Roe, Jana ; Mejzlík, Ladislav (advisor) ; Žárová, Marcela (referee) ; Tumpach, Miloš (referee)
In the last 20 years, IASB IFRS has been promoted as the IFRS has been adopted by many major economies as for financial reporting and is poised to become even more widely accepted and used in the near future, with the main objective of unifying world financial reporting by making statements more comparable. The second key player in the field of financial reporting is US GAAP, used by American publicly traded companies, accounting roughly for approximately one-third of the world's capitalization. Although many countries, in concluding members of the EU, have accepted IFRS without significant changes to their existing financial reporting standards or their infrastructure, SEC in the USA has lead a long process of convergence with IFRS from the technical side and also the regulators and general environment has been preparing for the change, with the aim of ensuring smooth and successful transition, resulting in a higher quality of IFRS adoption. The main problem, which leads to the research presented in this dissertation is whether to approach international accounting harmonization from the top-down or bottom-up. The main objective of the dissertation is was to contribute to the analysis of the significance of the impact of non-accounting (environmental) factors on financial reporting quality, specifically the adoption of IFRS. The dissertation accomplishes the main goal by utilizing the survey method of analysis to accumulate research to date, analyze available evaluation methods and to describe the control environment, USA. The second stage of the analysis involves constructing a comprehensive evaluation model, which enables a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between environment and financial reporting. The model developed in the dissertation is intended for use by researchers for a comprehensive, inter-disciplinary, empirical study of the environmental effects on financial reporting.

Ďurianová, Gabriela ; Mejzlík, Ladislav (advisor) ; Králíček, Vladimír (referee) ; Pelák, Jiří (referee) ; Tumpach, Miloš (referee)
The doctoral thesis deals with the evidence in accounting in terms of Information and Communication Technologies. The aim of the thesis is to gather all of the available information about the ICT in accounting, to emphasize the impacts of ICT on accounting and following draw the attention to the risks which result from the application of ICT. In order to achieve the aim the qualitative analysis and the search of the accessible information resources are used. Some parts of the thesis are demonstrated on examples. The purpose of single chapters is to discuss, according to the theoretical base defined, subsequently all phases of the life cycle of accounting documents which are presented as financial statements at the output from the accounting. Special attention is given to accounting evidence. The last part of the thesis has application nature. The use of XML in financial reporting is demonstrated there in the real existing and secured systems based on ICT. According to the analysis made I came to the conclusion that because of the requirement for the reliability of accounting the internal control system has growing importance. Regardless the technologies used there is need to preserve the evidence at the level of accounting record during all of its life cycle phases -- when it is made out or received, when it is transferred, conversed to some other form and archived. I dealt also with another important phase of the life cycle of accounting records -- with the evidential financial reporting. There I came to conclusion that key phases are following: Firstly, there is need to provide evidential linkage between bookkeeping and the statements assembled. Further it is crucial to assure secured transfer of the statements to the final storage place or publishing location of the statements. Finally it is desirable to consider trustworthy storage place for the statements and also its evidential method of publishing them on the web. It is possible to deduce from the statistics available that information and procedures described in the thesis do not correspond with the actual ordinary practice in the Czech Republic. More likely it can be seen as a sum of the knowledge which can be technically and legally used by the accounting entities. Its wider use can be expected in the following years.

Účtování internetových domén na zákldě německého Obchodního zakoníku (HGB) a IFRS
Schneider, Florian ; Mejzlík, Ladislav (advisor) ; Žárová, Marcela (referee) ; Tumpach, Miloš (referee)
The goal of this dissertation was to conduct an analysis of domain name accounting according to HGB and IFRS, based on generic, qualified and personal domain names and in consideration of the effect of the relationship to brands and websites as related assets on their recognition, measurement and presentation in the balance sheet. In this regard, the focus of interest lied in clarifying the differences and similarities in domain name accounting, between the rather creditor-oriented HGB and the more capital market-oriented IFRS, between the major types of domain names and between theory and practice.

Nekoncepčnost koncepčního řešení odložené daně
Filinger, Marek ; Žárová, Marcela (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Dana (referee) ; Tumpach, Miloš (referee)
This dissertation entitled "Deferred Tax and its Conceptual Complexities" addresses two immensely complex and intricate issues of deferred taxes and business combinations. Its aim is not only to analyse the development of accounting standards both individually and in mutual dependence, but also, with the help of scholarly works and practical reflections, to draw conclusions on the current state of accounting for deferred tax and on the process of international convergence. In order to achieve this goal, the following approaches were used: close reading of accounting standards as well as professional papers, analysis of the past development from both historical and regional perspective, and deduction of the author's personal conclusions using illustrative charts and a practical example. The dissertation is composed of three interlocking parts looking at deferred tax on its own, the deferred tax in business combinations and deferred tax in a broader context. It is evident, that deferred tax lies at the core of the whole study; however, it does not mean that the ultimate purpose was to dwell on its tiniest details. On the contrary, details, such as the distinction between enacted and substantively enacted tax rates and laws, are pointed out only to shed additional light on the general situation -- especially as the short-term convergence project on deferred taxes is coming to its end -- and on the role of rules versus principles in the current accounting standards, especially on the role of the true and fair view principle. In the first part, the fundamental building blocks (such as the methods of accounting for deferred taxes and the various differences) are introduced from the viewpoint of standards applicable in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the Czech Republic, and of International Financial Reporting Standards. All the standards are first discussed in chronological order with only the defining issues being analysed; afterwards, the standards are grouped according to the relevant standard setters and discussed in greater detail. The overall picture summarises the main points of the first three chapters. The second part provides the reader first with a general overview of deferred taxes in business combinations, and then focuses on deferred tax assets and the temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. The conceptual inconsistencies and the gradually increasing complexity are portrayed using illustrative charts and the results of a simplified practical example based on the data taken from the standards themselves. The conclusion of this part is quite simple: something needs to be done. The question is what. The third part tries to provide the answer. The tentative conclusion is that the path followed by UK standards might currently be the most principle-based, and therefore it could be worth looking at; moreover, it can show that the effort devoted to the reconciliation of US and international standards might be worthless unless it also reconsiders the logic of using the balance sheet liability method with comprehensive allocation but without discounting. The competition among individual standard setters has proved to be of a great importance as it demonstrates that the acceptable alternatives are working not only in the minds of academics, but also in the real world. Finally, the issues of individual responsibility and professional judgement are raised, the pros and cons weighed, and the direction for further research indicated.

Accounting, legal and tax implications of cross-border mergers in EU
Skálová, Jana ; Mejzlík, Ladislav (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Hana (referee) ; Tumpach, Miloš (referee)
The purpose of my dissertation was to make an analysis of factors influencing the process of the carrying out of the cross-border merger of the Czech company with the company in the European Union. Solution procedure stems from a general definition of acquisitions and mergers, their historical development, reasons for the carrying out thereof, through the picture of these processes in international standards of financial reporting up to the regulation in the European Union. When analyzing the rules for cross-border mergers within the EU, I ascertained problematic places consisting in non-finalization of harmonization - in accounting context - of mergers, and in possibilities of a selection of a tax solution. Apart from the Czech legal regulation, I also analyzed the Slovak legal regulation since the last application part contains a practical example of merger of the Czech company and two Slovak companies carried out in 2009 and prepared on the basis of empirical data.
