O efeito da convergência brasileira às IFRS no gerenciamento de resultados das empresas abertas brasileiras não financeiras

Grecco, Marta Cristina Pelucio 04 November 2013 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:31:03Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Marta Cristina Pelucio Grecco.pdf: 992557 bytes, checksum: 539419ae7d82230dc40ffe5259361b13 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-11-04 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim of this study was to evaluate whether changes in accounting practices brought reduction in earnings management of listed Brazilian non-financial companies, resulting in improvement of quality in accounting information. A sample of non-financial Brazilian companies (361 firms) was used. Data were collected at the website of the CVM or at the website of the companies, when necessary. To measure earnings management through discretionary accruals Jones Model and KS Model were applied, including the internationally used variations of these models and the use of polynomial equations. A model developed in this study was used to observe the effect of IFRS on earnings management of firms in periods Full- IFRS and Hybrid, and the restrictive effects of Big Four audit, corporate governance and regulatory environment. The results of earnings management were considered through discretionary accruals obtained by residues of the models that had better information as statistical results: Model Jones polynomial; Modified Jones Model by Kothari, Leone and Wasley (2005) original polynomial and omitting accounts receivable; Modified Jones Model by Teoh, Welch and Wong (1998) with the omission of the polynomial variation of accounts receivable and inclusion of ROA; and Model KS polynomial. Evidence was found that convergence to IFRS had a restrictive effect on earnings management in Brazil after the complete implementation of IFRS. Among the factors constraining earnings management studied by Big Four audit, corporate governance and regulatory environment, it was noted that the most effective is the regulatory environment. Entities, whose industry is regulated by a regulatory agency in addition to the CVM, have lower levels of earnings management than the others. It was also noted that the larger the company the lower is the level of earnings management. It is noteworthy that the process of convergence to IFRS in Brazil is recent, this way, this work was limited to short coverage periods of these standards. Given this limitation, it is suggested that more research would be conducted to examine earnings management in IFRS in Brazil in later periods, to validate the results obtained by this work, maintaining the reduced use of discretionary appropriations in light of IFRS in Brazil. / O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi avaliar se as mudanças nas práticas contábeis trouxeram redução no gerenciamento de resultados das empresas abertas brasileiras não financeiras, ocasionando uma melhoria na qualidade da informação contábil. Foi utilizada uma amostra composta por companhias abertas brasileiras não financeiras (361 empresas). Os dados foram coletados no sítio da CVM ou no sítio das próprias empresas, quando necessário. Para mensurar o gerenciamento de resultados por meio de apropriações discricionárias foram aplicados os Modelos Jones e KS, incluindo as variações internacionalmente utilizadas destes modelos e com uso de equações polinomiais. Foi utilizada uma modelagem desenvolvida neste trabalho para observar o efeito das IFRS no gerenciamento de resultados das empresas, nos períodos Full-IFRS e Híbrido, e dos efeitos restritivos de auditoria por Big Four, governança corporativa e ambiente regulatório. Foram considerados como apropriações discricionárias, os resíduos dos modelos de gerenciamento de resultados que apresentaram melhores informações conforme resultados estatísticos: Modelo Jones polinomial; Modelo Jones Modificado por Kothari, Leone e Wasley (2005) polinomial original e com omissão de contas a receber; Modelo Jones Modificado por Teoh, Welch e Wong (1998) polinomial com omissão da variação de contas a receber e com inclusão do ROA; e Modelo KS polinomial. Foram encontradas evidências de que a convergência às IFRS teve efeito restritivo no gerenciamento de resultados no Brasil após a implantação completa das IFRS. Entre os fatores restritivos ao gerenciamento de resultados estudados, auditoria por Big Four, governança corporativa e ambiente regulatório, notou-se que o mais efetivo é o ambiente regulatório. As entidades cujo setor é regulado por uma agência regulatória além da CVM, apresentam menores níveis de gerenciamento de resultados que as demais. Notou-se também que quanto maior a empresa menor o nível de gerenciamento de resultados. Ressalta-se que o processo de convergência às IFRS no Brasil ainda é recente, desta forma, este trabalho foi limitado ao curto período de vigência destas normas. Considerando-se esta limitação, sugere-se que sejam efetuadas mais pesquisas para analisar o gerenciamento de resultados na Era IFRS no Brasil em períodos posteriores, para validação dos resultados obtidos por este trabalho, com manutenção da redução do uso de apropriações discricionárias à luz das IFRS no Brasil.

Adoptionsfaktorer vid implementering av molnbaserad redovisning : En kvalitativ studie på små och medelstora redovisningsbyråer / Factors to cloud-based client accounting adoption : A qualitative study on small and medium accounting practices

Jonsson, Jennifer, Schou, Anton January 2022 (has links)
Syfte: Molnbaserade tjänster har blivit allt vanligare i redovisningsbranschen. Därför syftar denna studie till att undersöka vilka faktorer som ligger till grund för små och medelstora redovisningsbyråers adoptionsbeslut vid implementeringen av molnbaserad klientredovisning. Metod: Studien utgår ifrån den hermeneutiska forskningsfilosofin med en abduktiv ansats då tidigare studier inom området varit få och att vi söker förståelse för motiven bakom människors handlingar. Rent praktiskt har elva semi-strukturerade intervjuer hos små och medelstora redovisningsbyråer genomförts. En modifierad EDI-adoptionsmodell har använts som en del av studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt. Resultat och slutsats: Faktorer som påverkar beslutet följer till stor del den modifierade EDI- adoptionsmodellen. Däremot hade organisatorisk beredskap inte lika stor påverkan som övriga tre kategorier. Dessutom upptäcktes en ny faktor, trygghet. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien bidrar till en förståelse för vilka faktorer som är av betydelse vid adoption av molnbaserade redovisningssystem. Det bör vara av intresse för leverantörer, men även ge stöd åt redovisningsbyråer som står inför ett sådant beslut. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Ett förslag är att undersöka vilka faktorer som är av betydelse i framtiden när molnbaserad redovisning är mindre nytt, hur byråer påverkas efter implementeringen samt hur relationerna med klienterna och lönsamheten påverkas. Vidare hade det varit önskvärt att undersöka den nytillkomna faktorn, trygghet, och se om den bör läggas till som en del av en ny modifierad EDI-adoptionsmodell. / Aim: Cloud computing is more interesting now than ever before, especially in the accounting industry. Therefore, this study aims to examine which factors motivate small and medium sized accounting practices to adopt cloud-based client accounting. Method: This study assumes a hermeneutic research philosophy with an abductive approach because of the lack of previous studies in the field and that we are seeking to understand motives behind people's actions. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees from small and medium-sized accounting practices. A modified EDI-adoption model was used as a part of the study's theoretical framework. Results and conclusions: The results show that most of the factors follow the modified EDI- adoption model but the organisational readiness didn ́t have as much impact on SMP:s decision as the others. A new factor, safety, was also discovered. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to an understanding of which factors that have an impact on SMP:s decision to adopt cloud-based client accounting. The findings should be of interest to different cloud accounting providers such as Fortnox, as well as accounting practices that are thinking about adopting cloud-based client accounting. Suggestions for future research: One suggestion for future research is to study which factors have an impact on SMP:s in the future when cloud-based accounting isn ́t seen as something new and how the client relationships and profitability of the practices will be affected by the adoption. Also, it would be interesting to examine the new factor, safety, and see if it should be a part of the future EDI-adoption model.

Financial performance measurement supporting the transition towards circular business models

Kanzari, Amal January 2023 (has links)
Financial performance measurement plays an important role in leading decision-makers through strategic innovation, such as business model innovation. To convey relevant information, it is important that the practices used to measure financial performance are appropriate to what is being measured. This thesis focuses on the financial performance measurement supporting the transition towards circular business models (CBMs), which has been under-researched. More specifically, this thesis aims to identify the key practices that enable the financial performance measurement of CBMs and support the transition from linear business models to CBMs. Additionally, it seeks to contribute with insights about the financial outcomes of CBMs in the context of sustainable-oriented technologies. This thesis consists of a compilation of three papers, a systematic literature review and two empirical studies. The outset of this thesis lies in the systematic literature review, which examines the financial aspects addressed in CBM literature and in relation to the transition towards CBMs. The empirical studies examine the financial performance measurement practices that support the transition towards two different types of CBMs, namely result- oriented CBMs and sufficiency-driven CBMs. Both studies are based on an action case study, which involved collaborative development of financial performance measurement tools with practitioners from the manufacturing industry. The results of this thesis emphasize the customer-centric aspect of financial performance measurement of CBM. The key practices identified by this thesis suggest considering costs involved in customer-value creation when measuring performance. The findings also highlight the importance of taking the offering perspective for defining the cost structure and engaging with customers early in the transition to reduce uncertainty about future cash flows and hidden costs. Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is proposed as a measurement technique. However, the results suggest adapting the LCC perspective, by addressing providers’ or users’ cost, to satisfy the different needs of decision makers. To cover the long-term returns of the CBM offering, multiple use cycles of the offering and of its underlying assets should be considered in the LCC. In terms of cost management, the findings of this thesis suggest an outside-in approach to reduce costs while enhancing customer value creation and re-creation. Finally, this thesis underscore the necessity of employing the recommended practices from various evaluation perspectives to bolster the iterative transition process toward CBMs. Regarding the financial outcomes of CBMs, this thesis shows that the transition towards CBMs in the context of sustainability-oriented technologies holds promising financial advantages for both providers and customers. Technological innovation and retained product ownership contribute to improving the financial performance of CBMs. / Finansiell prestationsmätning spelar en viktig roll när det kommer till att vägleda beslutsfattare genom strategiska innovationer. Avhandlingen syftar till att identifiera de viktigaste praktiker som möjliggör finansiell prestationsmätning av cirkulära affärsmodeller och som stödjer övergången från linjära affärsmodeller till cirkulära affärsmodeller. Dessutom strävar avhandlingen efter att bidra med insikter om lönsamhet för företag som introducerar cirkulära affärsmodeller i samband med införandet av hållbara teknologier. Denna avhandling består av tre artiklar och en kappa. Artiklarna utgörs av en systematisk litteraturöversikt samt två empiriska studier. Avhandlingens utgångspunkt är den systematisk litteraturöversikten, som granskar de ekonomiska aspekter som behandlas i litteraturen om cirkulära affärsmodeller samt i relation till övergången från linjära till cirkulära affärsmodeller. De empiriska artiklarna undersöker de praktiker för finansiell prestationsmätning som stödjer övergången till två olika typer av cirkulära affärsmodeller. Dessa är resultatorienterade cirkulära affärsmodeller och suffiency-driven cirkulära affärsmodeller. Båda studierna bygger på aktionsbaserade fallstudier som involverar samarbete med stora tillverkningsföretag. Avhandlingens resultat framhäver ett kundcentrerat perspektiv vid finansiell prestationsmätning av cirkulära affärsmodeller. En av de viktigaste praktikerna för prestationsmätning som identifierats betonar vikten av att hänsyn tas till kostnader som är involverade i att skapa kundvärde. Resultaten understryker också vikten av att överväga hela erbjudandet som perspektiv när kostnadsstrukturen definieras. Beräkning av livscykelkostnaden (LCC) föreslås som mätmetod. Resultaten visar dock på vikten av att LCC anpassas genom att ta hänsyn både till leverantörers och användares kostnadsstrukturer för att tillgodose beslutsfattares olika behov. För att möjliggöra en långsiktig lönsamhet i en cirkulär affärsmodell bör flera användningscykler för den ingående tillgången ingå i erbjudandet till kund redan vid affärsmodellens designstadium. Cirkulära erbjudanden kan medföra både ökade och reducerade kostnader samt kassaflödesförändringar på systemnivå. Dessa förändringar föreslås att inkluderas i mätningen av cirkulära affärsmodellers finansiella prestation. Vidare framhåller resultaten behovet av att använda föreslagna praktiker utifrån olika utvärderingsperspektiv för att stödja en övergångsprocess mot cirkulära affärsmodeller. Slutligen, när det gäller lönsamheten för cirkulära affärsmodeller indikerar avhandlingens resultat att övergången från linjära till cirkulära affärsmodeller medför potentiella ekonomiska fördelar för både leverantörer och kunder. Teknologisk innovation samt behållande av produktägande i en cirkulär affärsmodell kan bidra till att förbättra en industriell tillverkares ekonomiska prestation. / <p>Funding agencies: MISTRA REES, VINNOVA, Division of Business Administration at Linköping University</p>

Avaliação de empresas de concessões de rodovias no Brasil

Cordeiro Filho, Mário 18 June 2009 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T18:40:39Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Mario Cordeiro Filho.pdf: 9981225 bytes, checksum: 565a2d3dad4737a7a20f562e323becab (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-18 / The purpose of this dissertation this to the study the problems related to applying valuation methods for highway concessions companies in Brazil. It is justified by the economic importance that this sector is assuming in Brazil with respect to investments in infrastructure that have already been and are going to be made. The highway concession segment in Brazil has expanded since the second half of the 1990s. Until this date there are more than 50 highway concession companies throughout the country, responsible for investment commitments of more of them R$ 10 billion related to improving and expanding the brazilian highway network. The highway concessions are specific purpose entities with a defined service life and holders of a concession right that permits them to commercially exploit segments of highways through charging tolls from the users, in exchange for assuming commitments to provide determined services and to implement investments for improvement and expansion during the concession agreement. In some cases the concession also assumes the commitment of payment of a right of concession to a Granting Authority. In this dissertation the application of valuation methods for companies, based on discounted cash flows, dividend flows, internal rate of return, payback and value multiples such as the ratio between enterprise value and its EBITDA are considered. These methods were used in the valuation of the five highway concessions granted by the Government of the State of São Paulo in the public auction that took place in October 2008. The results of this valuation as well as a critical analysis of the adequacy of the above-mentioned valuation methods are presented in chapter V and the conclusions are presented in chapter VI of this dissertation / Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar os problemas relativos a aplicação de métodos de avaliação de empresas em concessões de rodovias no Brasil, e justifica-se pela importância econômica que esse setor vem assumindo no país no que tange aos investimentos de infraestrutura realizados e a realizar. O setor de concessões de rodovias no Brasil tem se expandido desde a segunda metade da década de 90. Existe até esta data mais de 50 empresas de concessões de rodovias em todo o país, responsáveis por compromissos de investimentos de mais de R$ 10 bilhões relativos a melhoria e expansão da malha viária brasileira. As concessões de rodovias são Sociedades de Propósito Específico com vida útil definida. Detentoras de um direito de concessão que lhes permite explorar comercialmente trechos de rodovias por meio da cobrança de tarifas de pedágio dos usuários, em contrapartida, assumem o compromisso de prestar determinados serviços e implantar investimentos de melhoria e de expansão ao longo do contrato. Em alguns casos, a concessão encarrega-se do encargo de pagar direito de outorga a algum Pode Concedente. Este trabalho considerou a aplicação dos métodos de avaliação de empresas baseados em Fluxos de Caixa Descontados, Fluxos de Dividendos, Taxa Interna de Retorno, Payback e Múltiplo de Valor como, por exemplo, a relação Valor da Empresa / EBITDA. Os métodos acima foram aplicados na avaliação das cinco concessões de rodovias outorgadas pelo Governo do Estado de São Paulo no leilão público ocorrido em outubro de 2008. Os resultados dessas avaliações, assim como a análise crítica da adequação dos referidos métodos de avaliação, são apresentados no Capítulo V e as conclusões, no Capítulo VI deste trabalho

Familjeföretag i Sverige : En explorativ enkätstudie om ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrning i svenska familjeföretag / Family firms in Sweden : An exploratory survey study about management control in Swedish family firms

Ewerklou, Gustav, Lejdeby, Robin January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Forskning kring familjeföretag har på senare år fått mer och mer uppmärksamhet eftersom familjeföretagen utgör en stor del av företagen världen över. I Sverige finns det totalt 450 000 aktiva företag och av dessa är runt 90% familjeföretag. De svenska familjeföretagen är idag den största arbetsgivaren och bidrar med ca 30% av Sveriges BNP. Styrningen av familjeföretag skiljer sig ofta från icke-familjeföretag vilket har skapat ett intresse hos många forskare. Främst visar forskning på att familjeföretagen präglas av en stark företagskultur och mer sociala och emotionella typer av styrverktyg. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att med ett explorativt angreppssätt bidra med kunskap om hur ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrningen är utformad i svenska familjeföretag. Detta görs med hjälp av ett formellt och informellt perspektiv på styrningen. Metod: Studien har genomförts genom en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats. Det teoretiska materialet innefattar teori om vad ett styrpaket kan vara, vad informell och formell styrning är samt tidigare forskning om familjeföretagen. En tvärsnittsstudiedesign användes med hjälp av enkäter för att samla in det empiriska materialet från ett slumpmässigt urval av familjeföretag i Sverige. Slutsats: Denna studie bidrar till indikationer på att svenska familjeföretag har en styrning som främst är utformad på ett informellt vis. De använder samtliga delar av ett typiskt styrpaket: Kulturstyrning, planering, prestationsmätning, belöningssystem och administrativ styrning. Kulturstyrningen är mest framträdande och anses vara hjärtat i de svenska familjeföretagen. Resultatet visar att den tidigare forskningen om vilka styrverktyg som används i familjeföretag även kan appliceras på de svenska familjeföretagen till stor del. Resultatet kunde däremot inte påvisa att styrningen skiljer sig beroende på ifall ägare eller anhörig till ägare har en chefsposition eller inte i svenska familjeföretag. / Background: Research about family firms have recently got more attention since family firms are a large part of the companies around the world. In Sweden there are 450 000 active companies in total and about 90% of them are family firms. The Swedish family firms are today the largest employer and contributes with about 30% of Sweden’s GDP. Management control in family firms usually differ from those of non-family firms which has created an interest for more research in the subject. Research shows mainly that family firms has a strong corporate culture and use more social and emotional types of control practices. Purpose: The purpose of this study is that with an exploratory approach contribute with knowledge about how management control is formed in Swedish family firms. This is made with the help of a formal and informal perspective on control. Method: This study was conducted with a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The theoretical material included management control as a package, definitions of informal and formal management control and previous research about family firms. A cross-sectional study design was implemented together with a survey instrument to collect the empirical data from a random sample of family firms in Sweden. Conclusion: This study contributes with indications about the management control in Swedish family firms and shows it is mainly informal. They use all parts of a typical control package: Cultural control, planning, performance measurement, reward systems and administrative control. The cultural control is most prominent in the package and is considered to be the heart of the Swedish family firms. The result shows that the previous research about which management control practices are used in family firms also could be applied to the Swedish family firms to a large extent. The result could on the other hand not prove that the management control differs depending on whether the owner or owner’s relative is a part of the leadership or not in Swedish family firms.

The feasibility of the statement of generally accepted accounting practice for small and medium enterprises / Daniël Petrus Schutte

Schutte, Daniël Petrus January 2011 (has links)
Governments are becoming increasingly aware of SMEs as economical role players. As a result many initiatives were introduced to address the unique challenges of the SME sector. One of these initiatives was the introduction of a global accounting framework for SMEs by the International Accounting Standards Board entitled the IFRS for SMEs. South Africa became the first country to formally adopt the contents thereof as the Statement of GAAP for SMEs. The adoption of a formal accounting framework by SMEs is however challenged by, amongst other factors, the informal nature of SMEs, limited global focus, the involvement of owner–managers and different classifications of SMEs worldwide. Owing to these unique attributes it is possible that SMEs have alternative informational needs and as a result the impact of environmental factors on the adoption of the Statement of GAAP for SMEs was considered. Culture is considered the most important environmental factor affecting the accounting environment. The Value Survey Model of Hofstede was utilised to determine cultural dimensions of accounting students (n = 301) in South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK). The cultural dimensions were extended to the accounting values of Gray after which a distinct set of accounting values was identified for i) the adoption of formal, global and prescriptive accounting standards, ii) based on principles iii) by an informal SME sector. The results also revealed distinct cultural differences within South Africa as well as between South Africa and the UK. Thereafter the contents of the Statement of GAAP for SMEs/IFRS for SMEs were evaluated against reporting practices of the SME sector in South Africa. Firstly, an assessment of the contents was conducted amongst SME accountants (n = 157) using a five–point Likert–type scale. Secondly, financial statements compiled by the SME sector in South Africa were analysed to determine the relevance of the contents of the illustrative financial statements contained in the Statement of GAAP for SMEs. The analysis entailed a consolidation of a sample of SME financial statements from South Africa (n = 100). The study revealed that the accounting environment of the SME sector is affected by a wide range of environmental and related factors. These factors were summarised and discussed and recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Accounting))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Financial reporting practices in Ethiopia / Finansiele verslagdoeningspraktyke in Ethiopië / Tiragatso ya tlhagiso ya dipegelo kwa Ethiopia

Tewodros Gobena Yirorsha 08 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English, Afrikaans and Southern Sotho / The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption in Ethiopia. To this effect, the study focused on examining the key factors that would influence IFRS adoption in the context of Ethiopia, namely economic growth, economic openness, capital market development, level of accounting education as well as legal systems and government policies. The study used a mixed-method approach, which involved a survey and content analysis. While the survey was the primary research approach in this study, the secondary data analysis was used to obtain additional evidence to corroborate the information gathered through the survey. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse and interpret the data. The study results show that the aforementioned factors examined were not conducive to adopting IFRS, and thus IFRS was not regarded as suitable in Ethiopia at the time of this study. The study also revealed an absence of a single set of accounting standards in Ethiopia. / Die doel van hierdie studie was om die geskiktheid van Internasionale Finansiële Verslagdoeningstandaarde-aanneming (IFRS-aanneming) in Ethiopië te assesseer. Die studie het derhalwe daarop gefokus om die sleutelfaktore te ondersoek wat die IFRS-aanneming in die konteks van Ethiopië sal beïnvloed, naamlik ekonomiese groei, ekonomiese oopheid, kapitaalmarkontwikkeling, vlak van rekeningkundeopvoeding, asook regstelsels en regeringsbeleide. Die studie het ’n gemengdemetodebenadering gebruik, wat ’n ondersoek en inhoudsontleding ingesluit het. Hoewel die ondersoek die primêre navorsingsbenadering in hierdie studie was, is die sekondêre ontleding gebruik om bykomende bewyse te bekom om die inligting wat deur middel van die ondersoek ingesamel is, te bevestig. Beskrywende statistiek is gebruik om die data te ontleed en te interpreteer. Die resultate van die studie dui daarop dat die bogenoemde faktore wat ondersoek is, nie bevorderlik is om die IFRS aan te neem nie en derhalwe is die IFRS as nie geskik vir Ethiopië ten tye van hierdie studie beskou nie. Die studie het ook ’n afwesigheid van ’n enkele stel rekeningkundige standaarde in Ethiopië aan die lig gebring. / Maikaelelo a thutopatlisiso eno e ne e le go sekaseka go tshwanelega ga go amogelwa ga Seemo sa Tlhagiso ya Dipegelo Tsa Ditšhelete sa Boditšhabatšhaba (IFRS) kwa Ethiopia.
