Neste sentido, identificou-se a participação de variados agentes mundiais, além de se verificar a relação entre as características das sugestões enviadas e sua aceitação pelo órgão responsável. Esta pesquisa teve como base teórica e conceitual a Teoria Tridimensional do Direito, desenvolvida por Miguel Reale, onde fato, valor e norma estão presentes e se relacionam de forma constante, dialética e complementar, ao longo do processo normativo e no caso em tela, a normatização contábil. Os fatos representam situações presentes no contexto de cada participante e que são, por seu turno, orientadas, dentre outros fatores, por ideologias e princípios, que são os valores. Já a norma é fruto da relação entre fatos e valores e é aqui representada pelas IPSASs. Como abordagem metodológica utilizou-se a pesquisa documental, a análise de conteúdo e análise quantitativa, por meio do teste Qui-quadrado e da interpretação dos resíduos padronizados. Da amostra composta por 123 cartas, foram identificadas 59 agentes de diversos países, sendo, destes, 76% não pertencentes ao corpo de membros da IFAC. Ainda, as instituições foram distribuídas em 7 diferentes classes, como órgãos profissionais, organismos regionais de normalização, órgãos governamentais, dentre outras. Sobre o nível de aceitação das contribuições enviadas, contou-se 926 sugestões e destas, 322 de alguma forma foram consideradas pela IFAC. Ademais, notou-se a expressiva participação da Oceania com 29,5% do total de contribuições e a participação do Accounting Standards Board (África do Sul) e dos australianos Heads of Treasuries Accounting and Reporting Advisory Committee (HoTARAC) e Australian Accounting Standards Board, sendo ambas as instituições que mais forneceram contribuições. Além disto, pela abordagem quantitativa foram achadas evidências de maior associação entre as sugestões de não membros e aceitação pela IFAC. Também foi verificada uma forte ligação entre o acatamento e as contribuições do tipo Forma. Ainda, para a totalidade da amostra, não foi comprovada a dependência entre o nível de aceitação e o fato dos itens serem ou não convergentes às normas emitidas pelo IASB. Entretanto, nos testes para cada pronunciamento foram encontradas, em alguns casos, evidências de associação para ambas as situações: aproximação e distanciamento das normas privadas, de acordo com a sub amostra analisada. / It was sought in this study to investigate how the public consultation process can influence the delimitation of the International Public Accounting Standards (IPSAS) issued by IFAC. Thus, it was possible to identify the participation of several worldwide agents, in addition to verify the link between the characteristics of suggestions submitted and its acceptance by the responsible agency. This research was based on theoretical conceptual the Tridimensional Theory of Law, developed by Miguel Reale, wherein fact, value and norm are present and are related consistently, dialectical and complementary throughout the regulatory process, in the case in question, the accounting standardization. The facts represent present situations in the context of each participant, which are, in its turn, oriented, among other factors, by ideologies and principles, which are the values. Already the norm is the result of the relation between facts and values and is represented here by the IPSAS. As a methodological approach, resorted to documental research, to the content analysis and to the quantitative analysis through the Chi-square test and the interpretation of standardized residuals. From the sample, composed by suggestions made in 123 letters, was identified 59 agents from many countries, and 76% were not owned by the IFAC members. Also, the institutions occurred in seven different grades, such as professional institutions, regional standardization bodies, government agencies. On the acceptance level of the submitted contributions, were counted 926 suggestions, of which 322 somehow, the IFAC held. Moreover, there was an expressive participation from Oceania with 29.5% of the contributions total and participation of the Accounting Standards Board (South Africa) and the Australian Heads of Treasuries Accounting and Reporting Advisory Committee (HoTARAC) and Australian Accounting Standards Board, and both institutions that most delivered contributions. Additionally, the quantitative approach, succeeded evidence of a greater association between the suggestions of non-members and acceptance by the IFAC. There was also a strong link between compliance and the contributions of type Form. Still, for the entire sample, there was no evidence of dependence between the level of acceptance and the fact that the items whether they are converging standards issued by the IASB. However, the tests for each statement occurred, in some cases, evidence of association for both situations: approach and distancing of private standards, according to the sub-sample analyzed.

This thesis is focused on the issue of valuation and reporting heritage assets. At first, there is an effort to define the term heritage assets. Categorization of these items is based on World Heritage List, which is compiled by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

No. of bitstreams: 1 Artur Albino Barboza_.pdf: 1717218 bytes, checksum: 0efef14719596a1c5a2bd2e9379745ae (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-28 / Nenhuma / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal avaliar a percepção dos integrantes das Inspetorias de Contabilidade e Finanças do Exército (ICFEx) sobre convergência da contabilidade pública brasileira às International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), no âmbito da Força Terrestre. Utiliza-se como suporte a teoria institucional para estudar as alterações ocorridas neste novo padrão contábil. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo, uma amostra de 71 militares respondeu uma survey com quatro blocos de questões pautados nos seguintes aspectos: Bloco I - interpretação das normas; Bloco II - percepção das normas; Bloco III - custo x benefícios da implantação das IPSAS; e o Bloco IV - responsabilidade educativa. A partir destes blocos, são desenvolvidas as hipóteses de pesquisa que foram submetidas ao teste de diferença de média (t-student) para solução dos objetivos propostos. As análises quantitativa e qualitativa dos dados coletados permitiram chegar aos resultados que no bloco I (t-student 19,7453; p-valor 0,0000), rejeitando a hipótese nula a uma significância de 1%; o Bloco II apresentou o resultado do teste t-student 17,0015 e p-valor 0,0000, levando para a rejeição da hipótese nula a uma significância de 1%; o Bloco III (t-student 14,5517; p-valor 0,0000) também confirmam a rejeição da hipótese nula a uma significância de 1%; e, por fim, no Bloco IV (t-student 7,0576; p-valor 0,0000) não se rejeita a hipótese alternativa, a uma significância de 1%. Desta forma, conclui-se que a implantação das IPSAS na contabilidade pública brasileira, em especial no Exército Brasileiro, está sendo vantajosa e que esse processo de convergência está possibilitando ao Brasil percorrer um importante caminho na busca de uma legitimidade internacional. / This research has as main objective to evaluate the perception of the members of the Provinces of Accounting and Finance of the Army (ICFEx) on convergence of the Brazilian public accounting to the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), within the scope of the Land Force. Institutional theory is used to support the changes in this new accounting standard. For the development of the study, a sample of 71 military personnel answered a survey with four blocks of questions based on the following aspects: Block I - interpretation of the norms; Block II - perception of norms; Block III - cost x benefits of IPSAS implementation; And Block IV - educational responsibility. From these blocks, the research hypotheses were developed that were submitted to the test of mean difference (t-student) to solve the proposed objectives. The quantitative and qualitative analyzes of the collected data allowed to reach the results that in block I (t-student 19.7453; p-value 0.0000), rejecting the null hypothesis at a significance of 1%; Block II presented the t-student test result 17.0015 and p-value 0.0000, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis at a significance of 1%; Block III (t-student 14,5517; p-value 0.0000) also confirm the rejection of the null hypothesis at a significance of 1%; And, finally, in Block IV (t-student 7.0576; p-value 0.0000), the alternative hypothesis is not rejected at a significance of 1%. In this way, it is concluded that the implementation of IPSAS in Brazilian public accounting, especially in the Brazilian Army, is being advantageous and that this process of convergence is enabling Brazil to take an important path in the search for international legitimacy.
