 IAS 40 allows two methods of valuation for investment properties, fair value model and cost model. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what drive property companies to disclose their investment properties at fair value. In order to understand their choice, we use accounting choice theory and the three factors this theory describes, information asymmetry, allowing opportunism and agency costs. To answer our purpose, we have from a qualitative approach performed semi-structured interviews with respondents from five of the largest listed property companies in Sweden. The results suggest that firms have chosen the method that is most effective in the valuation of investment properties.

Det allt mer globala företagandet har bidragit till skapandet av IFRS 7, vilket är en gemensam standard för upplysningar rörande risker för finansiella instrument. För noterade bolag med räkenskapsår som börjar 1 januari 2007 är den nya standarden obligatorisk. Detta innebär att även ickefinansiella företag måste tillämpa den.Studien inriktar sig på att analysera hur svenska industriföretag har tillämpat de nya kraven på redovisning som IFRS 7 ställer på upplysningarna för kredit-, likviditets- samt marknadsrisk. Data har inhämtats från 2007 års årsredovisningar och författarna avser att utgå från hur de kvalitativa egenskaperna relevans, begriplighet, tillförlitlighet och jämförbarhet påverkas av införandet.Författarna kommer i slutsatserna fram till att de studerade industriföretagen lever upp till de högre kraven på upplysningar som behandlar deras finansiella instrument, men att skillnader i omfattning och upplägg förekommer. De kvalitativa egenskaperna påverkas övervägande positivt.

Bakgrund och problem: IASB beslutade 2008 att ersätta IAS 39 med IFRS 9 då IAS 39 ses som alltför omfattande och komplex. Processen har delats upp i tre faser. Fas 1 behandlar klassificering och värdering, fas 2 behandlar nedskrivningar och fas 3 behandlar säkringsredovisning. Denna uppsats behandlar endast fas 2. Både redovisare, revisorer och användare av finansiella rapporter anser standarden för finansiella instrument vara komplex.

In this thesis an explorative study was undertaken with the aim to study how a number of private care providers, as well as politicians and officials from councils in and around the Stockholm and Uppsala counties, think about the future of the Swedish elderly care from a property perspective, i.e. homes for the elderly. The analysis shows that there is a demand for capacity in 6 out of 16 municipalities, and that the property is an important part of this capacity, and the fulfillment of it. This was mainly due to the cost of capital, but also because of several other factors such as lack of land, a wish to guide the design, ideology, and in many cases a wish to use the property as an instrument of domination to control private health care providers.Also, the property was show to be connected to economic competition, to freedom of choice, and to quality. The problems related to the property in the market for elderly care still remains to be solved.

Efter många års pianospel med inriktning på klassisk musik med det akustiska pianot i fokus insåg jag när jag började spela pop och rock att det då antogs att jag skulle behärska många olika klaviaturinstrument. Inte alltid helt lätt, då det inte finns någonting som säger att du till exempel är en bra orgelspelare bara för att du är en duktig pianist. I mitt examensarbete ville jag fördjupa mig i några klaviaturinstrument för att fundera på hur man spelar på dessa i olika musikaliska sammanhang och vilka olika spelsätt de genom sin teknik för med sig. Jag skrev tre låtar, en för varje valt instrument (piano, orgel, Clavinet) och spelade in dessa, utan klaviatur. Sedan gjorde jag en version av varje låt med varje instrument för att se hur jag själv spelade på olika sätt beroende på instrument.
