The choice of the field of this study was suggested by the fact that the application of information technologies in accounting is an interesting topic for theoretical research and it is up-to-date and useful in practice. The objective of the study is to explore the opportunities for developing an integrated accounting information system (IAIS) in the practice of enterprises. To achieve the objective the following tasks have to be performed: to explore the characteristics and elements of IAIS; to justify the need for its creation; to analyze the possibilities and limitations of its implementation; to identify the prerequisites for its active use. The thesis statement is that the development, deployment and use of IAIS have the potential to be a major management information system in the practice of enterprises that will allow faster generating and using the necessary information. The results of the study we conducted suggest several major conclusions how to improve accounting information systems in enterprises: 1) The accounting information system is the most important one in enterprises; 2) Integrated accounting information systems guarantee synthetic and analytical reporting on the performance of enterprises and preparing Annual Financial Statements in compliance with the statutory requirements in every country; 3) Integrated accounting information systems must be adopted as an instrument for current and subsequent analysis and budgeting of the performance of enterprises; 4) Integrated accounting information systems provide the basis for making various managerial decisions.

  IMPROVING THE ‘PERLA’ RATING SYSTEM FOR DISTANCE MONITORING OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN BULGARIA

  The global banking crisis of 2007 raised a number of issues and challenges in the banking sector. One aspect of the debates provoked was connected with the issue of the rating assessments and the methods for objectively measuring the condition of the banks and the sector as a whole.

One aspect of the debates provoked was connected with the issue of the rating assessments and the methods for objectively measuring the condition of the banks and the sector as a whole. This problem is also reflected in the thesis statement that an independent and open rating system for assessing the banking sector helps to increase the discipline, competitiveness and stability of the banking sector. This study aims to assess the feasibility of the PERLA system for assessing the banking sector, developed in 2004 by a team at the department of Finance and Credit, and to find ways for improving it and enhancing the degree of its recognition. This is achieved through analyzing the theoretical foundations of the banking analysis and through building rating systems, and evaluation of its applicability under the Bulgarian conditions by improving the PERLA rating system. In the conclusion the author offers an advanced methodology for assessing the state of the Bulgarian banks (ALER(ts)).

  AGRICULTURAL SIMULATION MODELS IN TEACHING STUDENTS OF ECONOMICS

  The issue of the use of agricultural simulation models in teaching economics students is topical in terms of the need to reflect the current trends in the development of education and training. The different models of the economic policy implemented are discussed in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. This paper ... The issue of the use of agricultural simulation models in teaching economics students is topical in terms of the need to reflect the current trends in the development of education and training. The different models of the economic policy implemented are discussed in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. This paper aims to study and reveal the potential opportunities for economic simulations that can be implemented in teaching economics students. In order to achieve this aim the following tasks have to be performed: studying the theory to clarify the specifics and the concepts used in the simulation economic models; assessing the state of agriculture and the possibilities for implementing potential economic policy simulation models; studying the potential for using the simulation models in teaching economics students; identifying the problems (factors) that affect the sphere of simulations; an European policy regarding the economic models for implementing the Common Agricultural Policy in agriculture; making conclusions and suggestions for agricultural simulation models in teaching students of economics.
