M.Com. (International Accounting) / This minor dissertation investigates how the conflict in the classification of financial assets between IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements is being bridged in the financial statements of banks by reviewing the classification of financial assets in the statement of financial position, accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. IAS 39 provides specific classifications for financial instruments, while IAS 1 provides a classification based on liquidity. The minor dissertation applied a quantitative content analysis of the annual financial statements of South African banks for the 2011 financial year. Companies in the sample selection were drawn from the FTSE/JSE classification of the Top 100 companies selected on their market capitalisation on 30 December 2011. Seven banks are included in the Top 100 companies. The minor dissertation found that the classification of financial assets as required in IAS 39 is not shown in the statement of financial position. The statement of financial position is based on the liquidity classification in IAS 1. In contrast, the accounting policies for financial instruments are based on the IAS 39 classification. The structure of the notes to the financial statements follows the classification in the statement of financial position. The minor dissertation further found that the conflict between the IAS 1 and IAS 39 classifications is bridged in the detail of the notes. Two methods are being used to bridge the conflict. The first method is to provide an IAS 39 reconciliation in each applicable note. In this reconciliation, the total amount of the note is allocated to an applicable IAS 39 classification. The second method is that the line items in the statement of financial position are allocated IAS 39 classifications in a table format. The table allocates the amount of individual assets and liabilities as identified in the statement of financial position in the categories required by IAS 39. Through using both Method 1 (reconciliation in each note) and Method 2 (a separate table based on the statement of financial position) the conflict between IAS 1 (liquidity classification) and IAS 39 is bridged. However, the IAS 39 classification is not directly obtainable from the primary financial statements. In the future, the study can be more comprehensively replicated in other countries and international research, as this exploratory research was only limited to seven banks in South Africa. Further research can also investigate entities other than banks to see how they bridge the conflict between IAS 1 and IAS 39. The review of the treatment of financial instruments resulted in the replacement of IAS 39 by IFRS 9 in November 2009. Future research of the new IFRS 9 classifications may assess how the conflict is being treated. In addition, further research can assess the quality of disclosure in the classification of financial assets/instruments in the financial statements of banks and other entities

A abordagem adotada para a execução do estudo será qualitativa e a estratégia de pesquisa escolhida situouse num estudo exploratório. A coleta de informações necessárias à elaboração do estudo foi realizada a partir das empresas de saneamento básico Nordestinas vinculadas a AESBE. A coleta de informações necessárias à elaboração do estudo foi realizada por meio do preenchimento e aplicação de 2 tipos de questionários, junto aos contadores das empresas de saneamento do nordeste (etapa 1), e também através da análise dos registros em arquivos, ou seja, as Demonstrações Contábeis das referidas companhias (etapa 2). Com o intuito de responder como está o panorama das empresas de saneamento do Nordeste no se refere a adequação às Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade, mais especificamente a CPC 37, ICPC 01 e OCPC 05, observou-se como panorama que, através dos 18 questionários analisados dentre as 09 empresas de saneamento do Nordeste, 03 empresas concluíram seu processo de adesão às normas internacionais de contabilidade, 02 empresas ainda estão neste processo de convergência às normas internacionais e 03 empresas nem sequer iniciaram os procedimentos requeridos pelas normas técnicas para a adesão aos padrões internacionais. Além disso, verificou-se também que 01 empresa, apesar de afirmar já ter aderido 100% às normas internacionais, não cumpre o que preconiza a CPC 37, assim como as demais normas técnicas, ICPC 01 e OCPC 05. Adicionalmente, ressalta-se que apesar de ser um processo obrigatório desde 2010, apenas 33% das empresas cumpriram com os itens obrigatórios requeridos pelas normas técnicas aqui estudadas e podem ser consideradas como convergidas aos padrões internacionais de contabilidade, uma porcentagem pequena quando leva-se em consideração a margem de 5 a 7 anos concedidos para sua adoção. / The objective of this study was to verify the suitability stage of Northeast sanitation companies on the specificities present in CPC 37 ICPC 01 and OCPC05 analyzing thus the process of convergence with international accounting standards.
