Today all private corporations are obligated by statutory audit. The government of Sweden appointed an investigation to conclude if the audit should be statutory or not. The investigator presented on the third of April 2008 a report (SOU 2008:32) that suggests abolishment of the statutory audit for approximately 97 % of all private corporations in Sweden. This will result in certain effects on the banks credit rating because of the fact that the banks trust the audited accounts to have been audited by an independent audit.The most important in the banks credit rating are: personal judgement, business concept, business plan and repayment ability. The banks also use the private corporations audited accounts in its credit rating.We conducted a case study by interviewing four bank officials in different banks in Skövde and Tibro.

Under de senaste åren har det varit stort fokus på de svenska storbankerna Nordea,Handelsbanken, Swedbank och SEB i och med den finansiella kris som ägt rum världenöver. Det har varit stora debatter i media och det svenska folket har förlorat en del av sintillit till bankerna. I den här uppsatsen har vi undersökt om situationen i Sverige verkligenhar varit så allvarlig som påståtts eller om hela debatten har varit överdriven. Syftet medstudien har således varit att granska hur finanskrisen påverkade Sveriges storbanker.För att få svar på detta valde vi sju nyckeltal som vi ansåg relevanta för undersökningenoch beräknade sedan dessa för varje bank mellan åren 2000 och 2009. Till vår hjälp hadevi bankernas årsredovisningar som tillhandahöll den data som vi behövde till våraberäkningar.

Under den senaste tiden har en diskussion uppkommit om hur revisorer bedömer och formulerar fortlevnadsvarningar i årsredovisningen. Begreppet fortlevnadsvarning är till för att informera om tveksamheter påträffats gällande ett företags möjligheter till att fortsätta bedriva verksamheten. Den tidigare forskningen på området har haft som utgångspunkt att belysa och kvantifiera utfallen av fortlevnadsvarningar, vilket har visat på en avvikelse där tillförlitligheten borde ifrågasättas. Användandet av fortlevnadsvarningar borde belysas då årsredovisningens primära uppgift är att förse intressenter med betydelsefull och användbar information. Undersökningens syfte är att skapa insikt om och förståelse för hur företagsanalytiker använder sig av årsredovisningen och om fortlevnadsvarning är av betydelse vid kreditbedömning.

Syftet med denna studie är att bedöma besparingsskogar, allmänningsskogar samt häradsallmänningars, (i följande stycken gemensamt benämnt som allmänningar), behov av banktjänster. Samt vilka faktorer som påverkar valet av bank och skillnader mellan de olika allmänningarna och genom detta bedöma marknadspotentialen för Handelsbanken.Resultatet bygger på intervjumaterial som insamlats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.Arbetet har avgränsats till att endast omfatta en del av det totala antalet allmänningar och omfattar bara de med störst areal, samt de två förvaltningsbolag som förvaltar ett stort antal häradsallmänningar.Resultat visar på att allmänningarna är en kund som eftersträvar långsiktighet och som väger in andra aspekter än rent ekonomiska faktorer i valet av bank. Dock gör merparten av allmänningarna med jämna mellanrum upphandlingar av de nuvarande banktjänsterna, detta för att t.ex. få förbättrade räntor och avgifter. Allmänningarna uppskattar den personliga kontakten med banken och förordar inte att personalen behöver kunna den skogliga biten, utan kräver istället en mer en bred kunskapsnivå kring allmän företagsrådgivning.

The banking industry is a fundamental part of the economy in Sweden. Despite its importance, the competition and the concentration level within the Swedish banking sector is relatively unexplored. This paper aims to examine the development of the concentration level in the Swedish banking sector during a period of ten years, 2003 to 2013. The examined banks in the study are the four largest banks in Sweden; Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank, and four selected niche banks, ICA banken, Ikano Bank, Länförsäkringar Bank and Skandiabanken. In order to examine the development in percentage change, there are six selected variables; loans, deposits and borrowings (both public and households), net interest income and return on equity, which are observed during a period of ten years.
