THE INCLUSION OF SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS IN THE BULGARIAN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ACCOUNTING

Author(s): Iliyana Ankova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to investigate the sustainability courses, offered in accounting higher education in Bulgaria. For this purpose, a survey of the content of university websites offering undergraduate and/or graduate programs in accounting is conducted. The survey encompasses also information from the Bulgarian University Ranking System. The study reveals that sustainability education is hardly offered by universities, training future accountants. Only a limited number of universities offer sustainability courses as stand-alone courses. The research is limited by the information available on the websites of the universities. In some cases, there is no information on the courses provided in a given bachelor and/or master programme. The study could not ascertain whether individual topics related to sustainability are included as single topics in some accounting and non-accounting courses due to unpublished information on the content of the courses or at least the more substantive topics covered. This study may constitute a valuable starting point for future research on the inclusion of sustainability in higher education.

Характерни особености на данъчния одит

Author(s): Monika Krivoshapkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

In both a global and local context, negative processes influenced by the impending economic crisis have been observed over the past two years. Governments, in their efforts to curb these processes, are approving increasingly larger budgets to provide essential social benefits to society in the fight against the crisis. The measures outlined in these budgets, in most cases, cannot be covered by the available funds in the state treasury. To achieve their goals, the state needs resources, and these resources are generated in the form of tax revenues in the budget. Taxes are a significant source of revenue for any government and are inevitably at the core of the state's wellbeing. They are an instrument used by the government to fund public expenditures and implement fiscal policy. For taxpayers, on the other hand, this process is viewed as a burden they must bear to support the government. In Bulgaria, tax collection is often based on the principle of 'selfassessment' by the taxpayers. To regulate this process, the tax administration periodically conducts 'tax audits'. However, tax audits can be conducted not only by the tax administration. This report aims to outline the characteristic features of tax audits and determine their impact on tax collection in the budget.

Зеленият (ESG) маркетинг, необходимост от трансформации на търговските банки

Author(s): Vania Krusteva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Climate change has posed new challenges for central banks, regulators and supervisors. As a result, environmental, social and governance standards are becoming increasingly key to the reputation of banks. In the growing environment of challenges facing commercial banks – digitalisation, new competitors, variable interest rates, regulation and more – it is unacceptable to downplay environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues when it comes to the need for largescale transformation. Until recently, ESG departments existed as divisions that were not deeply connected to the bank's overall strategy, customer and product offerings, or incentive schemes. The reasons for embedding ESG standards and practices in all functions stem from a broader transformation project and to involve everyone from the senior executives (C-suite) to the local bank branch. ESG is a central driver for the radical, end-to-end transformation required of European banks and an important key challenge they need to address alongside credit, costs, consolidation and technology. ESG is positioned as the new litmus of good banking practice based on three converging trends. The first is climate change and the need to finance the decarbonisation of economic activities, which promises to open up new areas of activity for banks. The second is reputational, where banks and businesses that fail to meet their ESG commitments risk being accused of greenwashing. The third is regulation that will require banks to measure and disclose ESG risks in their loan portfolios and other banking activities, as well as the impact of their activities across a wider range of environmental, social and governance considerations. As a consequence of these reasons, ESG standards are expected to be crucial for the reputation of banks. In the coming years, banks that have a lead in this process will be more competitive and will gain reputational advantages over their competitors. Green (ESG) marketing and digital transformation are two important trends in the commercial banking sector that reflect the growing emphasis on sustainability, environmental responsibility and the adoption of digital technologies. Let's explore how these two aspects intersect: This article presents the reasons, nature, benefits and possible downsides of the impact of green marketing on financial institutions, as well as the importance of the digital transition and ESG standards for the well-being of the economy's foundational sector.

Income Taxation in Bulgaria: 10 Years after Flat Tax: To Keep or to Move to Progressive Taxation

Author(s): Presiana Ilieva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

One of the main objectives of fiscal policy is conducting optimal income taxation, because it has a central role in achievement of social justice and welfare. Income taxation influences the levels of employment and investment or affect the choices of individuals concerning their productivity at work. In the paper are presented the main theoretical models for income taxation. Crucial for income taxation policies is also tax calculation. Following the Criterion of Haig and Simons in tax estimation should be included all sources of income or so-called income from economic use of production factors, minus costs incurred for their acquisition. The tax liability is calculated as multiplication of tax income and tax rate. For determining tax rate some important moments must be considered, depending also on the taxation model conducted, amounts and tax group boundaries, the non-taxable minimum, the margin, upper tax rate, the public attitudes, the total tax amount to collect as budget revenues. From 2008, according to Personal Income Tax Law taxation system in Bulgaria has been introduced proportional taxation with 10% tax rate. The main objective of flat income taxation in Bulgaria is to help reduce the share of the informal (shadow) economy, leading to increase in tax revenues. At the paper are analyzed four main aspects of taxation influence to the whole economy: inequalities; revenues from direct taxes; the shadow economy and the investment activity. Implementing proportional taxation in Bulgaria had many objectives to achieve. Experts analyses in details the results from taxation in economic life. They suggest new models, which could work more efficiently in Bulgaria. The responsible politicians however are more influenced by lobbies and do not consider future taxation reforms.

Двуфакторна зависимост между доверието на потребителите и бизнес климата с реалния растеж НАБВП в България

Author(s): Lachezar Borisov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The report demonstrates a two-factor relationship between the consumer confidence indicator and the total business climate indicator on the one hand, and real GDP growth by quarter on the other hand, over the past three years. The analysis aims to build on conclusions already drawn by the author on the possibility of using key indicators from business surveys as early warning indicators for economic crises and therefore for rapid decision-making. The economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic has acutely raised the need for indicators that provide timely signals of impending fluctuations in economic growth dynamics. Managers' direct assessments of the business climate indicator, and the population's assessments of the consumer confidence indicator, have largely the same dynamics as seasonally-adjusted real GDP growth data on a quarter-on-quarter basis over the previous period. The existence of a direct bivariate relationship between the two indicators from the business surveys and the economic growth also determines the fact that they can serve as a signal of the direction of economic development in the short term. This, in turn, also allows for rapid decision-making on specific economic policies.
