Financial controlling facilitates the managers of companies in making the right managerial decisions. The process of controlling includes planning, control and analysis. Planning is associated with setting goals and developing planned budgets, control – with detecting deviations from the goals, whereas analysis is associated with disclosing the reasons for these deviations. The information system occupies a central place in financial controlling. It includes a system of indicators; the leading indicator being considered as an objective. The role of information systems in controlling is to link planning activities, control and analysis. This article presents the application of the information system of financial controlling in a particular company – an insurance company operating in the sector of General Insurance.

The study aims to identify the institutional flaws of the current EU waste management model by analysing the economic model of ‘extended producer responsibility’ and collective waste management systems and to create a model for measuring the transaction costs borne by waste recovery organizations. The model was approbated by analysing the Bulgarian collective waste management systems that have been complying with the EU legislation for the last 10 years. The analysis focuses on waste oils because of their economic importance and the limited number of studies and analyses in this field as the predominant body of research to date has mainly addressed packaging waste, mixed household waste or discarded electrical and electronic equipment. The study aims to support the process of establishing a ‘circular economy’ in the EU, which was initiated in 2015.

This paper presents a survey of income inequality in Bulgaria in the period from 2001 to 2015 by studying the dynamics of the Gini coefficient, the integral coefficient of une¬ven distribution and decile ratios. We prove that despite the increase registered in the values of these indices in some years, the trend towards decreasing inequality is still weak. We also establish that there was significant income polarisation measured through the S90/10 and the S80/20 decile ratios. We prove that it is necessary to study the relation between the growth rate of the median income received by households in the first six deciles and the income received by households in the last four deciles by employing the growth rates ratio.
