However , the changes in the curricula of courses in Accounting did not follow the speed of these changes , indicating that even professionals recently formed, may have disabilities in relation to knowledge aimed at convergence of Brazilian standards with international standards. In this sense , the screen goes into the need for continued education as it pertains to training and updating of accounting professionals throughout the country, especially for graduates prior to changes in accounting rules , especially in states such as the Amazon, where the shortage of skilled labor has resulted in the importation of professionals from other regions of Brazil . Thus, this study was to analyze whether there is general among the counters of the state of Amazonas, the culture of continuing education, as well as knowing the reflection of that quest at level update these professionals regarding the convergence of international accounting standards . Was first performed a literature search on Brazilian accounting standards and convergence with international standards; the accounting professional in Brazil, explaining about the evolution of the profession, their training and the skills and competencies demanded by the labor market; and, finally, Continuing Education, contemplating the concepts and definitions , programs Continuing Education in Brazil and abroad and the importance of Continuing Education under the focus of the Human Capital Theory. In addition, a survey was conducted with the application of a questionnaire to 99 counters closed in the state of Amazonas. Was used for the treatment of the data descriptive statistics, calculating the mode, median, mean and standard deviation, in addition to the chi- square test, with a significance level of 5 % . The results showed that there is a significant culture of continuing education among respondents, however, the overall average of updating professional corresponded to a level between weak and regular. It was concluded that the culture of the search for continuing education was important to increase the level of professional updating factor, since a significant portion of total respondents who reported having sought continuing education concerning the convergence of international accounting standards, level had a good regular update. The opposite was also noticed, when most accountants who reported having little or nothing sought continuing education on the subject, demonstrated a poor level of bad update. These results are consonant with the Human Capital Theory. / A convergência das normas contábeis aos padrões internacionais tem gerado mudanças nas legislações e práticas contábeis brasileiras refletindo nos resultados auferidos pelas empresas. Entretanto, as alterações nas grades curriculares dos cursos de Ciências Contábeis não acompanharam a velocidade de tais mudanças, indicando que, mesmo profissionais formados recentemente, podem apresentar deficiência em relação aos conhecimentos voltados à convergência das normas brasileiras às normas internacionais. Neste sentido, entra em tela a necessidade da educação continuada, no que tange a capacitação e atualização dos profissionais contábeis de todo país, principalmente dos formados anteriormente à mudança nas regras contábeis, notadamente em estados como o Amazonas, em que a falta de mão de obra qualificada tem resultado na importação de profissionais de outras regiões do Brasil. Diante disso, este estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar se há, dentre os contadores do Estado do Amazonas, a busca pela educação continuada, bem como conhecer seu reflexo no nível de atualização desses profissionais quanto à convergência das normas contábeis internacionais. Foi realizada, primeiramente, uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre as normas brasileiras de contabilidade e a convergência aos padrões internacionais; o profissional contábil no Brasil, explanando sobre a evolução da profissão, sua formação e as habilidades e competências demandadas pelo mercado de trabalho; e, por fim, a Educação Continuada, contemplando os conceitos e definições, os programas de Educação Continuada no Brasil e no exterior e a importância da Educação Continuada sob o enfoque da Teoria do Capital Humano. Além disso, foi realizado um survey, com a aplicação de um questionário com questões fechadas a 99 contadores do Estado do Amazonas. Utilizou-se para o tratamento dos dados a estatística descritiva, com o cálculo da moda, mediana, média e desvio-padrão, além do teste de Qui-quadrado, com um nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que há uma busca relevante pela educação continuada entre os respondentes, no entanto, a média geral de atualização dos profissionais correspondeu a um nível entre fraco e regular. Concluiu-se que a busca pela educação continuada foi um fator importante para o aumento do nível de atualização dos profissionais, já que uma parcela relevante do total dos respondentes que informaram ter buscado a educação continuada, referente à convergência das normas contábeis internacionais, possuíam nível de atualização regular a bom. O oposto foi igualmente percebido, quando a maioria dos contadores que responderam ter buscado pouco ou nada a educação continuada sobre o tema, demonstraram possuir nível de atualização péssimo a fraco. Tais resultados foram consoantes com a Teoria do Capital Humano.

Esse estudo investigou se as notas explicativas às demonstrações financeiras, preparadas de acordo com as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), cumprem seu objetivo principal de fornecer informações úteis a investidores e credores no mercado brasileiro. A análise foi desenvolvida a partir de dados obtidos junto a usuários externos, investidores e credores, de informações financeiras divulgadas em notas explicativas às demonstrações financeiras de companhias abertas brasileiras, listadas na BM&FBovespa, no período de 1º de outubro de 2013 a 28 de fevereiro de 2014. Foram identificadas, também, as opiniões de preparadores de informações financeiras e contrapostas às dos usuários externos quanto às características da informação financeira útil, emanadas do The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting IASB (2010); foi ainda analisada a influência do processo adotado pelo IASB para definir requerimentos de divulgação incluídos em suas normas e pronunciamentos contábeis associado à confiabilidade trazida por auditores independentes (Big four) quanto ao enforcement à aderência a esses requerimentos, no âmbito da utilidade da informação financeira. De forma geral, os resultados indicaram que as notas explicativas às demonstrações financeiras atingem parcialmente seu objetivo principal de fornecer informações úteis a investidores e credores no mercado brasileiro, uma vez que preparadores da informação financeira norteiam-se pelos requerimentos de divulgação definidos nos IFRS de forma bastante literal, inclusive com auxílio de disclosure check list, propiciando a inclusão de informações imateriais em notas explicativas devido à ausência de orientação específica sobre determinação de materialidade nas normas do IASB. / In this study we have examined whether the explanatory notes to financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) achieve their main objective of providing useful information to investors and creditors in the Brazilian market. The analysis was based on data obtained from external users, investors and creditors with respect to financial information disclosed in the explanatory notes of financial statements of Brazilian public companies listed on the BM&FBovespa, during the period from October 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014. It was identified the opinions of the preparers of financial information and compared them with those of external users regarding the characteristics of useful financial information described in The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting IASB (2010). It was also analyzed the influence of IASB´s process to define the disclosure requirements in their accounting standards and pronouncements, together with the reliability resulting from independent auditors (Big Four) regarding the enforcement of compliance with these requirements, as they relate to the usefulness of financial information. Overall, the results revealed that the explanatory notes to the financial statements partially achieve their main goal of providing useful information to investors and creditors in the Brazilian market, since preparers of financial information are guided by the disclosure requirements defined in the IFRS quite literally, sometimes with the assistance of a disclosure checklist, resulting in the inclusion of immaterial information in the notes, due to the lack of specific guidance in the IFRS regarding materiality.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos dos Reis Neto.pdf: 1762994 bytes, checksum: ee19957e4e03071af1aed766e17e9bc0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-02 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / The acceleration of the financial crisis in late 2008 impacted currencies and markets so that companies operating derivative hedging purposes other than those they were surprised by sudden changes in their positions. This brought the derivative financial instruments to the center of attention and questioning what the role of accounting in providing information to stakeholders. These instruments are used to manage the risks to which companies are exposed because of their business, but these same tools can also be used to leverage a result, bringing great risks to stakeholders. This attitude is motivated mainly by the asymmetry of information between the parties, since the risks involved with the operation and derivatives are not fully reflected in financial statements, thereby causing an agency conflict. Accounting, through to recent international standards and pronouncements of the CPC, aims to reduce this information asymmetry through adequate disclosure of important information so that users can assess the nature and extent of risks arising from derivative financial instruments that the entity is exposed and how these risks are managed. This study aimed to show whether non-financial companies are adopting accounting standards adequately explained by the pronouncements of the Accounting Standard Committee (CPC) with regard to items concerning the disclosure of derivative transactions. To this were consulted Notes to Financial Statements. The Securities Commission has the power to search data from standardized financial statements. The methodology was developed a checklist with key standards for disclosure of transactions with derivative financial instruments, issued by the CPC. Firms in the sample were 98 companies with the most actively traded shares on the BOVESPA in 2010. The main results showed that the companies are, in general, adequately showing the operations with financial instruments, even though the need to adjust the financial disclosures for the year since 2010 and these rules are published in late 2009. / A aceleração da crise financeira no final de 2008 impactou moedas e mercados fazendo com que empresas que operavam derivativos com finalidades diversas das de hedge fossem surpreendidas por variações bruscas de suas posições. Isso trouxe os instrumentos financeiros derivativos para o centro das atenções e o questionamento de qual seria o papel da contabilidade na divulgação de informações para os stakeholders. Estes instrumentos são utilizados para o gerenciamento de riscos aos quais as empresas estão expostas devido aos seus negócios, porém estes mesmos instrumentos também podem ser utilizados para a alavancagem do resultado, trazendo grandes riscos para os stakeholders. Esta atitude é motivada principalmente pela assimetria de informação entre as partes, já que os riscos envolvidos com a operação com derivativos não são perfeitamente evidencias nas demonstrações financeiras, causando assim um conflito de agência. A contabilidade, através das recentes normas internacionais e dos pronunciamentos técnicos do CPC, tem como objetivo reduzir essa assimetria de informação através da evidenciação adequada de informações importantes para que os usuários possam avaliar a natureza e extensão dos riscos resultantes dos instrumentos financeiros derivativos que a entidade está exposta e como estes riscos são gerenciados. Este trabalho teve por objetivo mostrar se as empresas não financeiras estão adotando adequadamente as normas contábeis explicitadas pelos pronunciamentos técnicos do Comitê de Pronunciamento Contábil (CPC), com relação aos itens que dizem respeitos à evidenciação de operações com derivativos. Para isso foram consultadas as Notas Explicativas às Demonstrações Contábeis. A Comissão de Valores Mobiliários foi a fonte de consulta dos dados das demonstrações financeiras padronizadas. Como metodologia, foi elaborado um checklist com as principais normas referentes à evidenciação de operações com instrumentos financeiros derivativos, emitidas pelo CPC. As empresas da amostra foram as 98 empresas com as ações mais negociadas na BM&FBOVESPA no ano de 2010. Os principais resultados mostraram que as empresas estão, no geral, evidenciando adequadamente as operações com instrumentos financeiros, mesmo tendo à necessidade de adequar as divulgações financeiras já para o exercício de 2010 e sendo essas normas publicadas no final de 2009.

Wi th the advent of the imple menta tion of intema tional accounting standard s, IFRS, accounting Brazi lia n, we noted that this adoption has raised the leveI of quality and compa rab ili ty of financ ia I statements of domestic compa nies.

O advento da implementação das normas internacionais de contabilidade, padrão IFRS, na contabilidade brasileira, evidencia que essa adoção elevou o grau de qualidade e comparabilidade das demonstrações financeiras das companhias nacionais. A mudança de uma contabilidade baseada em regras para uma contabilidade baseada em princípios aumentou o grau de julgamento exigido pelos responsáveis das demonstrações contábeis. Com essa nova realidade é natural que os profissionais responsáveis pela manutenção e publicação das demonstrações financeiras estejam ainda numa curva de aprendizado dessa nova cultura. Nesse cenário, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar e analisar o processo de convergência às Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade, mais especificamente à adoção do custo atribuído (CPC 27) do Ativo Imobilizado.

Interpretation 101-3 of the AICPA Code of Professional Ethics provides four independence requirements for certified public accountants performing bookkeeping services. As such, these requirements are largely thought of as rules requiring compliance. The purpose of this study was to provide empirical evidence related to the question, "Can the guidelines in Interpretation 101-3 be effectively interpreted?" Accordingly, the research objectives were twofold: (1) to make an estimate of the effectiveness of independence discrimination resulting from the use of Interpretation 101-3 , and (2) to identify variables related to differences in CPAs' judgements of impairment and non-impairment of CPA independence in situations covered by Interpretation 101-3. The research methodology for this study was based on a case approach. Twelve situations developed from analysis of Interpretation 101-3 and discussions with practitioners were organized into twenty-four cases in which a CPA firm provided a variety of accounting services. These twenty-four cases were divided into two case sets of twelve cases each and then combined with two cases from a previous study by David Lavin. These cases were submitted to an expert panel for validation as to their relationship to Interpretation 101-3, and a predetermined "correct" judgement was established for use in analysis. A mail survey of the licensees of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy was used for collecting data. The CPAs were provided with a copy of Interpretation 101-3 and asked to base their judgements exclusively on the standard. Hypothesis testing was used to determine the effectiveness of the independence discrimination resulting from the use of Interpretation 101-3. Statistical models were developed for evaluating differences in the effectiveness of independence discrimination and differences in the CPAs' judgements themselves.
