The thesis "Limitations of professional liability in relation to the professions of auditor, tax adviser and accountant with regard to the duty of confidentiality" focuses on a more detailed elaboration of the selected specific segment of professional liability of the given professions, on the legal and ethical obligations in the field of confidentiality and the possibility of its breaking. The introductory part of the thesis deals with confidentiality in terms of historical development and its importance in the present. Further, it outlines the area of moral and ethical responsibility, legal liability in general, and confidentiality as a specific duty. The concept of confidentiality of the professions of auditors, tax advisers and accountants represents the core of the presented work. The duty of confidentiality of the profession of auditors is significantly influenced by the public interest in the presented information in the form of opinion on the financial statements of the audited entities, and thus the possibilities of the legally supported breaking of this obligation are the most extensive, as evidenced by the amendment to the Act on Auditors, effective from 1 October 2016. The duty of confidentiality of the tax adviser has until recently been strictly defined on a legal basis. The change was brought by the Supreme Court's case law in November 2015, which by comparing the principally equivalent conditions for the exercise of legal liability in the area of confidentiality of the tax adviser and attorney, also deduces the similarities of competencies of both professions in cases of breaking the confidentiality. The accounting profession is not regulated by law, and therefore the confidentiality obligation is also not legally enforceable. However, professional certified accountants are required to comply with the Code of Conduct issued by the Professional Chamber. The final part of the thesis focuses on comparing the duty of confidentiality of the selected professions of auditors, tax advisers and professional accountants with the attorney-at-law profession.

One of the main strategic goals of an owner is the growth of their company. To seek company growth in todays ever changing world, company owners and their management frequently turn to the discipline of mergers and acquisitions (hereinafter M&A). This M&A focus is evidenced by the sustained long term growth of the M&A markets, which for example in the Czech Republic alone amounted to a 38% increase between the years 2015 and 2016. The transaction decision making process takes place with an information deficit to the detriment of the buyer. 50% to 70% of transactions will be identified as not meeting the expectations of the buyer, and this is in large part due to the information deficit on the part of the buyer. This thesis takes as its subject due diligence, a tool that enables the buyer to mitigate (but never to fully overcome) the risks brought about by the information deficit. The due diligence process enables the buyer to gather information on the target company and to get to know it in greater detail prior to assuming the full risks of ownership. Due diligence becomes a key component of the M&A process, with direct impact on the transaction valuation and evaluation of the future performance of the target company. This thesis will provide all parties interested in the M&A process with an overview of both general and specific characteristics of the due diligence process and its key components. It will also widen the traditional understanding of the due diligence process, shifting it from a mere pre-investment check-up to a more complex and robust process, that includes the setup of post transaction integration guidelines. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an analysis of the due diligence process in its wider connotations, with emphasis on financial due diligence and post transaction integration. As part of this analysis the key milestones of the due diligence process were identified, and their influence on the increase of the likelihood of a successful M&A process is examined. Based on the stated purpose of this thesis a null hypothesis was formulated (and the analysis and evaluation of the said hypothesis is the goal of this thesis): Due diligence, in its traditional understanding, is a fundamental support tool for the successful realization of mergers and acquisitions. The methodology applied to the examination of the null hypothesis comprises the detailed analysis of information from specialized and academic publications, their theoretical evaluation and comparison to case studies. In line with the stated goal and its hypothesis, this thesis is structured into six chapters. The first chapter defines the term theory of a company and examines the basic economic reasons for the creation and existence of companies. The second chapter describes transactions dedicated to companies and focuses on the underlying reasons for undertaking transactions, and their effect on the methodology of due diligence. The third chapter defines due diligence, describes the process and its key components, and provides theoretical recommendations. The fourth chapter focuses on the practical undertaking of a due diligence process, and examines the applicability of the theoretical recommendations in real life. The fifth chapter examines the post-transaction components of due diligence. The sixth chapter focuses on examination of factors critical to the undertaking of a due diligence, and also on the contractual tools available for the mitigation of the inherent risks. The sources of information for this thesis are mainly, but not limited to, foreign specialized and academic literature focused on mergers and acquisitions, international and local published research, and own research undertaken for the purpose of this thesis. The detailed analytical work undertaken and described in this thesis enabled the evaluation of the null hypothesis and the completion of the stated thesis goal.

Dissertation focuse on the internal control system in the enterprises, aims to map the control system by focusing on the purchasing department. I focused on the purchasing process, because with an increasing trends of outsourcing services and the increasing interconnectedness of enterprises increases the risk of fraud currently in the purchasing process. To the research was selected the sample of companies from the banking and non-banking environment, to which were sent a questionnaire focusing on the functionality of the Internal control system in the organization. Banking institutions were chosen mainly because of the strict supervision of the Czech National Bank and the obligations of regular reportin activities are outsourced to supervisory authority, ie the Czech National Bank. Internal control system concept is difficult to define clearly. The main reason is that, in the literature often do not coincide defining the definition of internal control system, and no clear definition of tools, processes and procedures. In Czech Republic is the definition of Internal control system also mentioned in the legislation, and it needs to be understood in very general terms. Schiffer (2009) describes in general terms the Internal control system as a set of operational, financial, personnel, accounting and other controls that are created by management to correct efficient management, compliance with internal rules, asset protection and the most accurate and precise accounting practices in society. Dvoracek (2003) writes that the Internal control system is to be viewed as the sum of interrelated tools, policies, procedures and control mechanisms. In the Czech Republic, for example, contains a definition of the Internal control system Act no. 320/2001 Coll., On financial control in public administration and amending certain laws (Financial Control Act), as amended. Internal control system to be defined as a properly configured system, it must be a grouping of related components and parts, which are gathered into a meaningful whole. Among the elements and parts must be some connection, which is precisely defined.

Special attention is given to accounting evidence. The last part of the thesis has application nature. The use of XML in financial reporting is demonstrated there in the real existing and secured systems based on ICT. According to the analysis made I came to the conclusion that because of the requirement for the reliability of accounting the internal control system has growing importance. Regardless the technologies used there is need to preserve the evidence at the level of accounting record during all of its life cycle phases -- when it is made out or received, when it is transferred, conversed to some other form and archived. I dealt also with another important phase of the life cycle of accounting records -- with the evidential financial reporting. There I came to conclusion that key phases are following: Firstly, there is need to provide evidential linkage between bookkeeping and the statements assembled. Further it is crucial to assure secured transfer of the statements to the final storage place or publishing location of the statements. Finally it is desirable to consider trustworthy storage place for the statements and also its evidential method of publishing them on the web.

More likely it can be seen as a sum of the knowledge which can be technically and legally used by the accounting entities. Its wider use can be expected in the following years.
