“…Creating new jobs in SMEs is never driven by just one factor (Kambey et al, 2018;Nawangsari and Sutawidjaya, 2019;Setyawati, et al, 2019).

Purpose: Administrative barriers to employment pose a problem in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) which have an essential role in the European economy, compared to large ones. The existing rigidity and inflexibility of the labor market have further slowed down their position in creating new jobs. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to evaluate the current state of administrative barriers to employment for SMEs in Croatia and Slovenia. Design/methodology/approach: Applying descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on a survey data for 699 Croatian and 747 Slovenian SMEs. Findings: The empirical results on a sample of about 700 SMEs for both countries expose some differences between them. In respect of administrative barriers to employment for SMEs, the most noticeable problem in Croatia is associated to frequent changes in the regulation, while in Slovenia the most highlighted problem is associated to additional time and unnecessary number of documents. Moreover, the empirical results reveal significant differences concerning the perception of the extent of administrative barriers to employment between different groups of SMEs, whereby not all of the characteristics have the same implications on this perception. Practical Implications: The overall findings are important especially for economic policy makers, who need to consider the specific characteristics and needs of SMEs when preparing legislation. Originality/Value: The combination of primary research and comparative perspective represents the main originality and value of the paper.

“…According to Adesina (2015), planning may usually be called budgets or targets, which provide an objective/aim, a meaning and a direction to any operations during a defined period. Auditing functions provide the checks and verifications for validity and accountability (Macintosh & Daft, 1987;Kambey et al, 2018). Warren, Reeve & Fess (2005) defined "accounting as an information system that produces reports to the interested parties about economic activities and the company's condition".…”

Purpose:The purpose of the study is to analyse costs and information management as determinants of the final price strategy, the cost components and to identify the impact of factors affecting the performance of SMEs. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology is based on the comparative analysis of data using both primary and secondary sources. The data collected are analyzed using the regression method. The results show that cost and information management contributes to determinate the company's price of goods and services. Findings: The research for SMEs shows that company performance depends on managerial decision taking into account cost management and accounting information. Decision-making in this context is determined by making a choice between alternatives and it is based on objectives. Cost and information management has a key goal, to organize costs by creating products and services, so company managers can use cost information as a guide to setting sales prices and inventory estimates by determining profits. Practical Implications: This work will be useful to the people in the academic field, readers, and knowledge seekers and will be of great relevance in the area of managerial decisions and performance appraisal. Originality/Value: It contributes to the knowledge of financial managers and other accountants as it will assist them in effective planning and control.
