Through the present research, the correlation of investors’ behavior with the possible discount of the share granted in the case of initial offers was sought. The large number of companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange in 2021(23) compared to 2020(3) denotes the fact that the SARS-COV2 virus was a certain catalyst of interest for investors and companies to enter the Romanian capital market. From another point of view, we observe a strong orientation of companies towards MTF AeRO.

Over the past decade, social networks have begun to become an integral part of the contemporary lifestyle of entities, being used as a means of communication with stakeholders. The quantitative research carried out on the sample of 119 companies in the medical sector, listed on the European stock exchanges, closely follows the correlations between the use of social networks and the financial information disseminated to the public. Techniques of exploratory data analysis were used to identify the determinants of financial communication through social means, followed by the calculation of the index of the use of these means of communication and its correlation with the financial performance rates of the studied companies. We believe that the ubiquitous adoption of technologies plays an essential role in the communication between management and users, bringing an indirect contribution to the proper functioning of an entity.</p> </abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2022-00022023-02-07T00:00:00.000+00:00https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2022-0009<abstract> <title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> <p>A series of supplementary services to solve communication problems between deaf-mute people and society could decrease the additional risk caused by communication impairments and break the boundaries between deaf-mute people and doctors/society.

The main finding based on the regression methodology shows that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the corporate governance quality score and investor relations, i.e. the liquidity score. The regression coefficient obtained supports the hypothesis that 46% of the investment behaviour manifested in the market, expressed by the value traded, can be explained by the quality of corporate governance and investor interaction supported by issuers.</p> </abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2022-00062023-02-07T00:00:00.000+00:00https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2022-0007<abstract> <title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> <p>In a world where economic challenges and changes are permanent, economic entities, and especially the management of these entities, need correct and useful information to be able to make effective economic decisions regarding the present and future activity of the entities. Financial performance analysis is an indispensable and permanent managerial task, without which plans regarding future investments or strategies cannot be drawn up. The aim of the paper is to analyze the financial performance of the company SC UNOTIP SRL, based on the data from the financial statements for 5 consecutive years, with the help of the indicators that can best characterize the financial performance.

Through the conducted study, we tried to analyze the influence of external factors specific to the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the financial performance of some commercial companies in the field of manufacturing pharmaceutical products in Romania (Antibiotice) pharmaceutical preparations (Biofarm, Zentiva) ambulatory healthcare activity (Med Life). These commercial companies faced the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic period, the measures taken in this regard, as well as the fierce competition from some international manufacturers (Sanofi, Sandoz Romania, Hoffmann la Roche, Pfizer, etc.).

They are targeted towards the EU priorities and national necessities, offering the chance for member states and partner states to adapt to the new challenges. The COVID 19 pandemic tested states, societies and economies, and pinpointed towards needs which previously occupied a less important role in EU funding. Moreover, European states needed tailor made solutions for the post-crisis context, which will help them recover fast from the domino effect of the pandemic. All these were gathered in the Recovery and Resilience Facility, which, based on national plans, offer funds for a rapid recovery and investments in key sectors. The mechanism revealed an entire philosophy in approaching resilience and recovery, as, even if states followed the same rules in developing the plan, they oriented funds for different investments, reforms or activities.</p> <p>The present article overviews the manner in which states channeled their resilience and recovery plans, as they offer different philosophies in approaching recovery and resilience.</p> </abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-00052022-02-27T00:00:00.000+00:00https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-0001<abstract> <title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> <p>The purpose of this research is to analyze whether State-Owned Financial institutions are giving more attention, in their integrated report, to stakeholders, that among the most important find the civil society, than Privately-Owned Financial institutions.

In this respect, it is necessary to study some key financial indicators, but also to use various procedures to identify and detect fraud and possible manipulation in the financial reporting process. The objectives are aimed at identifying and highlighting possible red flags in companies whose shares are traded on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The sample considered sensitive to fraudulent financial reporting is composed of four distinct categories of companies, namely: companies recently admitted to trading on the AeRO market administered by the Bucharest Stock Exchange (21), companies that obtained a zero Vektor score in 2020 (9), companies that obtained a low score in the White Letter publication (5), and companies in insolvency (4).</p> </abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-00022022-02-27T00:00:00.000+00:00https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-0009<abstract> <title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> <p><italic>The COVID-19 pandemic has</italic> imposed the acceleration of the digital transformation processes of <italic>organizations, regardless of the sector of activity.

Preliminary assessments concluded that investors’ interest for the recent AeRO public offerings of equity and debt seemed to be even greater than in case of the regulated market, possibly explained by a higher return on investments. On the other hand, a preference for the AeRO market instead of the regulated market has been also noticed among the inssuers trying to avoid compliance costs related to financial reporting and corporate governance. These assumptions are relevant to sustain a research direction related to a quality assessment of compliance with relevant corporate governance principles that AeRO issuers must also embrace and implement. The research methodology includes governance compliance inspections, issuers’ website screenings and annual report reviews. The sample of issuers is formed by the 20 issuers included in the BETAeRO Index launched on 11th of October, 2021. We expect that our findings will provide a relevant basis of conclusions to support a broaden utility of the Vektor transparency index, which should be extended for AeRO issuers as well.</p> </abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-00072022-02-27T00:00:00.000+00:00https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2021-0006<abstract> <title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> <p>Key performance indicators (KPIs/KPRs) made in a company with a field of activity in automotive allow for the gathering of knowledge and explore the best way to achieve the organisation’s objectives.

The establishment of a public supervision authority for audit firms (PCAOB), the establishment of an audit committee for listed companies or the obligation to report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, among with severe financial sanctions for corporate fraud, are the most representative legislative measures imposed in the US by the Sarbanex-Oxley Act (2002) to achieve this goal. To a large extent, these measures have also been adopted in Community law, most likely under the impetus of similar events, such as the Parmalat case (2003). Here that, at a not appreciable time distance, such a sensitive issue of fraudulent reporting returns to the center of investors’ attention through the case of the German electronic payment processor - Wirecard (2020). The article aims to investigate possible early signals that could have indicated risk factors or circumstances that could have favored fraudulent financial reporting in the case of this issuer. In essence, the research methodology is limited to the application of the Beneish model on the annual financial reports from 2016-2018, in order to assess its validation in relation to the values of the score function (M).</p></abstract>ARTICLEtruehttps://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/amso-2020-00092020-02-01T00:00:00.000+00:00en-us-1
