Den 1 januari 2009 infördes en reviderad version av IASB:s redovisningsstandard IAS 1. Den nya versionen, som gäller för alla noterade bolag i EU, ställer krav på att posterna övrigt totalresultat och totalresultat ska presenteras i, eller i nära anslutning till, resultaträkningen. Innebörden av detta är att ett flertal orealiserade poster ska lyftas fram i resultatdelen. Implementeringen innebar en övergång till så kallad Clean Surplus Accounting. Anhängare till denna redovisningsutformning menar att all information som påverkat det egna kapitalet, bortsett från ägartransaktioner, är av intresse för utomstående och därmed bör påverka resultatmåttet. Att övergå till denna redovisningsmetod skulle leda till en högre värderelevans för finansiella rapporter. Syftet med följande uppsats var att utreda om posterna övrigt totalresultat och totalresultat kan konstateras vara värderelevanta och därmed även utreda om redovisning enligt Clean Surplus har ökat relevansen hos finansiella rapporter. I studien har en kvantitativ ansats tillämpats och undersökningarna har baserats på data från stora företag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen mellan åren 2009 - 2014. Förväntningarna har varit att totalresultat är ett relevant mått, men att det historiska resultatmåttet nettoresultat fortsatt är det mått som fungerar bäst som estimering av framtida ekonomisk prestation. I enlighet med förväntningarna visar studien att övergången till redovisning enligt Clean Surplus inte ökat relevansen hos svenska finansiella rapporter.

Denna studie undersöker förändringen i IAS 1 år 2009 där det bestämdes att totalresultat måste inkluderas i finansiella rapporter, för att redovisningen på så vis ska följa clean surplus accounting och kongruensprincipen. Syftet med studien är att se vilken inverkan förändringen har haft på börsvärdet i svenska börsnoterade bolag, med andra ord dess värderelevans. För att få klarhet kring syftet har regressioner genomförts för att jämföra de olika resultatmåtten under åren 2008 och 2010 utifrån deras samband med totalavkastning. Undersökningens urval har utgått från bolag listade på Stockholmsbörsen (OMXS30), som efter diverse kriterier mynnade ut i 50 bolag. Resultaten från regressionerna tyder på att förändringen har givit önskad effekt och att totalresultat de facto är ett mer lämpligt mått än nettoresultat plus dirty surplus accounting flows när det kommer till att förklara ett bolags börsvärde.

Since FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board, the issuing body of the United States accounting standards) and the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board, the issuing body of IFRS) required the presentation of both P&L and OCI in the Financial Statements, based on the clean surplus theory, this topic drew attention of academics and practioners around the world. Clean surplus supporters argue that the financial statements prepared in accordance with this paradigm provide more useful information to stakeholders than its alternative (dirty surplus approach). The value relevance research of accounting data aims to examine the correlation between accounting information and the information used by investors to make economic decisions. The information can be considered relevant when it influences the decision making of users of financial statements by helping them predict future cash flows and/or confirm previous assumptions. Therefore, based on clean surplus and value relevance theories, the studies provides empirical evidence of clean surplus income measure (CI) value relevance compared to dirty surplus income measure (P&L) by examining the relative and incremental association of P&L, CI, OCI and OCI components with (i) share prices and (ii) share returns. Additionally, the forecasting ability of P&L, CI, OCI and OCI components to predict future OCF (Operating Cash Flows) and future P&L is empirically examined. The present study adopts existing well-established research models on value relevance and forecasting ability of P&L, CI, OCI and OCI components and develops additional statistical models based on those theories and concepts. This dissertation analyzes hand-collected data for a sample of Brazilian companies listed on BMF&BOVESPA and comprises the period from 2010 to 2015. The results indicate that P&L is more value relevant than CI, even though CI provide value relevant information. However, the CI coefficient is lower than P&L coefficient. Although OCI does not provide incremental value relevant information, OCI components add incremental value relevant information compared to standalone P&L, especially adjustments in fair value of available-for-sale financial instruments, gains and losses from translating the financial statements of a foreign operation and adjustments in fair value of cash flow hedging instruments. The present dissertation provided additional insight to the ongoing discussion on value relevance of P&L, CI, OCI and OCI components in the research community, as well as on the standard setter level and contributed to fill, even partially, the lack of research on the issue in the Brazil.

The principal goal of this research study was to critically evaluate the current accounting treatment of purchased goodwill in terms of a theoretical framework established, including an evaluation of the true nature of goodwill. The main conclusion of this study is that goodwill is an intangible asset representing various intangible factors contributing to the enterprise's earning capacity and providing returns in excess of a normal return on assets employed for which an acquiring enterprise is willing to pay an amount in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The cost of purchased goodwill is measured as the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired after ensuring that all assets, tangible and intangible, had been properly identified. Purchased goodwill should be amortised over the estimated period that the enterprise is expected to benefit from the acquisition of the goodwill. / Financial Accounting / M. Com.
