The first one is accounting manipulation of reports, which is described in the part of the test detection models. Fraudulent conduct, whether by employees, management, or external person.

The primary and most important factor of the impact on the company is financial loss. Other important factors are the loss of customer, supplier and employee confidence and the loss of company's goodwill. The thesis should show and interconnect individual test models of financial reports on selected accounting units. In case these test models reveal possible manipulation of financial reports, it then means there was an economic crime commited. The three selected enterprises are from the same industry. They have the same period of observation and their development over time is tested by detection models. The selection of the companies is based on their reporting of profit or loss, cash flow and other necessary indicators used for test models. The enterprises are tested using the CFEBT model, Jones non-discretionary accruals and the Dechow-Dichev accrual quality model. The second part includes an analysis of economic crimes in the Czech Republic and describes some real cases. Data from 2014 to 2019 are analyzed in terms of frequency and in terms of loss expressed in CZK, with a special focus on accounting and tax crimes. The analysis is supplemented by the clarification of economic crime in the period under review.

VALDMANOVÁ, Dominika
The financial health of a company is important for the decision-making of a financial statement user for various reasons. It may be important for future investors to decide if they can invest in the company. In addition, it may also be important for a bank to decide whether the company can provide a credit. However, there are other cases where the user needs to know if the company is financially health. For this evaluation, there are selected the methods used to detect and evaluate the manipulation of financial statements. As these methods are selected the CFEBT model, the Beneish model and the Jones model of non-discretion accrual. Creditworthy models are used to determine whether the company is making any value for the future and there is any danger of bankruptcy. The creditworthiness index, the Tamari model and the IN05 model are selected as these models. In the diploma thesis, these methods are applied in six companies. There are the parent company named ABC a.s. and its five subsidiaries named with Roman numerals I-V. Names of companies are invention. In the practical part of the diploma thesis, the companies are analysed according to individual models and then there is determined the influence of subsidiaries on the parent company according the correlation coefficient. In the end the hypotheses are confirmed or refuted. The first hypothesis says that the whole consolidation unit is financially health. The second hypothesis assumes that the results of subsidiaries influence the results of parent company positively.

Risk management options for accounting errors and accounting fraud
ŠÍMA, Pavel
The topic of the thesis is " Risk management options for accounting errors and accounting fraud". The accounting should correspond to the actual situation, which should be displayed in a comparable manner and with the prescribed accounting methods. All financial statement items must be displayed faithfully and fairly. Honesty is associated with the use of accounting methods. When an entity uses accounting methods correctly, it can be stated that accounting is not only true but also fair. However, there are different valuation methods, and each method can lead to a different result. Therefore, it can be assumed that in practice there may also be purposeful manipulation. The aim of this thesis is to determine by means of detection models whether there are accounting manipulations with accounting statements for companies that have transport as their main activity according to CZ-NACE and at the same time evaluate the ability to detect accounting manipulations of these models. For detection and evaluation of possible accounting manipulations, selected detection models were used - Jones's non-discriminatory accrual, Beneish model and CFEBT model. As a complement to the detection model, the modified Taffler model, and the IN99 model were counted to determine the financial health of the entities in the sample.
