The study presents the characteristics of different types of power plants in Ukraine, such as thermal, hydraulic, nuclear, geothermal, and tidal. Furthermore, the share of Ukraine’s contribution to the energy supply of other countries is indicated. Today, the United Energy System of Ukraine is one of Europe’s most significant energy com- plexes with seven regional electric power systems (REES), including Dnipro, Western, Crimean, Southern, Southwestern, Northern, and Central. The research presents the structure of electricity consumption by consumer groups in Ukraine. It indicates the extent of the destruction of Ukraine’s energy capacities by Russia’s invasion. The issue of developing electricity production from alternative energy sources in Ukraine is discussed. Permanent risks and the threat of destruction of energy system objects encourage managers of economic entities to carefully search for quick and accurate problem-solving tools for avoiding critical situations. The accounting system, in particular, management accounting, provides the in- formational component that satisfies the timeliness of providing boards with recommendations on making managerial decisions. The study highlights and describes the stages of implementation of management accounting in energy supply companies in Ukraine. The effectiveness of management accounting in this aspect is emphasized.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76874649","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}

The methods of analysis and processing of research results include descriptive and comparative analysis, as well as synthesis and deductive inference. The results indicate that the totalnumber of corporate bankruptcies and restructuring proceedings has increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research shows that in 2021, in comparison to the previous year, there were 65.8% more bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings, but most of them (82%) werecarried out in the form of simplified restructuring procedures for approval of the arrangement in-troduced as part of the anti-crisis shield. The basis of the study was state public aid spent to support businesses in coping with the negative economic and social consequences triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85390194","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}

The purpose of the research is evaluation of the development of the LGUs' operating surplus in the context of legal changes (enacted in 2019-2022) causing the said decline as well as the evaluation of the mechanisms compensating LGUs for that decline. The following were applied to accomplish the research objective:(1) quantitative analysis, taking into consideration the data of the Ministry of Finance presented in the reports on LGUs' budget implementation for 2020-2021 and multi-annual financial forecasts for the LGUs’ budget plan for 2022; (2) review of source literature and legislation related to the research subject. The analysis performed for the years 2020-2022 shows that the period of growth in the value of the operating surplus in all types of LGUs in 2021 in comparison to 2020 is followed by a significant decline in its value in 2022 (as planned). Across Poland, this applies to: municipalities, cities with county rights and voivodeships. Whereas, in the case of counties (on a Poland-wide scale), no operating surplus has been planned at all for 2022. The above situation may result not only in a decline in the capacity to finance investments from the operating surplus in LGUs, but also in the differentiation of these capacities within specific LGU types. Increased differentiation of this phenomenon in specific local governments may be affected by, inter alia, the adopted system of criteria of distribution of funds as part of the compensation for the decline in current income from PIT (especially in the development part of the general subsidy).","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85641931","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}

It refers to transactions in which the investment objective is determined not only by financial criteria (expected rate of return and risk) but also by non-financial aspects related to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues. The aim of the article is to diagnose socially responsible investing in the capital markets in spatial terms. An additional aim is to identify the strategies implemented by investors in individual markets. The classical methods of research were used in this article, such as the study of the literature concerning socially responsible investing and the method of desk research based on documents showing global trends in socially responsible investing in terms of value and investment strategies used by investors. Referring to statistics, it can be seen that socially responsible investing becomes a significant form of locating funds in a global capital market. In 2020, the global value of the SRI market amounted to over USD 35 trillion. However, it is not a homogeneous market, as evidenced by the varying rates of development of socially responsible investing in different regions of the world. It is also a market that evolves in terms of the investment strategies used. This is reflected in moving away from making investment decisions mainly with the use of negative/exclusionary screening to investments made on the basis of ESG integration.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88721944","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}

It also affects the long-standing process of political reforms aimed at promoting the efficiency of public sector units, their balanced budgets and financial stability. It is a concept defined in different ways, which is due, among other things, to its multifaceted nature and the lack of precisely defined measures to assess this phenomenon. The main objective of the paper was to assess the financial stability of rural municipalities in Poland’s Lublin voivodeship in 2016-2020. Within the framework of the main objective, ratio analysis and survey research was conducted. The paper was based on the study of literature on the subject, reports on the implementation of budgets in the studied municipalities published by the Regional Chamber of Accounts in Lublin, and a survey questionnaire. Based on the analyses, it was found that the studied municipalities in 2016-2020 recorded sustainability in terms of fiscal policy, and a stable level of financial liquidity and debt, albeit with a relatively low level of revenue independence. The crisis in 2020 caused by the Covid-19 pandemic caused a significant increase in the current expenditures of local government units compared to revenues, which were less than planned, although it did not significantly worsen the financial performance of the surveyed municipalities. In the opinion of the respondents (heads of rural municipalities), the vast majority of rural municipalities in the Lublin voivodeship were financially stable and the Covid-19 pandemic generally did not have a significant impact on their levels of stability.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76570721","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}

It has been found that psychological conditions of people and stock market sentiments play an important role in the decision-making process, and irrational investor behaviours, including largely herd effects, are particularly evident during the pandemic. The research shows that the occurrence of the coronavirus has not reduced the activity of Polish investors. Thus, significantly growing interest in shares of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange has been noted. The behaviour and attitude of market participants towards risk were volatile during the developing pandemic, which manifested itself in rapid buying of overvalued assets or rapid selling of assets.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75165217","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}

The scope of the financial statement and the obligation to audit depend on the classification of units based on their size. The required scope is narrower for micro and small entities than it is for larger organizations. The crisis may have influenced the size of entities and by that their classification and the scope of information that they need to disclose. The goal of this article is to verify whether post-pandemic demands for information, assuming it will be the same as pre-pandemic, can be fulfilled. The accessibility of information is connected with the level of security of engaging in business activities. Making changes in the criteria of an entity’s inclusion as an SME and in its obligation to audit can be one solution for the problem of insufficient information. The methodology used in this study is analysis of regulations and deductive reasoning. It showed that the effects of the pandemic, particularly the increase in the number of micro and small entities, can limit the accessibility of information.

It turned out that not only individual bank insolvencies but also spillovers from negative externalities among entities can cause serious threats to the financial sector. During the last 10 years, many international and national initiatives were taken to strengthen the soundness of the financial system, introducing a macroprudential perspective to financial supervision. However, the recent COVID19 pandemic resulted in a serious negative shock for many economies and their financial sectors. In this paper, using the network model we try to analyse how these recent unexpected developments affected the Polish banking sector with systemic risk. To analyse Polish bank stability we developed a formal stress-testing framework based on the network model that allowed systemic risk identification, modelling and measurement. We tried to integrate analysis of time and the cross-sectional nature of systemic risk.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88819944","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}

Financial data from 2017-2021 was adopted for the analysis. 69 heads of communes participated in the conducted survey. It was established that in the opinion of these leaders, income potential and financial independence are important factors affecting the financial stability of small communes, and their low level poses a threat to this stability. Three ratios were used to assess financial independence. The analyses showed that small communes were characterized by a low level of income independence and a high dependence on revenues transferred from the state budget, which is evident in the value of the expenditure independence ratio achieved.","PeriodicalId":34405,"journal":{"name":"Polityki Europejskie Finanse i Marketing","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75570041","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}
