{"title":"Tax knowledge and tax perception by students at the University of Szczecin","authors":"Dariusz Pauch","doi":"10.5604/01.3001.0016.2910","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0016.2910","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the level of tax knowledge and analyze the perception of taxes by students at the University of Szczecin. To achieve the goal, the sources of this knowledge and the respondents approach to tax avoidance are investigated. It also presents the differences in the perception of taxes between male and female students. Research method/approach: The research was conducted in the form of interviews using a paper questionnaire Paper & Pen Personal Interview (PAPI) on a sample of 927 students at the University of Szczecin between April and June 2020. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and are presented as tables and figures. To the best of the authors knowledge, research in this area is still very limited, which was confirmed by a system-atic literature review conducted from April to December 2021. Findings: The research results made it possible to achieve the goal and answer the questions posed in the introduction. The students were mostly characterized by an average or low level of knowledge about taxes. One in three respondents indicated that Poles pay higher taxes than other European countries. Women are more willing to pay taxes, treating it as an obligation (65%), while only 50% of the surveyed men think the same. Almost half of the respondents stated that failure to report income to pay lower taxes is an expression of the weakness of the tax system. Research limitations/implications: The analysis concerned only a single research group; therefore, the results should not be applied to a larger or the entire collective. However, they may contribute to further research. Originality/value: The article contains the results of primary research on tax knowledge and how young people from generation Z perceive taxes and the concept of tax morality. Most of the respondents were interested in tax subjects being introduced into the curriculum. Therefore, the results provide a basis for considering the introduc-tion of tax issues in all fields of economic study. The paper is one of the few in the Polish literature that contains an analysis of university students perceptions of taxes.","PeriodicalId":53342,"journal":{"name":"Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowosci","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47974178","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":"The new generation of the FASBs Conceptual Framework","authors":"Wojciech Nowak","doi":"10.5604/01.3001.0016.2909","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0016.2909","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The article presents and comments on the main structures, key approaches, and content of the new conceptual framework promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in December 2021.Methodology/approach: Descriptive-analytical and content analysis.Findings: After presenting the modernization of FASBs conceptual approach towards financial reporting, the article presents the results of this modernization. It shows how the primary users have been redefined and it also describes the quality and constitutive elements of financial statements, how the components of these elements are measured, and the principles for shaping general purpose financial reporting. The article points out important differences between the FASB Framework 2021 and the IFRS/IASB Framework 2018 regarding the definition of a reporting entity, the types of financial statements, the number and type of elements of the financial statements, the definition of assets, and the quality of financial information in the notes to the financial statements.Practical implications: FASB modernized approach verifies and develops the conceptual frameworks as a financial reporting theory. It confirms their role as the basis for the standard-setting function, and interpreting standards and financial statements. In this way, the general level of distrust towards financial reporting relevancy and reliability may be reduced, increasing the opportunities to use the new FASB framework for a broadened and deepened interpretation of Polish financial reporting and auditing regulations and practice. As a result, it allows them to be better shaped and taught, and it provides a more informed direction for research.Originality/value: This paper is probably the first public presentation in Polish of the ideas of the new FASB conceptual framework for financial reporting.","PeriodicalId":53342,"journal":{"name":"Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowosci","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47359628","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}

Garstka","doi":"10.5604/01.3001.0016.2905","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0016.2905","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The goal of this article is to verify if the observations of different views described by Jan Winiecki in the article Reflections on teaching economics: some observations and some proposals are also present in the teaching of accounting. It also investigates whether the proposals for developing a uniform way to present content are applicable in this area. Methodology/approach: The study was carried out based on the assumption that accounting plays a central role in a rational economy and used the critical analysis of the literature and student surveys.Findings: The answers to the questions lead to the conclusion that most students expected their lecturers views to be uniform, although, in reality, there are minor differences. Conclusions regarding the reasons for the expectation of uniformity focus on the ease of understanding, examination and graduation considerations, opportunities to broaden awareness, and to make accounting choices independently. Research limitations: A limitation is the number of respondents. Another limitation is that this research presents only the view of one group students.Originality/value: In accounting, different views can be presented. The main differences at the macro level relate to the purpose and objective of reporting, while at the micro level, they appear in the areas of valuation, simplification, and disclosures. To formulate and achieve learning outcomes, it is necessary to decide whom, what, and for what purpose a university teaches.","PeriodicalId":53342,"journal":{"name":"Zeszyty Teoretyczne Rachunkowosci","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71287616","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 main purpose of the study is to assess the usefulness of reporting information on budget expenditures by selected local government units.

In the empirical part, the study covers annual budget reports RB-28S from the implementation of the financial plan of budgetary expenditures for the years 20192021 of local government units. r-Pearsons linear correlation analysis was used. Findings: Statistical inference confirmed the low relevance of the expenditure commitment category in budget reporting. A very strong positive correlation with realized expenditures shows that showing the involvement of expenditures next to the incurred expenditures only doubles the value of expenditures.

Methodology/approach: Expert literature review, interpretative and inductive method. Findings: The duties and responsibilities of accountants in the medieval Muslim community were very broad (using information from the accounting system to ensure that the interests of the umma were respected in the context of religious law). In addition to operating seven accounting systems in the Caliphate and having knowledge of the complicated recording and control procedures associated with it, accountants had to demonstrate the ability to prepare periodic financial statements and budgets, used as an internal control tool and for the analysis and interpretation of reports. They also acted as auditors a mandatory practice in the Islamic Caliphate. They also offered their services to individual entrepreneurs (for the purpose of fulfilling zakat payments).

Methodology/research approach: The research looked at individual and consolidated annual reports of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, covering the real estate and automotive sectors. All (seven in total) annual stock exchange reports of companies listed on the stock exchange from the automotive sector were examined. Furthermore, in the real estate sector (29 out of 29), annual reports of companies listed on the stock exchange were examined. The method used was to analyze the full versions of the narrative sections of the annual separate and consolidated financial statements. The auditors reports and the entitys management reports were also analyzed.Findings: Two of the seven examined automotive companies recorded a loss and described in their additional explanatory notes the uncertainty regarding the going concern. The audited real estate companies showed no losses and did not present any threats to going concern.Research limitations/implications: The study was limited to two industries representing durable goods.

Based on Roychowdhury, real earnings management was proxied: abnormal operating cash flow, abnormal production costs, and abnormal discretionary expenses. Symptoms of financial difficulties were observed with discriminant analysis, net working capital strategy and ability to pay interest. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were used.Findings: There were statistically significant differences in earnings management between non-distressed and distressed companies. Financially healthy companies, as well as those with conservative net working capital strategies and a good ability to pay their interest, were more likely to manage earnings.
