The purpose of this study is to examine whether university accounting programs shape such ‘search for knowledge’ trait in significantly more effective comparing other university programs in the field of economy. For this purpose I conducted an experimental study using Hurtt Professional Skepticism Scale – HPSS which is one of the most recognized skepticism measures. I surveyed 432 students of Poznań University of Economics who follow either accounting program or management program (control group). The results showed that only programs in accounting increased the mean level of ‘search for knowledge’ trait significantly comparing to management program. The robustness analysis showed that gender, professional experience and length of service had no statistically significant impact on results.

The more and more popular opinion that provision of public services must not be ineffective while objectives and the related expenses should be rational and justified, results in continuous evolution of public administration – starting up with goal orientation, through introduction of various types of measures and indicators, to end up with systems of effectiveness measurement and optimisation. The private sector turned up to be the natural source of patterns and practical solutions, as being forever oriented towards profit maximisation and cost-effectiveness. The resulting trend of modern public management represents the effort aimed at implementation of business management methods in the public sector. The idea has been implemented at many levels which, however – with considerable simplification – has come to management according to the Deming cycle. In other words, each project should be carried out according to the sequence: plan → do → examine → apply. Consequently, management by objectives, strategic planning, benchmarking, managerial control, performance budget, audit and evaluation emerged in administration. It is the last concept which will be discussed in this publication because the managers of the public sector (frequently coming from business environment) increase the pressure on results of their own and their co-workers’ activities. As a consequence of this approach, it becomes necessary to measure results of civil servants’ work as well as of programmes and projects executed by them. This trend has become more intensive since the moment the Polish state started to absorb and administer resources from the European Union as the programme guidelines and books of procedures of individual managing institutions have enforced evaluation of effectiveness of the EU money utilisation. This stimulus has generated considerations on broader application of evaluation procedures, also in the areas which are not directly related to EU funds administration. The present publication will comprise observations of the authors, based on practical experience, concerning the pragmatic aspects of implementation of evaluation processes in various areas of activity of the territorial self-government units. The authors will approach both the objectives the evaluators are usually faced with and the areas in which the evaluation is or might be applied. Setting the required effects of evaluation against the capacity of the public sector, and considering the legal framework of the territorial self-government units, the authors will indicate the ways evaluation may be conducted as well as – which is even more essential – the complications resulting from the methods adopted. First of all, the procedural aspect of acquisition of the evaluation service will be analysed, with special consideration to procedures, conditions and criteria required by the public procurement law and the related bylaws. Methods of reaching the evaluation effects by the territorial self-government units, alternative to the tendering procedures, will be also considered. On the basis of the above considerations, the authors will develop two groups of conclusions. Statutory ones, connected with the methods of acquisition of this service which are best adjusted to the objectives set, and general ones, covering the proposals of broader application of evaluation in the public sector management process.

Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the key audit matters (KAMs) indicated during an audit of the financial statements of the largest companies in the Polish market. Methodology/approach: We analyzed the KAMs presented in the verification of the consolidated financial statements of the 30 largest companies listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange for 2014–2022. The total sample was 270 auditors’ reports. The basis of the methodology was empirical research; deductive and inductive reasoning were used to formulate the results. Findings: The number of KAMs reported in individual years did not fluctuate significantly, and the average number disclosed for one audit coincides with general global trends. The auditors reported the riskiest areas were for entities from the insurance sector, media and telecommunications, and the fuel industry. The most important KAMs include contingent liabilities, revenue, long-term assets, and goodwill. Research limitations/implications: The main constraint is the limited research sample relating only to the audit of the financial statements of WIG30 companies. However, it covers the largest entities for which auditors indicated the most KAMs and prepared their most extensive descriptions. Originality/value: The article concerns a relatively new research area for which there are few studies on the Polish market, which additionally have a narrow substantive scope. This paper comprehensively characterizes KAMs reported by auditors in the long term.

The latest international crisis of the financial markets highlights the risks of instability, and the consequences of financial crime have a considerable effect on the performance of enterprises. The manipulation of selling prices or elements of financial statements even contribute to economic and social conflict in certain countries. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the conformity to Benford’s law of forensic accounting data is sustainable in the case of wholesale trade enterprises in the examined (2009-2015) period and Hungarian region. Our research aims to test various elementary and advanced (goodness-of-fit) statistical techniques to assess the validity of the reported statements. Overall, after examining the deviations in reflected and expected frequencies we assert the non-conformity of this law in some cases. However, our motivation is not only to suggest applied recommendations to enhance accountability for entrepreneurships, but also to outline further research directions to improve the forensic fraud detection and better understanding of accountancy crimes for the management.

Ostatni międzynarodowy kryzys na rynkach finansowych podkreśla ryzyko niestabilności, a konsekwencje przestępstw finansowych mają znaczny wpływ na wyniki przedsiębiorstw. Manipulowanie cenami sprzedaży lub elementami sprawozdań finansowych przyczyniają się nawet do konfliktów gospodarczych i społecznych w niektórych krajach. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, czy dostosowanie do prawa danych księgowych Benforda jest trwałe w przypadku przedsiębiorstw handlu hurtowego w badanym okresie (2009-2015) w regionie Węgier. Przeprowadzone badania mają na celu przetestowanie różnych elementarnych i zaawansowanych (odpowiednio dopasowanych) technik statystycznych w celu oceny wiarygodności zgłaszanych oświadczeń. Po zbadaniu odchyleń w odzwierciedlanych i oczekiwanych częstotliwościach, w niektórych przypadkach stwierdzono niezgodność z tym prawem. Jednak motywacją autorów jest nie tylko zasugerowanie stosowanych zaleceń w celu zwiększenia odpowiedzialności w zakresie przedsiębiorczości, ale także nakreślenie dalszych kierunków badań w celu poprawy wykrywania oszustw i lepszego zrozumienia przestępstw związanych z rachunkowością zarządczą.
