This study presents a conceptual framework approach that can provide useful information about the political strategy via the rational decision-making process, as well as create an efficient tool for political marketing campaigns. Game theory combines the models of conflict and cooperation for people whose decision-making is considered rational. How can this be implemented in voting behavior, influencing a wide range of issues, relations and behaviors? We consider the political competition as a strategic game, where we have to identify the opposing players, the purpose of the game and its rules. Game theory helps us understand the decision-making process towards strategic issues during political competition. The modeling of the voting behavior can explain the way people form theirs in the challenging environment of the political competition. In the present study we will investigate the way game theory can be involved in American elections, trying at the same time to depict behaviors and political marketing strategies. Using the game theory and the political marketing approach, our study examines the different strategies that politicians used during the last American election of 2016, explaining how their strategy influences the result of the elections. We focus mostly on financial, social and environmental issues, but also on issues about security, immigration and international relations. We measure the intensity of the candidates’ focus on these issues and we present two game theory matrixes as examples base on this innovative concept. EL Classifications: G34, G14, M41.

The key components of fiscal policy for a fair and effective tax framework are the implementation of tax reform through a mixture of immediate measures to increase revenue. The Greek income tax system underwent important structural reforms. There was an urgent need to immediately increase the state budget revenues and in the framework of the rescue program of the Greek economy there was a series of legislative interventions. Measures were taken in 2012 to curb the downward trend in revenues, such as expansion of the tax base, reduction of tax exemptions, reduction of taxable income resulting from the restraint of public expenditure due to the adjustment of special payroll. Low levels of growth tend to be one of the main reasons for preventing the collection of personal income taxes. There is a negative correlation between the percentage of tax revenues from personal income taxes and economic growth. From 2020 major tax changes have been implemented with relief for employees, retirees, families with children, property owners. This study indicates that prerequisites for a successful tax reform include a holistic approach to the tax system, the evaluation and measurement of concrete reform proposals, as well as the possibility of achieving the objectives and choosing the appropriate timeframe for the adoption of the tax reform in connection with the economic crisis. Also, it provides the financial impact of measures for the taxation undertaken of personal income from 2009 to 2020.

The paper aims to review studies dealing with audit report lag or audit delay and the Audit Committee in accounting literature over the period of 2006-2022. Research on factors related among audit report lag and audit committee has become more widespread in recent years and there was a considerable upsurge in these papers. This study combines electronic and manual searches to identify relevant studies. The search was performed using keywords such as “audit committee” and “audit report lag” or "audit delay" or "audit lag" and in total, 35 published studies were identified. The findings show that the majority of research studies the relevance of audit report lag / audit delay to the effectiveness of the Audit Committee which represented by its key characteristics (size, independence, member financial expertise, frequency of meetings, presence of women). The future shows that researchers are turning to additional characteristics of Audit Committee members to check whether they relate to audit report lag. Finally, we stand for the future of research with suggestions for new researches. Keywords: Audit Delay, Literature Review, Corporate Governance JEL: M42, G34

This research aims to analyze the political marketing strategy used in Greek regional elections of 2019 by candidate mayors, in the case of the region of Attica. Using advance methods of multivariate analysis such as Cluster analysis, Multiple Correspondence analysis and Principal component analysis we search for the strategy patterns used in terms of selecting promotion tools, prioritizing issues on the political agenda, and focusing on the candidate or the party. The analysis investigates the profiles of the candidates with reference to the above political marketing strategies and the connection to their political characteristics. Furthermore, the detected profiles and strategies are analyzed regarding their effect on the probability to be elected. (250 words max) EL Classifications: C38, D72, M31.

Corporations use two different sets of financial statements which have mirror-image goals, firms want to maximize book income reported to investors, while minimizing the taxable income reported to the tax authorities. The dual nature of corporate profit reporting may be creating a lose-lose situation, less meaningful profit numbers for capital markets and lowered corporate tax revenue for the government. Defenders of the book-tax divide argue that a unified system cannot accommodate these differing objectives, while supporters of the book-tax conformity claim that a tax-based book income can restore the integrity of the financial accounting system. The study reviews the arguments of high vs. low book-tax conformity. It also reviews prior research that examines the association between book-tax conformity and earnings management.

The global financial system after and during the financial crisis had to face the major issue which has extremely influence their profitability: The Non-Performing Loans portfolio (NPLs). The present study aims to reveal the interrelation and the possible impact of the NPLs to the profitability indicators of the Greek banks and specifically how they affect the profitability of the banks. The empirical investigation of included a comparative study of Financial ratios of certain Greek banks were calculated in order to reveal the impact of Non-Performing loans to their profitability for the year 2017. Interest income on loans is positive for all Banks but with a wide variation, while Interest-Expenses show an asymmetric distribution. Overdue loans for more than 90 days show uniformity with the exception of Piraeus Bank which shows an extreme price. The correlation between ROA and ROE with loans is not statistically significant. The effect on the Equity of loans in all forms except regulated is considered statistically significant. The negative effect of NPLs for more than 90 days on Net Profit before Tax is considered statistically significant.

In this study we look at the potential of these novel financial instruments namely the Innovative Financing for Development Mechanisms (IFDMs). Bearing in mind the adverse financial conditions in many emerging and advanced economies, the high risk associated to innovative activities and intangible assets, the growing levels of private and public debt and the need to address sustainability on top of economic growth, these instruments are of pivotal importance. We consider the Greek economy as a case study and elaborating on the structure and functioning of crowdfunding and green bonds, we identify the potential given the current financial adversities, but also highlight the need for a comprehensive global governance and legislation built around those tools, concluding that these innovative forms of finance although currently at a premature level compared to regional averages, could play a considerable part in the rejuvenation of the domestic financial system in this time of need EL Classifications: G20, G21, G23, O10, O16.
