Parallel to this process, the First International Turkish Geographical Symposium (IFRS) was organized on 25-26 October 2011 in order to determine the level of preparation for the applications in our country and to reach the conclusions. Then, the second International Turkish Geographical Symposium IFRS was held on 16-17 June 2012 with the aim of reviewing the transition period and reaching comparable data. Finally, the third IFRS Symposium was held not only to discuss the results of the application in the first six months of 2013 but also to improve the recommendations between 7-8 September 2013. There was no any other symposium convened in the Turkish Regions named International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and no one covered the areas of IFRS issues. Therefore, it was expected that from the past symposia, Turkish-speaking countries would be pioneering the application of IFRS. In this study presented at the Turkish regions, International Symposium, we aim to examine the contributions made by the IFRS. In this context, the papers presented, their number and nature as well as focused standards were examined according to universities, professional titles, joint studies and research methodologies used. Consequently, we believe that it is possible to determine the density area of the papers that are presented, it has been determined which ones are lacking.

Author(s): Koray Tuan / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 6/2013

Turkish Commercial Code No. 6762, which remained in force for over 55 years, has provided for the development of commercial activity in a specific order. However, Turkish Commercial Code was insufficient to cover the current needs in the face of major changes occurring in the economic and trade life of Turkey and the rest of the world. This situation certainly gave rise to the need for preparation and implementation of an update commercial code. For this purpose, the New Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 (New TCC) entered into force on July 1, 2012. Code No. 6335, as a 50 articles revision package, entered into force in conjunction with the New TCC published in Official Gazette No. 28339, dated June 30, 2012 in order to prevent problems that might arise in practice and to facilitate adaptation of legislation before effective date of the New TCC. In this study, the radical innovations and regulations on the order of entry of commercial books and financial reporting issues under the Code No. 6102, which also includes the changes of Code No. 6335, were examined and evaluated.

A Comparative Analysis Of Property Taxation Within European Union

Author(s): Ciprian Sipos / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

The correct settlement of a property taxation system is a topic of interest at the moment, which draws attention in economic or academic debates. One of the most convenient alternatives and easier to implement in order to raise revenues to the state budget is the taxation of property. The comparative analysis of property tax systems in the European Union reveals the need to develop and modernize the property tax system in the new member countries. The tax paid by taxpayers who own property is considered the tax with the fewest negative effects on economic growth, given the immobility of the subject of taxation. This reduces the behavioural effects of this type of tax and minimizes economic distortions. For this reason, is considered necessary to be presented the recent European perspective regarding the taxation of property, be it buildings for housing or special purpose, owned by individuals or corporate. In these conditions, the paper aims to analyze the correlation between the purchasing power of citizens of EU28 countries and the level of property taxes and to perform a grouping of European Union countries according to these indicators. The findings can help governments of the new member countries of European Union to develop a property tax system that would lead to the economic development.

A Critical Review of Emotional Intelligence and Leadership

Author(s): Ali Çaglar Güllüce / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

The role of emotional intelligence and leadership is becoming increasingly important. Effectiveness relies on the ability of leaders to respond to ongoing pressures and to manage others efficiently. One goal of the emotional intelligence is to improve the effectiveness of today’s and future leaders by implementing rigorous standards for selecting, developing, and assessing leaders. This focus on leader selection and development has prompted an interest in examining the qualities of successful leaders. Recently, interest in the new concept of emotional intelligence has flourished as a result of the claims suggesting that emotional intelligence can be used to select and develop successful leaders. Leaders who exhibit heightened levels of emotional intelligence may be more likely to engage in transformational leadership behaviours than those individuals who possess lower levels of emotional. However, only a few studies have examined the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership. The purpose of this paper is to present a review of emotional intelligence models and measures, and to make a conceptual link between components that fall under the concept of emotional intelligence and effective leadership behaviours.

A European map regarding the strictness of the transfer pricing regulations

Author(s): Ioana Neacsu (Ignat),Liliana Feleaga / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2017

In the context in which transfer pricing may represent a mechanism through which multinationals have the possibility to move funds internationally, in order to prevent the base erosion and profit shifting between multinationals, countries over the world have adopted various transfer pricing regulations. Furthermore, some of the countries adopted stricter regulations than others. The objective of our research was to identify the level of strictness for the transfer pricing regulations from the European countries. To achieve this objective, we analyzed the transfer pricing regulations of all European countries and we built a transfer pricing strictness index, based on which we defined 4 categories of countries (where category 1 includes the countries with the least strict transfer pricing regulations and category 4 countries with the strictest regulations). After that, we illustrated how these categories are distributed on the European map. In order to collect the information, we used the transfer pricing guides issued by the Big Four companies for the year 2015. The study`s results show that the strictness of the transfer pricing regulations decreases from the west of Europe to east. Moreover, most of the countries were included in category 2, respectively category 3, meaning that the transfer pricing regulations from the European continent are not so flexible, but in the same time are not so strict.

Author(s): Violeta Keršuliene,Zenonas Turskis / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2014

In the preceding decade, economic and social costs brought by financial statement fraud have shaken markets, devastated investment portfolios and reduced confidence in financial reporting. A financial department is special in the way it needs to conform to standards. Many individual attributes considered for the selection of a chief accounting officer, such as organisational skills, personality, leadership etc. This paper focuses on a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) algorithm, which integrates the principles of fusion of fuzzy information, additive ratio assessment method with fuzzy numbers (ARAS-F), fuzzy weighted-product model and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The proposed method is apt to manage information assessed using both linguistic and numerical scales in a decision making problem with a group of information sources. The computational procedure is illustrated through the problem related to the selection of a chief accounting officer.

A Managerial Perspective on Corporate Social Responsibility for Start-ups in Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia

Author(s): Irina-Eugenia Iamandi,Laura-Gabriela Constantin,Sebastian Madalin Munteanu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The main objective of this chapter is to emphasize and provide a comparative analysis between the development of corporate social responsibility in start-ups in the newest member countries of the European Union – three Southeastern European countries bordering on the Black Sea (Romania and Bulgaria) and the Mediterranean Sea (Croatia). Three theoretical propositions are tested and particularly confirmed for the start-ups in the analyzed countries, envisaging the importance of this type of firms after the countries’ accession to the EU and the corporate social responsibility development especially for supporting business objectives. A series of similarities and differences between the empirically investigated start-ups in the three countries are identified and analyzed in order to offer a thorough managerial approach for designing and implementing corporate social responsibility in start-ups at strategic, functional and operational levels. The results reveal that social, environmental, educational or sports objectives are not separately supported from the everyday business operations, but they are an integral part of the corporate activities and they pertain to the inner essence of the investigated companies. Considering the financial restraints burdening startups, a set of measures are finally proposed for affirming the business sustainability on the long-run and benefitting of the advantages induced by corporate responsible behavior.

A Model of Internal Audit in the Company Management System

Author(s): Albina MUKHINA / Language(s): English / Issue: 1(23)/2017

An issue of justification of elements of the internal audit integrated system, development of its model focus upon the increased enterprise management efficiency, as well as its inclusion into the management system are believed to be debatable and have to be solved both within a particular enterprise, and at the state level. As a result of the analysis of approaches to definition of internal audit in the scientific and educational literature, the author determined several problematic issues regarding interpretation of the internal audit essence. A model of the internal audit system for selfidentification in the enterprise management system is developed to improve the internal control efficiency; a model implementing a comprehensive approach focused upon achieving corporate goals is offered.

A scientist in the board effect on recognition of R&D outcomes in private firms' reports

Author(s): Anna Bialek-Jaworska / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2016

The paper aims to identify factors influencing the management decision of private companies regarding the capitalization of expenditures on R&D outcomes in the assets with impact of a scientist in the supervisory versus management board taken into account. Due to the strong impact of tax law on the accounts of private companies, the Polish context provides an interesting field for studies of R&D outcomes recognition since both expensing and capitalization of R&D costs are permitted within tax regulation, whereas Polish GAAP regulation considers R&D capitalization as similar to IAS 38 for successful developmental works. The research analyses data of 15,041 non-financial companies for years 2003-2013 used the logit panel and tobit panel methods. Results confirm that scientists on a supervisory board are more aware of the need to disclose information about the success of commercialization and persuade companies to capitalize expenditures on R&D outcomes. More indebted companies and entities that realize projects co-financed from grants for fixed tangible or intangible assets, are more likely to capitalize higher expenditures on R&D outcomes in their assets. Conversely, private firms with patents, greater growth opportunities or a scientist on the management board are less likely to capitalize spending on R&D outcomes.
