Laws, regulations and generally accepted accounting principles hold options on how companies should recognize revenue. Generally accepted accounting principles are determined by standard-setting bodies as the Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Supervisory Authority, which is influenced by international standard-setting bodies as the IASB. Service revenue is generally recognized when performance is completed, but there are variations in when a performance is considered complete. The different accounting options available create difficulties in comparing companies over time and between companies, which in turn creates difficulties to achieve a true and fair view. By clarifying what methods and principles in accounting for service income the unlisted companies in Sweden are using and why these differences exist, we have been able to study how the comparability and the true and fair view is affected by these differences.

Borgen är ett avtal där en person, gentemot en annan, tar på sig ansvar för infriandet av en förpliktelse, som en tredje person har ådragit sig. Den nu gällande lagstiftningen är från 1734. Merparten av de regler som gäller för borgen, finns ej i författningar, utan vilar på oskriven rätt. Den rättspraxis som tidigare funnits, har varit gammal, men på senare år har HD avgjort många fall som rör borgen och borgensåtaganden. Finns flera borgensmän, är de in dubio primärt och solidariskt ansvariga.

Anorexia nervosa är den allvarligaste formen av ätstörning och sjukdomen är idag ett globalt problem. Det är inte bara den enskilda individen som påverkas av sjukdomen utan ätstörningen innebär ett stort lidande och är enormt påfrestande för hela familjen. Det finns fortfarande bristande kunskaper i hur sjuksköterskan bäst kan hjälpa och stödja de anhöriga och därför är det inte ovanligt att familjen möts av bristande förståelse från hälso- och sjukvården.
