The accounting analysis performed in banking institutions is of key importance. It is based on information collected exclusively from current and periodic accounting reports. Based on real accounting data, it is found that there are decreased rates of positive growth in credit portfolios. Granted loans are well-secured while at the same time there is also an increase in the percentage of non-performing loans. When assessing the risk of collateral it is possible to propose the use of "above-the-moderate risk." It is considered necessary for banks to maintain information about the liquidation value of mortgages or pledged assets, rather than the market price.

The article reviews some of the disadvantages related to the current model of financial reporting of fixed tangible assets in public sector entities. A prerequisite for the occurrence of the researched problems is the lack of standardization in the accounting system of those entities. The author suggests a standardized model and supports the thesis that the problem could only be solved through the adoption of accounting standards replacing the existing practice of regulating the accounting process in public sector entities with instructions and letters. The suggested standardized accounting model for primary recognition, current and regular valuation of fixed tangible assets projects the means and ways for improving the accounting system of public sector entities by adapting it to the conceptual framework of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards.

The first global financial and economic crisis of the present century has once again reminded the economists of the vulnerability of the banking system as far as outside shocks are concerned. Problems in the banking sector can be measured in expenses worth billions of Euros in order to support and stabilize most affected countries. In this respect the present article aims at analyzing the options for predicting banking difficulties and problems by means of models focusing on those based on the signal approach. On the basis of a conducted research an attempt has been made to create a mechanism for improvement of the signal-based models for forecasting crisis situations in the banking sector.
