 The Bulgarian and South East Europe
experience during the last decade indicates that a successful
transition to a market economy requires not only ownership
transfer, but the building up of an institutional environment as
well, where private property can operate effectively while being
engaged with social welfare. This is a crucial component for
establishing accountable, rational and owners-oriented mechanisms
for economic entities management. The problems regarding the proper
identification and effective implementation of these mechanisms
represent the main issues of corporate governance.
This Dictionary is the first
specialized edition in the area of corporate governance. It is a
part of the Corporate Governance
Reform and Mass Media: Building Advocacy Capacity Project of
The Center for the Study of Democracy's Economic Program, aimed at
providing effective support to a wide range of media experts,
reporting or analyzing the status and performance of Bulgarian
companies. It will contribute for a better understanding of the
internal business processes and their objective presentation, which
the wide public needs.
This pocket-size Dictionary contains

developing areas of corporate governance, law, accounting and
finance, stock exchange and taxation. The authors have provided a
literal translation of the English terms used, while some of them
are additionally explained and clarified. The terms are presented
in the universally-accepted spelling and transcription, and are
grouped at the end of the publication in indecis in both
languages.

Accounting terms" (June 1994, Moscow) were used as main information
sources for this Dictionary.
