Bachelor thesis in business administration with emphasis in accounting and auditing. Spring term 2011, Mälardalens Högskola.Authors:Jim Hansson, Filip Sahl and Pererik Sewerin.Advisor:Lennart Bogg.Key words:Abolition of mandatory auditing, optional audit, auditor, audit.Title:The role of audit in a credit review - impact from the creditor's perspectiveBackground:As of November 1st2010, auditing became optional for micro companies in Sweden. This leads to an opportunity for about 70 % of the joint-stock companies to choose whether or not to keep their auditors. Creditors are affected by this as they may receive a less trustworthy base to make a good credit review if many companies choose to proceed their accountings without the control of an auditor. Creditors have the option to require that companies are to be reviewed by auditors, while authorized accounting consultants may be a possible substitute as a quality control for the accountings.Purpose:The purpose of this thesis is to examine what impact optional audit has had in credit processes so far and look into alternative forms of reviews for businesses.Problem definition:? Does auditing simplify for the creditors in a credit review? ? Is there some kind of accounting that could be a substitute for the audit?Method:The study is qualitative in character through six interviews.

Titel: Årsredovisningspraxis i små och medelstora aktiebolag Ämne/kurs: Magisteruppsats i redovisning, 10 poäng Seminarium: September 1999 Författare: Henrik Alm, Erika Karlsson, Linda Riiner Handledare: Sigurd Hansson, Sven-Arne Nilsson Nyckelord: årsredovisningspraxis, små och medelstora aktiebolag, ÅRL, normgivande organ och finansiell rapporterng Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och förklara årsredovisningspraxis ismå och medelstora, icke börsnoterade aktiebolag. Metod: Metoden i uppsatsen är abduktiv, där teori och empiri alterneras och omtolkas i skenet av varandra under forskningsprocessen. Studien är inledningsvis av deskriptiv karaktär, men övergår efterhand i en explanativ fas, då praxis förklaras med de faktorer som påverkar denna i små och medelstor, privatägda aktiebolag. Undersäkningen är indelad i tre delstudier: en undersökning av tjugo företags årsredovisningar, en studie av litteratur om påverkande faktorer samt intervjuer med sex revisorer från olika edovisnings-byråer för att få en inblick i revisorernas påverkan på praxis, där studierna tillsammans bidrar till att ge en inblick i , samt en förklaring till praxis. Slutsatser: Av våra undersökningar drar vi bland annat följande slutsatser gällande årsredovisningens utformning och innehåll i små och medelstora bolag: ? Årsredovisningarna ser i stort sett likadana ut med minimal verbal information? Bolagen använder framförallt kostnadsslagsindelad resultaträkning? Den information som presenteras innefattar ej mer än vad lagen försekriver? Förvaltningsberättelsen är i de flesta fallen intetsägande.

Writers: Johan Lundqvist Eriksson and Elin SandbergSupervisor: Stig AnderssonEnglish title: Allocation of revenue in the hospitality industryKeywords: Revenue allocation, cost allocation, profit center, Du Pont model, taxes and manipulation of data.Date: January 2012Since the taxes for food and lodging has been different in Sweden for many years, the hospitality industry has come up with a way to save money on tax paying. When private customers stay for a weekend where the meals are included, the business is placing more than the relevant revenue on the lodging part, which has the lower tax. Because of this the results has improved and tax money has been saved. Now when the Swedish government has decided to lower the tax on food to the same level as the lodging, the chances for correct revenue allocation arises. When we approached the hospitality industry with our problem area a big interest was showed from the head chefs. They now see a chance to get more income on the meals and through this be able to show better results towards the owners.Two hotel managers at two different hotels and their head chefs were chosen for interviews.

Authors: Lars Johansson & Johan PetterssonTitle: ?There is way to much sports in the athletics? ? A study of Swedish sportsFootball has gone from being a hobby and a popular pastime into a billion-dollar industry, and clubs around Europe are therefore operated more and more like regular companies. Sweden's position in the UEFA rankings is a modest 23 rd place, behind nations such as Austria, Switzerland and Belarus. The economic climate in Sweden is often highlighted as a strong factor. When we started our study we agreed that this could be a major contributing factor to this relatively modest rank, but believed that there were also other factors that played a big role.

The ways designers work with craftsmen in other countries can vary alot,but still there are many similarities. In this study we make comparisonsbetween a number of projects involving three different designers and artisansin other countries and parallel that to our own work in South Africa.What we have seen is that there is some common denominators betweenthe different projects that are being taken care of in different ways.Some things that commonly attract the designers seem to be the skills ofthe craftsmen, as well as their colouring, patterns and materials. A furthercommon denominator in the projects is that people?s perception of qualityhas become an important issue. The products that are being developedare often sold in the country of the designer, and therefore a needto insure that the quality of the products is up to the standards expectedin that certain country has occurred.

Titel: Manufactured Destiny - hur svenska medier håller balansen på bortaplanFörfattare: Johan LindahlInlämnat: 29 maj 2009Kurs: Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikazionsvetenskap, Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation, GöteborgTermin: våren 2009Handledare: Bengt JohanssonKursansvarig: Ingela WadbringSidantal: 50, inkl. bilaga (kodbok)Syfte: att undersöka hur balanserade och rättvisande svenska nyhetsmedier var i sin rapportering från presidentvalet i USA 2008Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: 115 artiklar från tre svenska dagstidningar under veckorna före valdagen 4 november 2008Resultat i korthet: Studien visar att det under de berörda veckorna fanns en klar övervikt avartiklar där demokraten Barack Obama framstod som en trolig vinnare, medan republikanskemotkandidaten John McCain var på väg mot en sannolik valförlust. Obama förekom otvetydigtoftare än McCain i både text och bild. Andelen positiva omdömen om Obama kan också sägas ha varit fler än för motståndaren, såväl från tillfrågade väljare, som från intervjuade inflytelserika personligheter och analyserande artikelförfattare. Om detta innebär en oskälig obalans i rapporteringen kan dock diskuteras, eftersom materialet åtminstone delvis stödde sig på opinionsmätningar och andra bakgrundsfakta för att underbygga slutsatserna.
