Abstract: Over time, the evolution of the expectations of the stakeholders has constantly changed the perspective on the role of internal audit. Given the speed of technological change and globalization of markets, the internal audit function needs to evolve to help the organization understand and manage the associated risks, achieve the expected results from automation, and continue to innovate to achieve added value. The central place that the internal audit occupies within the organization is the result of a professional, objective work, raised at the level of the requirements and standards, as well as at the level of the constantly moving economic environment. In this paper we want to emphasize that a good mastery of computer techniques and innovations, as well as a permanent updating of the changes brought by the regulations in the field, can only bring a higher quality of the services offered by the internal audit, by well fundamental opinions and solid proposals. Thus, the pursuit of this profession would not be possible without the existence of the benchmarks represented by norms, directives, policies and standards, all together making up the complete set of tools with which a true auditor will begin the journey on the missions successfully and operationally accomplished. The main objective of this article is to make a short incursion of the concept and importance of internal auditing and reviewing the requirements of the new EN ISO 19011: 2018 standard.

Abstract: The risk represents a challenge for any economic entity, because it cannot be totally canceled, and it is assumed differently depending on the different attitude towards the danger.

Thus, for a risk to be considered financial in nature, it must include the following elements: the economic entity exposed to a potential loss, the factors that cause a financial loss and a source of risk. In the methodological approach of the present paper the radiography, the determination and the analysis of the financial risk were considered, the analysis of the way of determining this risk being realized through the global profitability threshold and subsequently based on the financial leverage effect, for two economic entities Alfa and Beta , which operates in the same geographical area, having the same object of activity.

10. GROWTH OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY BASED ON IMPORTS OF GOODS AND SERVICES IN ROMANIA

Author(s): Anamaria - Geanina Macovei
DOI: 10.4316/EJAFB.2019.739
Abstract: In this paper, is analyzed the influence of the import of goods and services on the gross domestic product for the period 1995-2018. The analyzed period of 24 years contains a critical period for the Romanian economy, in which the global economic crisis and the financial recession were felt. For analysis, the quadratic model is proposed, where a maximum point is obtained for the value of the import of goods and services and of the gross domestic product. So according to the model, if Romania's government policy is to increase the IMP then the GDP will decrease. Under these conditions, policies to promote imports as a strategy for developing a sustainable economy should be finished and the national economy, as well as exports, should be promoted and supported.
Keywords: Import, Gross Domestic Product, Cubic Quadratic.
