Prace Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu nr. nr 434. Quantitative Methods in Accounting and Finance

This book presents the results of Polish-Ukrainian scientific cooperation. It contains the papers prepared for the 10th international conference “Quantitative Methods in Accounting and Finance”. Accounting and finance face nowadays many challenges. They require both an international and local approach, they need to be considered from the theoretical and practical point of view, and they also encourage general and specific analysis. Support from quantitative methods is needed in order to discover, implement and verify new finance and accounting trends, methods and instruments. The research papers which are part of this book present different aspects of accounting and finance combined with a quantitative, in particular Econometric, approach. Some of the papers focus on methodology of measurement, estimation and forecasting of financial phenomena, especially those related to investment processes. Others address specific problems of accounting such as accounting solutions for different branches, legal issues of accounting, responsibility and reporting. An alternative approach was also undertaken and the roles of a narrative and culture in accounting were presented. The variety of papers selected for this issue ensures the complexity of the book. It provides theoretical as well as empirical material which can be used in further research and in business practice, particularly in accounting and finance. We hope that the content of the book provides a starting point for scientific discussion and practical changes. Marta Nowak
