Objective is not to define or diagnose crisis and suggest strategies, but to offer methodologies, that can be used to determine the influence of formal and informal institutions of company’s ongoing activities. To develop recommendations for avoiding business crisis situation and support its development. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the main provisions of the market economy, legislative and regulatory acts of Georgia and foreign countries, statistical data of Georgia, the global risks report, government bodies and business structures in this field. In the process of analysis of the actual material, together with the general scientific method of research, is used: systemic analysis, comparative analysis of scientific literature, statistical analysis, analogy and other methods. As a result of researches it is established that developed countries emphasize the importance of fairness, while developing countries are mainly focused on mobilizing budget revenues and lesser consideration of fair taxation principles, since the tax system performs a fiscal function more effectively than developing countries. In our opinion, the main idea of tax policy should be the optimal distribution of tax literacy on the basis of a direct definition of income of taxpayers or progressive taxation. Practical implementation of the proposed proposals will facilitate further improvement of the social climate in the country, revitalize small and medium businesses, and solve the problem of employment in the country.","PeriodicalId":145106,"journal":{"name":"Science and Studies of Accounting and Finance Problems and Perspectives","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115316344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF PROFITABILITY FACTORIAL ANALYSIS","authors":"Izolda Chiladze","doi":"10.15544/SSAF.2018.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15544/SSAF.2018.02","url":null,"abstract":"Profitability is one of the fundamental directions of the financial stability of enterprises. Resources in nature are finite. Thus, the effective use of resources by each enterprise is of great interest to the public. The Profit is a means of expanding of production, of material incentives, of growth of investments and state revenue. Profit is also used by enterprises to finance employees’ awarding charitable and other programs. So, in order to make the enterprise profitable, it is important for owners, employed personnel, the state, and the whole society. Consequently, the research of the factors that increase the profitability of enterprises is always relevant. Purpose of the article is to create a multifactorial model of profitability. Therefore, the object of research is the system of indicators of profit and profitability. The article discusses different indicators of profit and profitability of the enterprise. On the basis of their logical and qualitative analysis, the most general indicator was selected: the ratio of annual profit (profit before taxation) to total assets. The purpose of the research was exactly to create a new factor model of this indicator. Based on the logical analysis, synthesis and professional judgment methods, eight indicators were selected which influence the profitability change and whose insertion (layout) into one model is possible and reasonable. And the method of so-called absolute difference is used to measure the influence of factors affecting profitability. For the testing of this model, the article uses the data of the Teliani Valley financial information of the Georgian wine company. This company was very interesting because it was the most financially stable and high-profile one but it became unprofitable for the past three years. As a result of the logical and empirical analysis of the factor-indicators of the new multi-factor model, it is obvious that this model can be used in all branches of the economy, except for commercial banks. Annual use of this factor model of profitability will be intellectual assistance for management of companies in order to find negative factors for profitability change and to make relevant decisions.","PeriodicalId":145106,"journal":{"name":"Science and Studies of Accounting and Finance Problems and Perspectives","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121698190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baltic States is market, which traditionally is perceived as one, however it is comprised of 3 separate stock markets. Research aim was to conduct comparative analysis of stock market development performance post-recession in the Baltic States.. In order to perform analysis, number of listed companies, their market capitalization and structure in Baltic States were analyzed and also compared to main economic indicators structure in 2008-2018 6 months. The main research methods are: analysis, synthesis, the logical construction method, the induction and deduction methods, as well as time series analysis. Authors have determined main stock market performance indicators and compared stock market indicators structure with Baltic region’s economic structure. Research results indicates that number of listed companies had increased only in Estonia, also market capitalization there had experienced their value to more than double in analyzed period. In Lithuania number of companies had declined, while market capitalization the growth was slower when compared to in Estonia, while more linear. In turn, stock market capitalization and number of listed companies in Latvia were declining in 2008-2018 6 months. Overall number of listed companies in Baltic States was decreasing, while their market capitalization is increasing, but still is only 60% of value it was in pre-recession year 2007. In Estonia and in Lithuania average listed companies are larger in size, when compared to in Latvia. Size of average listed companies on stock market in Estonia and in Lithuania more than doubled in size, while in Latvia it showed insignificant growth. Stock market indicators’ structure had insignificant deviations from the main economic indicator structure in 2008, while in 6 months 2018 dynamics in Latvia stock market parameters had dropped in the structure among all 3 Baltic States. Overall, in Latvia stock market is lagging behind, when compared to one in Estonia and in Lithuania in analyzed period, thus all 3 Baltic States has had asymmetrical recovery and development speed post-recession.","PeriodicalId":145106,"journal":{"name":"Science and Studies of Accounting and Finance Problems and Perspectives","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116695090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having considered that there is a huge variety of controlling definitions as well as explanations and interpretations of concepts, the content analysis method was used for examining the controlling concept. The analysis of the content of controlling definitions revealed that significant differences among the controlling concepts are related to identification of the research fields of controlling as well as distinguishment of dominant elements defining the goal, purpose and activities of controlling. After systematizing the concepts it was determined that controlling has to be analysed as a system combining narrower fields of research (procedural, functional, instrumental). After carrying out the analysis of dominant elements of controlling provided in the definitions it was revealed that most of them emphasize that controlling is oriented towards achieving the company's goals without specifically mentioning these goals. It is suggested to widen this concept by indicating that controlling has to be oriented towards achieving strategic and operational goals and concrete results of these activities have to be reflected through creation and increase of the company's value. Such approach is based on the attitude that the purpose of creating and introducing every new management system, including controlling, has to be related to additional value which, in the long run, can be created by connecting strategic and operational activities. When analysing the concepts of controlling in the respect of designation of dominant activity fields it was noticed that the management support activity is mentioned the most often and in the controlling system it is realised through various other activity fields. Their recurrence frequency in the provided definitions differ; yet the most frequently mentioned activities are those of planning, control and information support. Taking into account the fact that current controlling definitions do not identify the conditions under which this system would function efficiently it is appropriate to widen the definition of controlling in this respect by indicating that development of a controlling system flexibly responding to the changing external and internal environment as well as oriented towards factors creating a company's value is efficient in competitive and dynamic business conditions.

Therefore, as market conditions change so rapidly, there is a need to resume research on this topic. There were selected ratios from the each financial ratios group that may have a relationship with the stock prices. The analysis was implemented by using the data of Lithuanian milk processing companies listed on the Baltic stock exchange over the period from 2010 to 2017. Correlation analysis was performed to determine which financial ratios influence the stock prices. The statistical significance of the relationship between the stock prices and the fixed asset turnover and absolute short-term solvency (the increase of the fixed assets turnover and absolute short-term solvency ratios decrease the stock prices). Spirmen correlation coefficient was calculated for each company individually. The results of the correlation analysis were based on a statistically significant linear multivariate regression model, which describes how the stock prices depend on the fixed asset turnover and short-term solvency ratios: the higher turnover of the fixed assets and short-term solvency ratios – the lower stock prices.","PeriodicalId":145106,"journal":{"name":"Science and Studies of Accounting and Finance Problems and Perspectives","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124357526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"ATTRACTIVENESS OF LATVIAN, LITHUANIAN AND ESTONIAN VENTURE CAPITAL MARKETS FOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS","authors":"I. Jakušonoka, K. Zarina","doi":"10.15544/SSAF.2018.03","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15544/SSAF.2018.03","url":null,"abstract":"Business start-ups, small and medium sized companies face financial difficulties to finance their innovative activities, which hinders innovative products from commercialization. This mainly results from the high risks and information asymmetries involved in such projects. Standard debt financers are reluctant to take these risks, besides the young enterprises lack collateral to receive the credit. However, the risk tolerance for investors differs as well. One of the alternatives for bank loans is venture capitalists, who rather become partners than creditors of young, innovative companies with growth potential. Particularly venture capital or the so-called “smart money” is what financially supports such business ventures, provides funding for technological transfer and commercialization. The authors of the present paper have chosen to examine and compare the venture capital attraction possibilities in the Baltic States using Venture Capital and Private Equity Country Attractiveness Index (by Groh et al.) data for 2012-2018. Venture capital market development is currently a very topical issue for the Latvian government, taking into consideration the critical importance of venture capital for financing innovation. Becoming the leader in the venture capital sector and No. 1 choice of start-up companies in the Baltics are now the objectives of the government of Latvia. It was therefore relevant and important to compare venture capital attraction possibilities in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania to see and analyse in which aspects Latvia lags behind its neighbouring countries and in which it succeeds. The paper compares the six main factors or key drivers which determine the attractiveness of venture capital markets. According to Groh\u0000et al. (2016), these factors are: 1) Economic Activity; 2) Depth of Capital Market; 3) Taxation; 4) Investor Protection & Corporate Governance; \u00005) Human & Social Environment and 6) Entrepreneurial Culture & Deal Opportunities. However, the results of the research reveal that the main problems for international investor attraction in the Baltic States are underdeveloped capital markets and low economic activity. Latvia, unfortunately, is the most unattractive for international venture capital investors. Nevertheless, it has experienced the fastest growth during six years, which means that there is potential for becoming a leader in the venture capital sector. The present paper reveals the aspects to be improved for becoming more attractive for venture capital investments.","PeriodicalId":145106,"journal":{"name":"Science and Studies of Accounting and Finance Problems and Perspectives","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123230934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
