The goal of this thesis is also to analyse whether the selected information duties help the capital market to function more efficiently. The thesis is divided into seven chapters, introduction and conclusion. The introduction defines which goals are to be achieved by this thesis and which methods are used by the author. The first chapter defines what a so-called quoted joint-stock company means under the Czech law.

The third chapter also includes several important terms such as regulated market or quotation. The fourth...

<p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om revisionsplikten för små och mikro AB bör finnas kvar eller inte. Inom den Europeiska Unionen (EU) är det endast Sverige och Malta som i nuläget har plikten kvar fullt ut. För att få en uppfattning om vad debatten handlar om har vi i första hand studerat aktuella artiklar. Vi har även använt oss av två olika forskarrapporter inom området och litteratur. Åsikter i debatten har vi även tagit del av genom sju stycken olika intervjuer med anställda hos banker, Skatteverket, revisionsbyråer och ägare i små och mikro AB. Genom vår studie har vi kommit fram till att fördelar med en revisionsplikt är att den fungerar som ett kontrollinstrument för intressenter och bidrar till en kvalitetsstämpel för bolagen. Vi har dock sett att det viktigaste inte är själva plikten, utan revisionen i sig. De främsta intressenterna av revision är kreditgivarna och dessa kommer troligtvis att kunna kräva reviderat material, även om plikten avskaffas. Med andra ord är inte kreditgivarna beroende av en revisionsplikt. Vi anser därför att det är bättre att revision är självvald. Detta tror vi bidrar till en ökad status för revisorn och en högre kvalitetsstämpel för revisionen i sig.</p> / <p>The purpose with this paper is to examine whether the audit duty for small and micro joint stock companies should be in existence or not. Within the European Union (EU) it´s only Sweden and Malta who now a days still has the duty fully in existence. To get an apprehension on what the debate is about have we first of all studied current articles. We have also used two different sciencesreports within the subject and literature. We have also taking part of opionions in the debate through seven different interviews with employees at banks, tax authorities, firms of accountants and owners in small and micro joint stock companies. Through our study we have seen that the advantages with an auditduty is that it works as a controlinstrument for partners and contribute to an qualitystamp for the companies. We have although seen that the most important isn´t the duty, but instead the audit it self. The leading partners of audit is the creditgivers and they will probably be able to demand audited material anyway, even if the duty abolish. With other words, the creditgivers, is not depended on a auditduty. Our opinion is therefore that it´s better if audit is self-chosen. We think that it contributes to an increased status for the auditor and a higher qualitystamp for the audit it self.</p>

The aim of this thesis is to perform an analysis of capital structure of joint stock companies based in the Czech Republic. The first part of the thesis introduces modern theories and main determinants of capital structure. Further it stakes out basic models used for testing the validity of mentioned theories and the methodology used. The second part of the thesis focuses on practical results of the analysis. The first chapter summarises descriptive analysis of the passive structure, the level of leverage, the composition of equity and liabilities of the joint stock companies. These ratios are judged mainly according to industry classification and the type of ownership. In the next step, the relationship between leverage and profitability is closely explored since it is thought to be one of the main determinants. In the last chapter, the models are applied to the sample of Czech companies with the effort to judge the validity of capital structure theories and to evaluate the effect of determinants on capital structure.

Les sociétés sont traditionnellement classées en sociétés de personnes et sociétés de capitaux. L’intuitus personae constitue le fondement sur lequel repose cette distinction. Fort présent dans les sociétés de personnes, l’intuitus personae serait, en théorie, absent dans les sociétés de capitaux. Toutefois, cette distinction classique ne correspond plus, aujourd’hui, à la réalité. Nous assistons, en effet, à la résurgence de la considération de la personne dans les sociétés de capitaux à travers le développement de techniques contractuelles dont le but est de contrôler l’accès à ces sociétés. Ce mouvement de personnalisation a été renforcé par le législateur, d’abord, par la création de la société par actions simplifiée, mais aussi par la reconnaissance, dans les sociétés cotées, de la notion de concert ou encore d’un droit de sortie au profit des actionnaires minoritaires. La consécration de la validité de l’exclusion, qu’elle soit conventionnelle ou le résultat d’un mécanisme spécifique du droit des sociétés comme le retrait obligatoire ou le coup d’accordéon, participe également de ce phénomène. Cette présence a des conséquences majeures sur le fonctionnement de ces sociétés, mais aussi sur le droit des sociétés en général. En effet, d’une part, la reconnaissance de la primauté des relations entre actionnaires sur les capitaux offre une nouvelle perspective de la notion d’affectio societatis et du principe majoritaire. Et d’autre part, la mise en oeuvre de l’intuitus personae dans des sociétés dans lesquelles il est censé être absent affecte la cohérence même du droit des sociétés en anéantissant la summa divisio sur laquelle ce droit est bâti et en dénaturant le choix du pluralisme juridique, fait de longue date par le législateur français, qui commande en présence d’une pluralité de structures offertes aux opérateurs, une distinction de chacune d’elles reposant sur des critères précis et invariables. / Companies are traditionally classified into partnerships and joint stock companies. Intuitus personae is the basis for this distinction. Clearly present in partnership companies, intuitus personae is, in theory, absent in joint stock companies. However, this traditional distinction does not correspond today to reality. We are, in fact, witnessing a resurgence of the consideration of the individual in joint stock companies by means of contractual techniques whose aim is to control access to these companies. This resurgence has been further strengthened by the legislator, first by the creation of the status of simplified stock company and also by the recognition in listed companies of the existence of concerted action and a right to voluntary withdrawal benefiting minority stockholders. The admission of the validity of exclusion, either conventional or resulting from mechanisms specific to company law such as a squeeze out or even an “accordion squeeze”, add to the growth of this phenomenon. This presence of intuitus personae has major implications on the functioning of joint stock companies and on company law, in general. Indeed, on the one hand, the primacy of shareholder relationships over capital offers a new perspective of the notion of affectio societatis and the principle of majority rule. On the other hand, the introduction of intuitus personae into companies where this concept should have been absent affects the coherence of company law by destroying the summa divisio basis on which this law is founded and by distorting the legal pluralism long ago adopted by the French legislator which, in the presence of diverse legal structures, necessitates a distinction amongst them based on precise and invariable criteria.

Starting with the evolution of capitalization until the consolidation of a new world economic order, this work elaborates on one of the most relevant effects of the latest developments in international trade: the competition among domestic and international companies. Within this context, the pursuit of new markets by global companies and their concern with investment costs have stood out. Going public as a means of surviving fierce competition is analyzed, followed by an overview of the capital market and its recent growth. To that end, the evolution of the capital market and of companies is given due consideration. It is thus shown that investors and stakeholders have become increasingly knowledgeable and demanding in terms of greater business security and transparency. This growing awareness has evolved into the so-called corporate governance, which instituted duties, obligations and above all the liability of directors & officers. As this dissertation develops, it will also focus on the duties of directors & officers and on the evolution of civil liability, always demonstrating that legal changes have come in the sway of the globalization of economies / Discutem-se neste trabalho os reflexos da globalização na responsabilidade civil dos administradores das sociedades anônimas. O enfoque parte da evolução do capitalismo até a criação da nova ordem econômica mundial. Passa-se então a analisar um dos mais importantes efeitos do desenvolvimento do Comércio Internacional: a competição entre as empresas nacionais e internacionais. Com isso, destaca-se a procura de novos mercados pelas empresas e a preocupação com o custo de seus investimentos. Pondera-se a respeito da abertura do capital social como forma de ganhar força na competição acirrada, e, portanto, do crescimento do mercado de capitais. Diante disso, estuda-se a evolução do mercado de capitais e das sociedades. Buscamos demonstrar que os investidores e os terceiros com o tempo foram se tornando mais conscientes e exigindo garantias, como segurança e transparência na condução dos negócios. Surge então um movimento conhecido como governança corporativa, que institui deveres, obrigações e acima de tudo responsabilidades aos administradores. Por fim, trataremos dos deveres dos administradores e da evolução da responsabilidade civil, procurando sempre demonstrar que as alterações da legislação foram reflexos da internacionalização das economias
