Goodwill is one of the most complex and unclear concepts within financial accounting; it is uncertain what it represents as an asset, it is only recognized during the creation of business combinations and is subject to impairments. The question becomes therefore what meaning is actually to be made from goodwill’s definite appearance as a financial statement line item? Due to a perceived low relevance by users of financial statements, it can be stated that the current narration by the accounting item goodwill fails to meet the fundamental purpose of accounting. Therefore, a study to bring a comprehensive clarification of the accounting item is required where this study attempts to achieve this objective by studying the acquirers’ perceptions of goodwill. First was a thorough theoretical background established that compiles a wide collection of relevant literature on goodwill. Then were semi-structured interviews conducted with top managers of nine different parent companies who had recently made a corporate acquisition. Based on the most salient perceptions derived from the empirical data in relation to the comprehensive theoretical background, this study obtained the following findings. Goodwill can be understood through three central aspects: the underlying objective reality as an intangible asset, the PPA process and the subsequential measurement process. In relation to the two latter aspects could a fourth aspect of managers’ influence be derived. In an overarching integration, these four aspects could be synthesized into a final holistic model of the accounting item goodwill. This model iii ultimately represents a comprehensive understanding of the current accounting item goodwill in financial statements based on the perceptions of acquirers. The findings of this study can be used to bring clarity to the users of financial statements when interpreting goodwill and therefore potentially increase its perceived relevance. Foremost can this study’s holistic model be used as a guideline for future research to further elaborate on the understanding of goodwill and generate improvements to its current accounting design.

Amorteringskravet infördes den första juni 2016 som en åtgärd för att dämpa den oavbrutet ökande skuldsättningen i Sveriges hushåll. Hushållens höga skuldsättning har varit mycket omtalad de senaste åren och lett till diskussioner om huruvida den innebär risk för den makroekonomiska och finansiella stabiliteten. Banker, myndigheter och högskolor verksamma inom bostadsmarknaden har varit både positiva och skeptiska till amorteringskravet som åtgärd för att minska hushållens skuldsättning och menar att konsekvenserna på bostadsmarknaden kan vara både positiva och negativa. Med denna bakgrund är syftet med uppsatsen att studera om och hur amorteringskravet hittills har påverkat bostadspriserna och skuldsättningen för bolån, samt om regleringen har varit den ultimata åtgärden för att uppnå en sundare ekonomi. För att uppnå uppsatsens syfte, har en kvalitativ metod, som innefattat intervjuer och litteraturstudie, samt en kvantitativ studie, som baserats på statistik, valts. Genom intervjuer med aktörer verksamma inom bostadsmarknaden samt statistiska tester, har en slutsats dragits om att amorteringskravet har haft effekt på bostadsmarknaden. Bostadspriserna har fortsatt att öka men i en lägre takt i jämförelse med tidigare år, även skuldsättningens ökningstakt har sjunkit. Amorteringskravet anses endast vara en pedagogisk åtgärd för att införa amorteringsbeteendet hos hushållen snarare än en skuldnedsättande åtgärd. / The first of June 2016, an amortization requirement was introduced as a measure to halt the constantly growing household debt in Sweden. The high household debt has been widely discussed over the past few years which has led to the further discussion regarding whether the growing debt means a risk for the macroeconomic and financial stability. Banks and other actors active in the housing market have been both positive and skeptical of the amortization requirement as a measure to reduce the household dept. The actors argue that the consequences can be both positive and negative. The purpose of this essay is to study if and how the amortization requirement so far has affected the house prices and the debt for mortgage loans, and if it has been the ultimate measure to achieve a more stable economy. To achieve the purpose of the essay two research methods were used: qualitative method, interviews and literature studies, and quantitative method, based on statistics. Results suggest that the amortization requirement has had an impact on the housing market. Housing prices have continued to increase but at a slower pace in comparison with previous years, whilst the debt rate has fallen. The amortization requirement is considered more as an educational measure than a measure that reduces household depts. The conclusion drawn from the results is that the amortization requirement has fulfilled its purpose but whether this measure is the most optimal is hard to say.

Only in 1994, with the Real Plan, the Brazilian economy has balanced with adequate inflation for developing countries. However, external shocks came with the Mexican, Asian and Russian financial crises. After five years of stabilization of inflation, in 1999, Brazil was obliged to abandon one of the pillars of support of the Real Plan: the exchange anchor. Thus, with the adoption of the macroeconomic tripod of "Inflation Targets", "Primary Surplus" and "Floating Exchange", Brazil has resumed GDP growth and controls inflation. At this moment, the Monetary Policy (Contractionary or Expansionist) has gained important role, mainly when the federal government has started to use the SELIC rate as basic interest parameter of the Brazilian economy and one of the strong formal instruments of control of inflation. The objective of this research has known (i) there are influence of Monetary Policy on the EBITDA’s performance of the companies listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange and (ii) how long after the increase or decrease the SELIC Rate (Brazilian Monetary Policy), there is an impact on companies’ EBITDA. This research has been motivated by the relevance and timeliness of that topics because the SELIC rate to control the rise in inflation for reasons exogenous to the companies in general, has influenced the endogenous performance of these same companies, affecting one of the most important economic-financial-accounting: the EBITDA. The methodology has used, which included the development of a statistical and macroeconomic model own, has been regression in the data panel, with a detailed analysis of the 17 segments of companies in which the 314 companies surveyed have distributed. The results have indicated that there is influence of the Monetary Policy in the EBITDA of some sectors of companies with a three-month and a nine-month time span predominance, with relevant statistical significance. It has concluded that the unique and different moments in which the Monetary Policy is used by the monetary authority has influenced the operational performance of the companies, translated by the accounting-financial managerial indicator called EBITDA / O Brasil, desde a sua independência, em 1822, sempre sofreu com elevado endividamento e com períodos de inflação e hiperinflação que, após sucessivos planos econômicos de estabilização, tornavam a economia cada vez mais sombria para as empresas em geral. Somente em 1994, com o Plano Real, a economia brasileira foi equilibrada com uma inflação adequada para países em desenvolvimento. Entretanto, choques externos vieram com as crises financeiras mexicana, asiática e russa. Após cinco anos de estabilização da inflação, em 1999, viu-se obrigado a abandonar um dos pilares de sustentação do Plano Real: a âncora cambial. Com a adoção do tripé macroeconômico de “Metas de Inflação”, “Superávit Primário” e “Câmbio Flutuante”, o Brasil retoma o crescimento do PIB e controla a inflação. Nesse momento, a política monetária (contracionista ou expansionista) ganha importante e fundamental papel, principalmente quando o governo federal passa a usar a taxa no Selic como parâmetro de juros básicos da economia brasileira e um dos fortes instrumentos formais de controle de inflação. Desse modo, o objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar (i) qual a influência da política monetária no desempenho do Ebitda das empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo e (ii) em quanto tempo, após a elevação ou diminuição da Taxa Selic (principal instrumento utilizado na política monetária brasileira) há impacto no Ebitda das empresas. Esta pesquisa foi motivada pela relevância e atualidade dos temas porque o manejo da taxa no Selic, para controlar a subida da inflação por motivos exógenos às empresas em geral, passa a influenciar a performance endógena dessas empresas, afetando um dos pontos econômico-financeiro-contábil mais relevantes: o Ebitda. A metodologia utilizada, que contou com o desenvolvimento de um modelo estatístico e macroeconômico próprio, foi a regressão para dados em painel, com a análise pormenorizada dos 17 segmentos de empresas em que foram distribuídas as 314 empresas pesquisadas. Os resultados obtidos indicam que há influência da política monetária no Ebitda de alguns setores de empresas com lapso temporal predominante de três meses e de nove meses, com significância estatística relevante. Concluiu-se que os singulares e diferentes momentos em que a política monetária é utilizada pela autoridade monetária influencia a performance operacional das empresas, traduzidas pelo indicador contábil-financeiro gerencial chamado Ebitda

With this study the status of “non-fixed indefinite” in the service of the government workers is analyzed. The “no permanent fixed” are those workers who although initially had a temporary contract with an administration, it has become indefinite due to irregularities thereof.
