-added analysis's expanded information works as a complement to the condominium compound's annual report. To answer the aim, this study has been based on the main question in what way expanded accounting information in the form of value-added analysis can affect the understanding among condominium-owners' regarding the condominium compounds' finances.As well as the sub-questions what is it that makes condominium compounds' annual report difficult to understand, and how well the model for the value-added analysis will cover the condominium-owners' wishes for extended information in the condominium compounds' annual report. A qualitative method has been used where the focus of knowledge is deductive with elements of induction. The research design consists of a case study design with a quasiexperimental part. Data were collected through ten semi-structured interviews. The structured questions are analysed and reported through a comparison of mean values. The open-ended questions are interpreted text-critically and analysed with the help of thematic analysis.  The results of the study show that the value-added model clearly contributes to an increased financial understanding among condominium-owners. In response to the study's main question, it can be concluded that it is primarily the comparability between different condominium compounds that increases through the information in the value-added model. In addition, the understanding of the condominium compound's savings also increases, and the value-added model contributes to a perceived increased understanding of the condominium compound's finances. As far as the study's authors know, value-added analysis has never before been applied to condominium compounds. This means an extension of the value-added analysis's areas of use with the application to a condominium compound. In addition to this, it also means a new and effective tool to condominium compounds for their financial reporting. A proposal for further research is to modify the value-added model further based on the condominium-owners' wishes and then test the model on a larger scale and on more condominium compounds. Another proposal is to combine the value-added model with testing the actual financial literacy instead of the perceived one, in order to measure the efficiency of the value-added model in a more objective way.

The title of my thesis is "The potential of non-profit organizations in increasing the financial literacy of citizens". The goal of my thesis is to analyze and evaluate the activity of non-profit organizations in increasing the financial literacy of citizens. It is also focusing on the relation between the government, the for-profit and the non-profit sector in the field of financial literacy. I divided my thesis into six chapters. In the first chapter I defined the research problem, set the goals of my thesis and defined the research questions. In the second chapter I focused on the methodology and the definition of my information resources. For the purpose of this thesis I chose the semi-standardized interview, the analysis of participants and the analysis of documents. In the second part of this chapter I made the review of the information resources which I used for this thesis. My thesis is based on the theory of "the triangle" of the market, the government and the civil society, the concept of the social accounting and the benefits and failures of the non-profit sector. First I focused on the government policy in the field of increasing the financial literacy of citizens. I found out that the first steps the government made in this field were done in the year 2005 when the first strategy...

This work deals with the indebtedness of consumers. It examines the causes of the debotrs themselves. Based on a secondary analysis of past research in the area of financial literacy, consumer behavior, statistical data, but also of qualitative research in the form of case study seeks to answer the question why the debtor becomes the debtor, the extent to which the indebtedness and indebtedness viewed as rational behavior but also if the debtor is accompanied by rational reasoning or irrational behavior. It concludes that the debtor can not be considered entirely rational. Applied policy then the issue of over-indebtedness problem takes into account the irrational assumptions by the debtor only marginally and does not reflect as one of its main causes.

This diploma thesis is devoted to the issue of indebtedness of natural person citizens of the Czech Republic and the follow up solution proposal, which aim is eliminate this problem. Selected theories of human capital and the consumerist society best describe theoretical concept debt issues. Consequently, this chapter is followed by the application of state policy instruments, which can mostly be sort of legislative action, educational activities and information and communication tools. They are a very important component, since all the measures breathe life. An important component of this thesis is to research, which was carried out in several directions, taking could then occur between individual variables to verify hypotheses. The extension of knowledge in the field of theory and research led me to the various proposals on how to solve the problem. In summary, it is a modification of the entire lending process and the subsequent recovery, which would in case of implementation of indebtedness persons decreased while satisfying yield "creditable" lenders.

The high debt-to-income ratios and the low financial literacy levels among Canadian immigrants are hindering public welfare, macroeconomic policies, and economic growth. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore why immigrants to Lloydminster, Canada possess high debt-to-income ratios in their financial portfolios by examining pertinent themes and patterns between their debt profiles and their financial literacy levels. The life cycle hypothesis, rational choice theory, and bounded rationality theory grounded the study. Data collection from the purposeful sample included semistructured face-to-face interviews with 13 adult immigrants and a focus group discussion with 6 adult immigrants, all of whom lived, worked, or owned a business in the city of Lloydminster. The application of Yin's 5-step data analytic procedure revealed key findings that described the pattern between immigrants' debt profiles and their financial literacy levels including environmental curiosity, excellent credit score, family survival, rational decision making, social institutions, economic institutions, pressure impacting financial decisions, credit facility impacting financial decisions, emotions impacting financial decisions, and discount deals impacting financial decisions. Immigrants to Canada can utilize the findings from this study to develop their financial literacy levels and stay committed to making sensible financial decisions, thus triggering positive social change. Sound spending habits could have positive implications for Canada's Gross Domestic Product growth and immigrants' wellbeing.

The presented work deals with the question of achieving financial literacy in pupils with hearing impairment, as one of the important areas of development of civic competencies for life in today's society. The main part of the work is the presentation of the results of a research survey aimed at determining the level of financial literacy in the target group of 15-18-year-old students with hearing impairments who study at secondary schools established for students with hearing impairments in the Czech Republic and their comparison with the results of non-disabled students who were included in PISA financial literacy testing. The research was conducted on three levels. Proven tools from international testing for the quantitative part of the survey and standardized psychological tests were selected, along with school registry data for the part that addresses the qualitative characteristics of pupils. Subsequent analysis of the obtained data served to verify the hypotheses what affects the achieving financial literacy in pupils with hearing impairment. Furthermore, data obtained through the ICT saturation questionnaire, which monitors safety techniques and pupils' relationships and attitudes towards ICT and compares them with participants in PISA testing, were processed and commented on. The aim of...
