During the first few months of World War One the Bulgarian military and political leadership began watching closely the mobilization possibilities and Russia’s participation in the war. This was done by a military attaché, and by the means of military and civil secret services. Being well informed of Russia’s approach, the Bulgarian services predicted that in the next 48 months the country would either win the war, or a serious conflict would follow.

Accounting is an information system, which only creates information regarding the financial position, the efficiency of operations, the changes in the financial position and the cash flows of enterprises. All this suggests certain requirements for its operation and the information it creates. They are codified in the existing accounting legislation – the Accountancy Act and the applicable accounting standards. Some changes have occurred due to the influence of various factors in the accounting regulations. In recent years, the reasons for this have been related to some changes in the basic EU acts that regulate the relations in the field of accounting. A new Accountancy Act and National Accounting Standards (NAS) amended and supplemented have been in force since the beginning of 2016. The standards set out in these regulations have led to changes in the implementation of accounting as a practical activity. This paper highlights both the new aspects of accounting legislation and those that give rise to certain inconsistencies in interpreting them and potential problems in applying them. This is done sequentially – first regarding the Accountancy Act, and then regarding the amendments and supplements to the National Accounting Standards. Some of the arguments can be taken into account when these regulations are further updated.

In this sense, a significant milestone in the implementation of cultural policy, in terms of the distinctiveness of municipalities, is the assessment of the population, for which it is developed. The aim of this publication is to present the support of the local population for cultural policy by the assessment of included in it: cultural activities, priorities, segmentation of users (residents and visitors) and coherence with other public policies. The article presents the results of the population survey on cultural policy implemented in six municipalities in Bulgaria - Kavarna, Balchik, Biala, Shabla, Avren and Dolni Chiflik. With the help of questionnaires were obtained estimates for cultural activities, infrastructure priorities and bottlenecks, as well as consistency with other public policies. Top rated are Kavarna and Balchik on the variety, intensity of the cultural calendar and cultural infrastructure, as well as the consistency of their public policies. Overall, the highest degree of consistency was observed between cultural policy and tourism. The results show that in the segmentation of users we cannot give priority to one category only - locals or visitors. They are equally represented as beneficients of cultural policy.
