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.

I conducted this examinasions work because I want to find out how loan to farmes are working and more specific towards younger farmers. What you have to think about before you go to the bank and what the banks are thinking about lending money to farmers. This work is based on an investment plan propasal for 20 000 laying hens on a farm in the Kalmar area. The investment plan propasals have two diffrent alternetives, one farm on 25 hectares and one on 50 hectares. I have chosen this becouse I wanted to study how the diffrent sizes of farms are changing the banks thoughts about lending money. These investment plan propasals have included four banks with questionnaire and deep interview.

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.

Social phobia is a fear which limits a person's capabilities in daily situations. The fear can be so strong that a person can distance themselves from all social situations, for example education, marriage, sports activities etc. The purpose of this study is to discover whether there are any correlations between social fear and choice of educational program, between social fear and sex, and between social fear and Internet use. Questionnaires were administered to 80 upper secondary pupils. Each questionnaire answer was assigned a certain score, which was then coded in SPSS, the highest scores corresponding to highest degrees of shyness.

The purpose of our study is to get more knowledge about how moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work. This because we find that a big part of social work involves ethic reflections and that is why we find it important for social workers to have knowledge about how they should and can think and act in these situations. Ethic statements exist for social workers to use in their work but we haven?t found any guidelines for concrete situations and that?s why we decided to study this area. Questions we want to answer are how do the social workers define moral dilemmas in social work? How do the social workers deal with moral dilemmas in their work? How do moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work? This is a qualitative study with interviews from seven social workers from one social service office although they are from different units.

In Sweden the social assistance from a historical perspective, has been a part of the social legislation, since the 18th century. In that time called poor relief. Through the centuries this has established the social assistance we have today. With focus on the child, we have attempted to illustrate how the social workers consider the child perspective when they are dealing with the social assistance. We wanted to get a view of how the social worker reasons about needs the children have and how they can see that the benefit has been provided for.

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.
