Enquanto a disponibilidade de recursos naturais é pressionada pelo crescimento populacional, por níveis crescentes de poluição e por padrões de consumo inadequados, as organizações procuram referências para crescer de modo sustentável. Tendo em vista a dependência que os negócios têm da natureza, a busca por soluções de menor impacto ambiental é, além de uma boa prática, uma condição sine qua non para a manutenção da competitividade. O atual formato de avaliação dos resultados econômicos nas empresas é incompatível com a mensuração do real valor gerado. Além de estimular ações de curto prazo que, muitas vezes, geram impactos ambientais no longo prazo, a Demonstração de Resultado do Exercício (DRE) desconsidera uma série de efeitos ambientais externos gerados pelas organizações, os quais impactam a sociedade sem que ela seja recompensada. Estes impactos são conhecidos como externalidades ambientais, as quais podem ser positivas, embora sejam, majoritariamente, negativas. No Brasil, a indústria petroquímica é rigidamente controlada pela legislação ambiental e pela ação das comunidades com as quais se relaciona. Ainda assim, é um ramo industrial sujeito à geração de externalidades. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um método para a elaboração da Demonstração do Resultado Econômico-Ambiental (DREA), a qual internaliza as externalidades ambientais, bem como a aplicação em uma empresa do setor petroquímico. Para tanto, o método de pesquisa utilizado foi o Design Science Research (DSR). Os resultados desta pesquisa indicam que as externalidades ambientais presentes planta fabril avaliada são predominantemente negativas. A internalização destes custos externos impactaria o resultado econômico consolidado da empresa em valor correspondente a 12,5% do Lucro Líquido do exercício considerado. Além disso, é possível concluir que o método desenvolvido é adequado para a elaboração da DREA e configura-se em um passo importante no avanço da contabilidade. / Business and nature are closely connected and human development depends on a harmonious relationship between them. While the availability of natural resources is pressed by population growth, by increasing levels of pollution and inadequate consumption patterns, organizations seek drivers to grow sustainably. Given the dependence that businesses have of nature, the search for lower environmental impact solutions is, besides a good practice, a sine qua non condition for maintaining competitiveness. The current format for evaluating economic results in companies is inconsistent with the measurement of the real value generated. Besides stimulating short-term actions, which often cause environmental impact in the long term, the traditional Income Statement disregards a series of external environmental effects generated by organizations, which affect the society without a compatible reward. These impacts are known as environmental externalities, which can be positive, although they are mostly negative. In Brazil, the petrochemical industry is tightly controlled by the environmental legislation and by the action of the communities with which it interacts. Even so, it is an industry subject to the generation of externalities. In this sense, this research aimed to develop a method for the preparation of the Economic and Environmental Income Statement (EEIS), which internalize environmental externalities, and test this method in a petrochemical company. To support this study, the research method used was the Design Science Research (DSR). The results of this research indicate that environmental externalities present in the assessed petrochemical plant are predominantly negative. The internalization of the relative external costs would impact the consolidated economic results of the company in an amount equal to 12.5% of net profit for the year considered. In addition, it can be concluded that the developed method is suitable for the preparation of EEIS and sets up an important step in advancing the accounting.

The aim of this study is to certify the legitimacy of employing quantitative methods in the day-to-day business practice. The task is approached as a case study of a real-life financial planning process. I work with the financial data of POS Media Czech Republic (a media company providing point-of-sale advertising solutions). My intention is to simulate the projection of a pro forma income statement with the use of quantitative methods. More specifically, I am applying time series prediction techniques in order to forecast POS Media's sales. The goal is, first, to demonstrate that quantitative techniques can be handled even with limited statistical background and, second, to discuss the relevancy of the obtained results. In the methodical part of my thesis I deal with the theoretical aspects of financial planning. I further describe various methods of sales forecasting (qualitative vs. quantitative). Special emphasis is put on time series prediction methods. In the application part I provide a short description of POS Media and its business. I use time series decomposition techniques to predict POS Media's sales in 2012. Consequently, I outline the rest of the pro forma income statement.

Objective: The study will identify where conflicts between SMEs and the Annual ReportsAct exists to find out if there is a need for adaptation of Swedish accounting to achieveinternational comparability. Method: A descriptive method was used to make the regulations in IFRS for SMEs and ÅRLequivalent and to observe the differences between the regulations a comparative method wasused. After this the conflicts could be sorted out with the help of the former so called “IASinvestigation”.The conflicts and differences then were categorized into the approach theyrelated to, with Frame of reference: The frame for the study is recognition and valuation for collecting andanalysing the data. The approaches are presented for the balance sheet and income statementapproaches as they form the basis for analysis. Annual Reports Act, the EG-directives and theK3-projects are described as they have a central role in the background to the study andfurther understanding of the data. “IAS- utredningen” is described in order to distinguishconflicts from differences that do not entail conflicts. Finally, the harmonization process ispresented for its central role in the study. Data: Data in the study reflect areas in which the differences in the regulations are reflected. Results: The study has concluded that there are several differences between the regulations,both in recognition and valuation. In general most differences in valuation have resulted inconflicts that have been linked to either the balance sheet approach or the income statementapproach. As for recognition, half of the differences consisted of those that led to conflictsand the other half that not has led to such conflicts. The connection to the approaches has notbeen clear in these areas even if they could be seen. SMEs have shown a clear move towardsthe balance sheet approach, primarily for valuation. In this case conflicts need to be addressedat a higher level. On the contrary Annual Reports Act is advocating the income approach to alarger extent for the same conflicts. The regulations will not be able to operate with oneanother without adjustments. The K3-project will be the place for these adjustments. / Syfte: Studien ska identifiera vilka konflikterna mellan IFRS for SMEs ochÅrsredovisningslagen är för att ta reda på om en anpassning behövs av svensk redovisning föratt uppnå internationell jämförbarhet. Metod: En deskriptiv metod har använts för att göra regelverken IFRS for SMEs och ÅRLjämbördiga för jämförelse i den komparativa metoden. Jämförelserna har observeratskillnader mellan regelverken. Varefter konflikter har sorterats ur med hjälp av den tidigareIAS- utredningen. Konflikterna och skillnaderna har därefter relaterats till hänförlig ansats föratt lyfta upp harmoniseringsbehoven på den nivå där de behöver åtgärdas. Referensram: I referensramen har erkännande och värdering förklarats för att kunnaanvändas som ramar för datainsamlandet och för analysen. Ansatserna återges och specifiktför balansräknings- och resultaträkningsansatserna då dessa ligger till grund för analysen.Även ÅRL, EG-direktiven och K3-projekten beskrivs då dessa har en central roll förbakgrunden till studien och den fortsatta förståelsen. IAS- utredningen beskrivs för att kunnasärskilja konflikter från skillnader som ej medför konflikter. Slutligen ingår en redogörelse förharmoniseringsprocessen. Data: Studiens data ger uttryck för de områden där det föreligger skillnader i regelverkensamt de faktiska skillnaderna. Resultat: Studien har kommit fram till att det föreligger ett flertal skillnader regelverkenemellan, både inom erkännande och värdering. I princip har alla skillnader inom värderinginneburit konflikter som kunnat kopplas till antingen balansräknings- ellerresultaträkningsansatsen. Inom erkännande har hälften av skillnaderna utgjorts av sådana sommedfört konflikter och den andra halvan sådana som inte medfört konflikter. Kopplingen tillansatserna har inte varit lika tydliga på dessa områden även om de kunnat göras. SME harvisat tydliga drag mot balansräkningsansatsen och flera, främst för värderings-, konflikterbehöver i detta fall angripas på denna nivå. ÅRL förespråkar istället resultaträkningsansatsen ihög utsträckning för dessa konflikter. Regelverken kommer inte att kunna användas medvarandra utan att en anpassning behöver äga rum. K3-regelverket blir spelplatsen för detansatstagande som kommer att behöva göras.

我國股市參與者向來以自然人為主，自然人所佔之比例約80%，即是一般俗稱的「散戶」。但散戶往往對於財務報表、業績、獲利能力等基本面資訊之依賴性極低，且無法使用及消化過於複雜之資訊，導致多數散戶投資者僅是抱著投機的心態盲目跟進，極容易成為公司內部人與市場中炒手不當得利的犧牲者。故本研究擬站在小額投資人之立場，嘗試由較為小額投資人熟知、容易瞭解且能直接反映企業營運優劣之「利潤」觀點出發，藉由分析損益表及現金流量表關鍵的財報資訊，可幫助投資人判讀企業體質好壞，進而能投資具成長性之企業，同時更能有效降低因投資失敗企業而遭受重大之損失之風險。 　　本研究以我國股票上市、上櫃、興櫃及公開發行公司為研究對象，探討所篩選出之損益與現金流量項目，對於評估企業經營績效與預測財務危機的效用，即判斷篩選的損益與現金流量項目是否對企業經營績效具有評價攸關性及對企業財務危機具有預測攸關性；並以獨立樣本t檢定、迴歸分析及Logistic分析，對假說進行檢定。 　　經過實證結果，獲致以下的結論： 1.損益與現金流量項目對企業經營績效之評價攸關性：本研究所選取之關鍵損益與現金流量項目均對企業短期、中期及長期經營績效具有顯著的解釋能力； 2.損益與現金流量項目對企業財務危機之預測攸關性：本研究所選取之關鍵損益與現金流量項目均對企業爆發財務危機前3年度內，區分出財務危機公司與正常公司之顯著差異，顯示所採取的變數具有差異性價值。 / The individual investors account for 80% as compared to 20% institutional investors, which characterized Taiwan’s stock market. Individual investors lack the capability to comprehend financial statements. They seldom rely on fundamental analysis of corporate performance to make investment decisions. In a stock market with the characteristics as Taiwan the individual investors are usually the victims of insider trading and market speculation. The purpose of this study is to identify certain financial items from income statement and the statement of cash flows which are easy to understand by the individual investors and are valuation relevant as well as possessing the capability to predict the financial distress of listed companies. Nine financial items from income statement and the statement of cash flows were selected for test and the results indicate that: 1.All selected financial items are valuation relevant in distinguishing short term, mid-term and long term operating performance. 2.All selected financial items are capable of predicting financial failure of enterprises three years preceding the financial distress emerge.
