Taloushallinnon ja budjetoinnin kehittäminen : case: Kohdeorganisaatio museo
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Tutkin työssäni Suomen arkkitehtuurimuseon taloushallinnon ja budjetoinnin kehittämisen vaikutusta museon toimintaan. Lähtökohtana taloushallinnon muutostarpeille ja erityisesti budjetoinnin kehittämiselle olivat niiden kytkeminen osaksi...
Developing of financial management and budgeting : case: The Museum of Finnish architecture The subject of this work is to observe the effect of developing Museum of Finnish Architecture’s financial management and budgeting system. Starting point for the need to change the financial management and especially to develop the budgeting system was the decision to both of them a part of the strategic planning of the organization. Also the cuts in state subsidies during the years 2012 – 2015 have compelled the museum to prioritize its tasks. In this work the budgeting has helped us to identify saving targets without compromising the standards of our activities. In my work I explored how well the programmers built for the needs of the organization serve the museum and how well does a carefully crafted budget influence and guide the finances of the museum. My dissertation also deals with planning the museum’s strategy. As a result of strategic work the structure of the museum was renewed and was taken into use at the beginning of the year 2012. Central theme in my dissertation has been to develop budgeting and through that to promote the predictability of the activities and to guide the financial development of the activities into more positive direction. Museum of Finnish Architecture is an organization of public utility which is mainly funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Funding needs to be applied for annually and the application is based on the museum’s annual budget. This dissertation is a qualitative study which focuses on the idea how to develop the financial management and especially the budgeting of the museum. The objective of this dissertation is to achieve desired changes through finding solution to practical problems. I compared the methods and processes of financial management before and after my development project. My involvement in the development process has been in the role of the Controller. As a Controller my intention has been to improve the reporting tools used by the budget holders and to develop a functioning model for the budgeting. The theoretic part of this dissertation is based on the professional literatures which are widely available. The new systems for the financial management of the museum have been in use since 2008. At the end of year 2010 an investment in recycling system for purchase orders was also made. In accordance with my development objectives the archiving system, which is an additional feature of the recycling system, has been utilized for storing all the scanned positive grant application decisions received by the museum. As a part of my development work I have created guidelines for drafting a budget aimed for the budget holders and have delivered financial training for the museum staff. As a result of my development work the budgeting for the museum has been developed enough to make funding sufficient to secure the functioning of the museum. The main focus of the museum is now to review and prioritize its most important functions and operating costs. The museum now has in use appropriate software to manage its finances. It has been possible to adapt the software to create various reporting formats. The developing of the internal calculation has improved the follow-up and evaluation of the economy of the museum. Next step in the right direction would be to encourage the budget holders to fully understand the importance and the need to control the budget. As a result of this even sparse funds can be scratched further....

Customer satisfaction survey and non-customer survey for Mäntsälä library The aim of this thesis was to discover how satisfied customers are with Mäntsälä library and its service quality and also discover why some of the citizens don’t use the services of library at all. The aim of the survey was also to help target specific service elements requiring improvement and to find out which of the library’s services are most important to customers. The theoretical framework was based on customer satisfaction, research methods and new customer acquisition literature and material found on the internet. A quantitative method was used in the empirical study. The questionnaires were executed in February 2012 and it was possible for everyone to answer them. For the customer satisfaction questionnaire we got 105 answers and for the non-customer questionnaire 5 answers. The findings of the customer satisfaction questionnaire indicated that most of the customers are satisfied with Mäntsälä library and its service quality. Based on the findings there weren’t any major need for improvement. Though there were some small wishes to improve library’s services like adding more opening-hours. Non-customer questionnaire didn’t manage as expected because of the lack of the answerers....

Elinkaarimalli kunnan kiinteistöjen toteutustapana
(Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu, 2012)
Tämä opinnäytetyö käsittelee Suomessa vielä suhteellisen uutta mittavien rakennusprojektien toteutustapaa, elinkaarimallia. Elinkaarimalli on kotimainen sovellus Euroopassa jo laajemmin käytössä olevasta PPP-mallista (Public Private Partnership). Elinkaarihankkeet voivat olla joko infrastruktuuri- tai talonrakennushankkeita, joissa hankkeen osapuolina ovat julkisen sektorin tilaaja ja yksityisen sektorin toteuttaja. Elinkaarihankkeet ovat mittavia, kymmenien miljoonien eurojen arvoisia uudis- ja / tai korjausrakennushankkeita, joissa normaaleihin rakennushankkeisiin verrattuna toteuttajaosapuolella on laajamittaisempi takuu- ja vastuuaika. Elin-kaarihankkeiden sopimuskokonaisuudet ovat laajoja kokonaisuuksia ja kestävät yleisesti vähintään 20–25 vuotta. Tarkalla riskienjaolla, suunnitelmallisuudella ja tiiviillä yhteistyöllä elinkaarihankkeet muodostuvat kokonaiskustannuksiltaan normaaleita rakennushankkeita pienemmiksi pitkällä ajanjaksolla.
Elinkaarihankkeet sisältävät rakennussuunnittelun ja itse rakentamisen lisäksi aina vähintään valmiin rakennuksen ylläpito- ja huoltotoiminnot. Toteuttajaosapuoli voi tarjota myös laajan kokonaisuuden muita palveluita sekä mahdollisesti myös hankkeen rahoitusjärjestelyt yksityiseltä sektorilta. Elinkaarimallin yleisin käyttökohde Suomessa on mittavat koulukokonaisuuksien rakennushankkeet.
Opinnäytteen teoriaosuudessa on käyty rakennusteollisuuden elinkaarimallin laajaa teoriaa lävitse. Opinnäytteen empiirisessä osuudessa on tutkittu sekä kvantitatiivisin että kvalitatiivisin menetelmin tulevien vuosien 2012–2015 aikaista elinkaarimallin markkinoita julkisen sektorin potentiaalisimmassa asiakaskunnassa, eli Suomen 50 suurimman kunnan keskuudessa. Kvantitatiivisessa kartoitustutkimuksessa on tutkittu muun muassa elinkaarimallin tunnettuutta, mielenkiintoisuutta ja hyödyllisyyttä sekä merkittävimpiä syitä elinkaarimallin käytön puolesta kuntien kiinteistörakentamisesta päättävien johtajien keskuudessa. Kartoitustutkimus toteutettiin sähköisesti Webropol-ohjelmistolla ja siihen vastasi 36 henkilöä. Lisäksi opinnäytettä varten toteutettiin kvalitatiivinen havainnointitutkimus, johon osallistui kolme kiinteistörakentamisesta päättävää johtajaa.
Opinnäyte on toteutettu toimeksiantona Lemminkäinen Talo Oy:n toimesta. Opinnäyte on toteutettu, koska Suomessa Kuntaliitolla, rakennus- ja finanssialan konsulteilla tai palvelun-tuottajilla itsellään ei ole tarkkaa käsitystä elinkaarihankkeiden markkinapotentiaalista Suomessa tulevina vuosina. Myöskään kiinteistörakennushankkeista päättävien kunnan päättäjien mielipiteitä, uskomuksia ja asenteita aiheesta ei tunneta.
Tutkimustulokset on jaoteltu pääasiassa kolmeen ryhmään kuntien asukasluvun perusteella. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että suurten kuntien ryhmässä on eniten mielenkiintoa ja mahdollisuuksia toteuttaa tulevia suuria kiinteistöhankkeitaan elinkaarimallin mukaisesti. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että rakentamisen elinkaarimalli tunnetaan vähäisestä käyt-tömäärästään huolimatta hyvin ja sitä pidetään melko mielenkiintoisena tapana toteuttaa suuria kiinteistöhankkeita. Tuloksista selviää muun muassa, että elinkaarihankkeiden markkinoiden uskotaan kasvavan hieman Suomessa tulevina vuosina. Tutkimustulosten avulla Lemminkäinen Talo Oy voi kehittää B-to-B markkinointiansa potentiaalisimmalle asiakaskunnalle....

Exchange Rates in Accounting According to the Law of Accounting and Their Effects on Financial Statements Every company that operates in international markets faces exchange rates and their fluctuations in their daily operations. More and more companies own subsidiaries abroad, are engaged in the worldwide export or import trade and have outsourced their operations or parts of it abroad. Exchange rates vary every day and some factors can cause large and significant fluctuations in the value of the currency against another currency. Because of these fluctuations the companies have a possibility to benefit from them but also at the same time there is as major threat to their unfavorable development. The processing of the exchange rates in a company’s accounting is directed by the law of accounting. In the law there are statutes about converting a foreign currency into the Euro and about consolidating financial statements of the group’s foreign subsidiaries to the group’s consolidated financial statement. This thesis examines the situations in which these laws are considered, and how the entries are made by the exchange rate differences and how foreign currency translation adjustments affect the financial statements, profit and loss account and balance sheet items. The thesis is not an assignment from a company but it was made from the point of view of an internationally operating Finnish group. The aim was to produce useful general information about exchange rates and their significance to corporate employees or students interested in the topic. The aim was to present the theory in an easily understandable way and illustrate it with examples. The study was carried out as a literature overview and the principal source was the law of accounting and the guidelines by the Accounting Standards’ Board. Literature on international trade, accounting and consolidated financial statements was also used. In the examples there were used the daily exchange rates published by the European Central bank. The final section of the study contains example figures from four companies’ financial statements or interim reports in order to obtain a more realistic view of the effects of the financial exchange rate fluctuations on a company’s business. Each company refers to the exchange rates as one of the factors that have essential influence on the company’s income. Their key figures clarify the degree of the exchange rate differences....

Expert assisted judicial mediation : case: the District Court of Espoo The District Court of Espoo is one of four district courts which experiment the expert assisted judicial mediation in matters with regard to custody, visiting rights and maintenance of a child (the so-called Follo-model) in 2011 and 2012. The other three district courts are the District Court of Helsinki, the District Court of Pohjois-Karjala and the District Court of Oulu. The purpose of my thesis is to evaluate the experi-ences and results of this experiment in the District Court of Espoo. Usually it takes a long time before a district court is able to make a decision in a matter concerning a child. The situation remains unresolved which is harmful for the child and the parents. Often one of the parents is not satisfied with the decision and submits an appeal in the court of appeal which means that it will take years to reach the final decision. The purpose of the expert assisted judicial mediation is to cut down the time it takes to handle a dispute in the district court, and to reach a decision that both parties are ready to accept and thus stabilize the child’s life. In order to make this happen and further the mediation, psychologists and/or social workers take part in the mediation process and offer their expertise. This two-year experiment is carried out with the means provided in the act on mediation in civil matters and confirmation of settle-ments in general courts (394/2011). My thesis consists of two main parts. The first part is about the theoretical back-ground of the court proceedings and judicial mediation in the matters concerning a child. The second part is an analysis of the judges and experts’ opinions of the exper-iment in the District Court of Espoo. I have gathered their opinions via e-mail and personal interviews....
