Macháček, Martin ; Zelenka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Zelenková, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis concerns the legal and economical adjustment of bonds, a bond analysis and the accounting and reporting of bonds for entrepreneurs according to the Czech accounting regulations and standards and IFRS. The theoretical part is explained using examples of discount bonds and coupon bonds. Subsequently, both systems are compared and the finding reveals that the biggest difference is in the distribution of interest. There the IFRS strictly require the use of the effective interest rate. Whereas, according to the Czech accounting regulations and standards, there is the anticipated use of the effective interest rate only for financial institutions and large corporations. Entrepreneurs usually use particularly linear distribution of interest for their needs.
