The thesis is thematically focused on the area of volunteering as a modern phenomenon occurring not only in the Czech Republic but in the whole world. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part.
The first, theoretical part, explains the basic theoretical background of the non-governmental sector with an emphasis on volunteer activity in existing non-governmental organisations. The theoretical part also presents the results of the researches of foreign and domestic experts on volunteering on which the research part of the thesis is based.
In the practical part of the thesis are analyzed two non-profit organisations - the Charity Ostrava and Slezská diakonie, which provide social services in the Moravian -Silesian region, and the company Arcelor Mittal, which is actively involved in the field of corporate volunteering. In the research part there are presented outcomes of the field research, which took place in the aforementioned non-profit organisations and the company, but also among public, where it was investigated what people know about non-governmental organisations in their close area, their opinion on volunteering and how they perceive volunteers. The outcomes from a field survey are then compared with foreign and domestic surveys.
The aim of the thesis is to propose possible options for changes in working with volunteers in the non-governmental organisations based on the findings, which could lead to streamlining of their work, an increase of the prestige of the volunteer work and a number of volunteers working in the social sector. Based on the investigation it was found that volunteering is beneficial to everyone involved. It allows an individual to actively participate in society, help others and spend free time in a meaningful way. The obtained findings help to improve volunteer work, identify potential reserves in the individual´s work and prevent possible conflicts.

The diploma thesis follows up a process of inventary in a chosen accountant unit, its found insufficiencies and its consecutive solution. The process of inventary belongs to activities that lead to completion of a closing financial statement of an organization and that is why all the actions and processes must be done with carefulness and accuracy according to law number 563/1991 of law collection about accountancy, which states, according to law of the European union, extent and way of managing the accountancy and all requirements for its conclusivness and conditions for handing it over to a state.
The theoretical part of the thesis is related to defining basic terms of inventory process. The valid law regulations, which are dealing with those issues, are stated there. Individual phases of the whole process, important intern regulations and documents, which are obligatory for every single accountant unit, are also stated in the theoretical part of the thesis. A continuity of the inventory of property and commitments in financial statements and statements is being described there.
The practical part of the thesis involves the process of inventory in a chosen non-profitable accountant unit of the district court in Jičín. In the individual phases of the inventory, when the physical and documentary stock-takings are being done, are found insufficiencies and proposals of their solutions. A complete process of inventory belongs to activities of the chosen accountant unit, on which state´s controlling institutions are focusing in recent years, because the activities involve economy of the state´s essets. A methodic instruction for the processing of inventory of property and commitments for an accountant unit is worked out in the last chapter of the practical part.
By the compilization of the diploma thesis a complete view on an inventory as a whole was given, which is a starting point for completion of a financial statement. While working out the thesis, rocess or system insufficiencies were analysed. These insufficiencies might cause that the accountant unit will not fullfill the § 6 paragraph 3 of law of accountancy, from which the compulsatory duty of inventory of property and commitments according to provision § 29 and § 30 of law of accountancy flows. The audit office can, on the basis of those insufficiences, proclaim that the inventory of property and commitments was not done correctly and can apply a sanction on the accountant unit. After the inventory process the accountant unit is compulsory to make an inventory report that is a substantial document together with financial statements, balance-sheet, profit and loss sheet and attachments to the authorization of the financial statements.
