Survey of Internal Auditors in Romania","authors":"Cezar Furtuna, Adela Ciucioi","doi":"10.20869/auditf/2019/155/016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20869/auditf/2019/155/016","url":null,"abstract":"In the era of continuous transformation, the role of internal audit has steadily increased, becoming one of the strategic pillars of today’s companies. In the current context, where corporate governance, risk management and internal controls are increasingly in the hands of regulators, shareholders and the general public, internal auditors have the task of reacting proactively and responsibly to the challenges of the market. Thus, it is important to understand the way in which internal audit activity is being carried out as well as its directions of development. This study aims to provide an overview of the priorities identified by companies in the field of internal audit and to illustrate opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the activity of internal audit departments The themes approached in this research aim to define the role of the internal audit function and to describe the way in which internal audit processes are currently being carried out. The research also aims to identify the prospects for transformation of the internal audit function from one that is focused on regulatory compliance into one that can add value to companies. Issues related to the impact of new technologies in process optimization are explored and another topic of interest is the perceived level of current staff skills and the extent to which the budgets and the size of the audit departments currently correspond to their business needs.","PeriodicalId":30958,"journal":{"name":"Audit Financiar","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44559902","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}

In this context, the paper aims at identifying the dimensions and trends of the transparency of real estate markets in 31 states, mostly European, in correlation with their economic development. Applying the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), t-Student test and regression analysis highlighted the strong and significant associations of transparency quantified by the Global Real Estate Transparency Index with the institutional environment, macroeconomic factors, technology, innovation and the social environment. The results of the research show that the most competitive and robust countries have the most transparent and mature real estate markets. Technology, innovation, infrastructure quality and expanded business networks imply new trends in transparency in developed countries. In emerging and developing countries, the quality of governance and lack of corruption are prerequisites for transparency in real estate markets.","PeriodicalId":30958,"journal":{"name":"Audit Financiar","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42547846","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}

Considering a sample of 60 acquisitions which involved at least one Romanian company in the position of the acquirer or the target, the authors considered the financial information of both companies as predictors for the stake that the acquiring company will buy in the target. Also, they considered the level of relatedness between the activities of the companies and the accounting practice of the target as factors with significant influence in this choice. The research results will show that the deal value paid, the productivity and the relatedness of the two companies significantly influence the stake purchased in the target company, but the accounting practice lead to a significant increase in the capacity of the proposed model to predict the variance of the final stake.","PeriodicalId":30958,"journal":{"name":"Audit Financiar","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46897333","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}
