An attempt has been made to justify the thesis that the organisational development and improvement of the applied differentiated approach has a significant capacity to turn the pension insurance into a socio-economic corrective of the market evaluation of teachers’ labour by providing pensions in the amount appropriate to the contribution and significance of the teaching profession for the formation of human capital and socio-economic development and prosperity in Bulgarian society. The study of the opportunities for organisational development and improvement of the teachers’ public pension insurance is the main objective of the survey. The following specific tasks are set: study of principles and guidelines for differentiation of insurance activity; justification of the need for continuing development and improvement of the applied differentiated approach in the organisation of the pension insurance of teachers in Bulgaria; study of the specifics and evaluation of public pension insurance protection of teachers in Bulgaria; formulating proposals for development and improvement of public insurance of teachers in Bulgaria. The results of the survey show the need to develop and improve the pension insurance of teachers. Proposals to transform payments from the Teachers’ Pension Fund into a function of pension insurance contributions have been formulated. Organisational changes that bind the amount of pension for insured length of service and old age of teachers with their contribution to community development have been proposed.

Goods origin should be regarded as a complex economic category, which, from a customs perspective, predetermines the existence of specific control guidelines. The variety of free trade agreements between the EU and third countries introduces a number of requirements, the compliance of which must be verified by the customs authorities. This necessitates the availability of clear technological provisions regarding the issue of proofs of origin by the Union and the verification of such proofs provided by beneficiary countries.
The study aims to assess the feasibility of the free trade agreements between the EU and third countries in our country and thus define and justify the specific characteristics of the customs procedures with regard to the origin of imported goods. This aim has been achieved through:
First. Assessment of the free trade agreements between the EU and third countries in terms of their importance;
Second. Assessment of the relevance of the European free trade agreements for the Republic of Bulgaria;
Third. Discussing the specific characteristics of the main customs procedures for control of the origin of the goods.
The main research thesis is that the provisions of free trade agreements and the related origin of imported goods are the main subject of customs control and, as being such, they have a significant impact on the foreign trade relations of our country.
As a result of the study, the importance of EU free trade agreements with third countries has been justified by the position of the customs control carried out in the Republic of Bulgaria. The foreign trade relations of our country have been analyzed and conclusions have been drawn as to the extent to which the Bulgarian business benefits from the possible customs preferences based on the origin of the goods.

The undeniable interest of economic theory and practice towards financial derivatives makes them a current subject of analysis. The existence of derivatives raises the logical question about their purpose. If an investor participates in the distribution of a company’s profits by holding its shares, why do they apply another instrument that is related to owner’s equity? The derivative markets create favorable opportunities by improving the efficiency of the underlying assets markets. Derivatives have lower transaction costs compared to other transactions with basic instruments on the spot market, they are more liquid and the risk can be transferred into a more effective, simple and inexpensive way. Proof for the significance of derivative instruments is also the EU-accepted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Therefore, it is important that the management of every organization is aware of the regulatory framework for financial instruments, as well as the effects of each transaction with financial instrument.
The main purpose of the study is to define a classification of derivative instruments and to mark key points in their accounting. The specific objectives that have to be solved are to highlight the alternatives for classifying derivatives and to focus on their immediate current accounting. The thesis is that the adequate classification and evaluation of these instruments are important factors for their correct accounting. The main conclusion is that proper classification of derivatives has a practical significance because there has to be determined whether the instrument has a value at the beginning, which has a timely accounting impact. Their internal and time values have a significant role as well, because in the changes they must be clearly distinguished from the change in the fair value of the derivative itself.
