  MECHANISMS FOR REGULATION AND AUDIT OF EU FUNDS ABSORPTION

  Funding received from EU programmes is vital for the national economy as it helps solve crucial socio-economic problems. In some cases, the absorption of these funds is accompanied by attempts to commit fraud or violate existing regulations.

Funding received from EU programmes is vital for the national economy as it helps solve crucial socio-economic problems. In some cases, the absorption of these funds is accompanied by attempts to commit fraud or violate existing regulations. In order to prevent these from happening, the process has to be subject to audit and regulation. Research on various mechanisms for regulation and audit of the absorption of EU funds demands that the overall organization of their management should be examined. The focus is on legal, accounting and audit problems on which sound financial management of funds is based.

  VOLATILITY OF CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS IN THE SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS (2000-2011)

  This study aims to prove that not only macro indicators, but also the correlations between them should be used as main macroeconomic indicators since being relative quantities they have richer content and create more favourable opportunities for using them in the macroeconomic analysis, modeling and forecasting of socio-economic phenomena and ... This study aims to prove that not only macro indicators, but also the correlations between them should be used as main macroeconomic indicators since being relative quantities they have richer content and create more favourable opportunities for using them in the macroeconomic analysis, modeling and forecasting of socio-economic phenomena and processes. The main purpose of this study is to examine the correlations between macroeconomic indicators which are associated with drops, recovery, upsurge and peaks of economic development. In this context, the object of the study is focused on the volatility of these correlations in the period 2000-2011, and its impact on the country’s economic development. The results prove our thesis and indicate more intense volatility, which is caused by the world economical crisis.

  COMPARATIVE ANALISYS OF THE BULGARIAN AND ROMANIAN EXTERNAL SECTORS

  Being an area of free movement of “people, goods and capital”, EU gives both Bulgaria and Romania opportunities to improve their access to markets, as well as to attract more foreign direct and portfolio investments.

Being an area of free movement of “people, goods and capital”, EU gives both Bulgaria and Romania opportunities to improve their access to markets, as well as to attract more foreign direct and portfolio investments. The global economic crisis, that began two years after the two countries’ full EU accession, is likely to discontinue these advantages and to pose serious hardships to the ability of their economies to function in a crisis and reduced cash flows. The project “Comparative analisys of the Bulgarian and Romanian external sectors” is focused on studying the trends in the balance of payment of the two countries and its components in the light of Euro membership and under the conditions of an economic crisis. Its scope includes the key specifics of trade and capital flows as well as the correlations between them. The views on balancing the external sector are generalized and tools are identified to assess the trends in the balance of payment.
