Analysis was done by comparing Lorenz curves, Gini coefficient and index of effective progressivity. Indicators were designed for different income situations caused by taxation, social insurance and social incomes. It was found, that setting of the tax-benefit system progressively affected the distribution of household incomes. Level of progression had constant values. The most important tools are in a long-term period social incomes (pensions and welfare benefits) and taxes, which can be reasonably regarded as a progressive factor especially in case of using a tax bonus.

The analysis is made between the years 2011 - 2015 and is based on a total of 107 annual reports of listed companies. The annual report must contain the auditor's report for the period. Rotation of auditors is recently frequent topic of international research because of the new European regulation of the audit market. Following these international research this article contains the analysis of the Czech capital market. Data shows that on the Czech capital market there are fairly frequent changes of audit firms and key audit partners due to the number of listed companies.

Abstract: The concept of individual rationality had been crucial in financial theory. The proponents of behavioral finance argue that investors act irrationally, resulting in financial market distortions, which are not spontaneously corrected. This paper focuses on behavioral biases representing and describing the violation of fundamental axioms of rationality in the investor behavior. Using a questionnaire survey, this article examines the investor’s six most common behavioral biases, their impact on the individual decision-making process and in the end formulates recommendations to eliminate their influence.

The analysis and comparison methods made it possible to formulate the findings and conclusions. Both databases have gone through the stages of development, stagnation and reduction since they were introduced into the Czech legislation. Simple accounting was initially a part of the national accounting system. Its abolition from 2004 onwards was one of the consequences of the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union. By being restored in 2016, simple accounting did not return to the position of an accounting system. It is intended for an accounting entity which is not VAT registered, whose total income does not exceed CZK 3 million, the value of its assets does not exceed CZK 3 million, and it must be one of the enumerated non-profit organizations. Tax records became a part of the Czech legislation in 2004, when they replaced simple accounting for natural persons. Tax records are intended only for natural person entrepreneurs, who are not accounting entities. For small non-profit organizations, an information database was created, not a fully-fledged accounting system, as the name might suggest. The newly arranged structure of accounting decreases its reliability since it is missing complex information. If simple accounting is to be retained, it is necessary to add duties, so that it is unequivocally differentiated from tax records.
