The study aims to establish an integrated generic investigation process that could be utilised by Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa. Secondly, it aims to determine which investigation processes are currently being utilised in South African forensics practices. An overview is given of the international utilised processes and a basic framework was developed, presented and tested by means of questionnaires to members of the Institute of Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa. The development of an investigation process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa could be utilised by the Institute of Commercial Forensic Practitioners to provide a governance structure for the Institute that would enhance the quality of forensic investigations and contribute to the successful investigation and prosecution of commercial crime in South Africa. To achieve the study objective, an empirical study was conducted among current members of the Institute of Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa through the circulation of questionnaires via their website. These results were interpreted, taking cognisance of international practices identified in the literature review. A formalised investigation process was developed and suggested to the Institute of Commercial Forensic Practitioners. Statisticians were involved during the process of designing the questionnaires, and analysing and interpreting the results. The research dealt with a generic investigation process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners. It also dealt with its implementation and investigative performance in South African practices. In this study, an overview of the investigation process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa was discussed. The research also analysed the following: * The time period in which organisations implemented the Commercial Forensic Practitioners Process; * The effect of the Commercial Forensic Practitioners Process on investigative performance; and * The integration of the Commercial Forensic Practitioner's process into the budgeting process. The findings of the study revealed the following: * Each of the phases of the Commercial Forensic Practitioners Process is as important as the others in matters that will be presented before court. * An investigation should only be performed if it can be performed properly and in a manner that provides clarity and value to the engagement and its objectives. For this purpose, a Commercial Forensic Practitioner should only accept an assignment if free of conflicts and any independence issues. It is imperative for Commercial Forensic Practitioners to adequately assess not only their relationship to the client and the particular engagement, but also their relationship to any opposing party. This assessment should be done in the context of all other work of the practice, not only that work that is performed by the particular Commercial Forensic Practitioner and direct colleagues. * The Commercial Forensic Practitioner must design, implement and use a robust client and engagement acceptance process that is documented, standardised and, where relevant, agreed with the client. * The role of a Commercial Forensic Practitioner in an investigation process is, therefore, to gather evidence, interrogate and examine the financial evidence, develop computer applications that help in analysing and presenting the evidence, putting forward all the findings in the form of reports, exhibits and documents, and finally taking part in civil actions or litigation as an expert witness, and testifying to the court and presenting all the evidence obtained through documentation or visual aids. It is therefore of the essence that a Commercial Forensic Practitioner be well versed in financial issues and legal concepts and proceedings. * The study found that the majority of respondents (69.3%) were male, while only 30.7% were female. The majority of Commercial Forensic Practitioners fall within two age categories, namely, 35 to 44 and 45 to 54 years. These age categories fall into the productive stage of a working career in the human life-cycle. It is furthermore inferred that the level of experience is of importance, as the majority of participants were well experienced, mostly with at least ten years‟ experience. * A total of 22.7% of respondents indicated that they do not use a formalised investigation process. The majority of respondents (77.3%) thus make use of a formalised investigation process. * The study found that formalised investigation processes are not implemented for the following reasons: -- Managerial and governance processes within practices were sufficient to address the risks posed (41.2%); -- Commercial Forensic Practitioners do not have a formalised investigation process at their disposal (35.3%); -- Commercial Forensic Practitioners are not aware of a formalised investigation process being utilised in industry that could be used (23.5%); and -- The implementation of a formalised investigation process proved too difficult (23.5%). * The most important reasons for implementing a formalised investigation process included reputational risks and quality control of investigative work. It was notable that the study revealed that the industry does not require practitioners to follow any procedures. * It is noteworthy that practitioners did not regard monitoring and management review of compliance with the provisions of their formalised investigation process as an important requirement. The study revealed that the majority of Commercial Forensic Practitioners would measure compliance as an occasional requirement (33.3%); only 23.3% placed compliance as an agenda item for each monthly management meeting and 16.7% as a quarterly agenda item. * The majority (56.3%) of practitioners recognised that integration of a formalised process with the budgeting process could enhance productivity and financial benefits. * The majority of respondents (88.1%) were of the view that there was an improvement in financial performance and/or productivity after the implementation of the formalised investigation process. * 62% of respondents were of the view that there was a significant improvement in financial performance and productivity since the implementation of the formalised investigation process. This finding is significant, as it proves that a formalised process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa can have a positive effect on a practise‟s financial performance. The suggested sub-processes, as described, are accepted by the respondents, namely: * Client acceptance, service considerations, risk management procedures, independence and engagement agreements; * Planning and strategic objectives of an engagement, including documented investigative plan incorporating the relevant disciplines (accounting, law, IT, investigative and risk management skills); * Gathering information and evidence, documenting evidence in an evidence file or system and safeguarding evidence as important; * Interviewing, using best practice interviewing skills, by planning the interview to achieve strategic objectives, recording the interview and using technology; * Analysis and verification of evidence; * Quality management, with all reported findings included in referenced working papers supported by documented physical evidence; and * Reporting on findings in a detailed forensic report, clearly and concisely reflecting on the sequence of events, supported by financial information and documents, in a format that could be used in disciplinary enquiries and/or proceedings in civil and criminal courts. These findings fulfil the objective of the study, which was to establish an integrated generic investigation process that could be utilised by Commercial Forensic Practitioners in South Africa and secondly to determine which investigation processes are currently being utilised in South African forensics practices. It was clarified whether the implementation of a formalised process can lead to an improvement in financial performance and what the result of the integration of a formalised process into a practise‟s budgeting process is. It was established that there is indeed a relationship between the integration of the formalised process into the budgeting process and the improved financial performance of a practise. The findings of this study have significant implications for the management of South African Commercial Forensic Practitioner practices. Based on the study findings, the following general and specific recommendations can be made: * The investigation process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners should be fully integrated with the budgeting process of the practise, as this will ensure improved investigative performance by the business; and * Education and research on the investigation process for Commercial Forensic Practitioners should be conducted by the management of a practice before implementing such a process. / MCom (Forensic Accountancy), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Thesis (MAcc (Accountancy))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The fact that investors increasingly invest in companies from another country than the investor himself and the consequential globalisation of capital markets, resulted in the European Parliament and Council (EP) accepting Regulation No. 1606/2002 during 2002. The consequence of the regulation was that uniform accounting standards had to be implemented throughout the European Union (EU). The accounting standards that were accepted, are the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (previously known as International Accounting Standards (IAS)). The regulation further determined that the effective date of this required compliance with IFRS was 1 January 2005. At the time when the regulation was accepted, most companies that were listed on the JSE Securities Exchange of South Africa (JSE) still prepared their financial statements in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (South African SGAAP). The implication of the acceptance of the regulation by the EP was that in the event that a company was not only listed on the JSE but also on a stock exchange in the EU, the financial statements of that company would have to be prepared in accordance with IFRS. In this study two groups of companies were selected for evaluation. The one group consists of companies with a primary listing on the JSE and a secondary listing in the EU (first group) and the other group has a primary listing in the United Kingdom (UK) and thus the EU, with a secondary listing on the JSE (second group). The purpose of the study is to identify the implications of the acceptance of abovementioned regulation on the financial reporting of the selected companies. Firstly, a study was made of the differences between the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the United Kingdom (UK GAAP) and IFRS. The reason for this largely relates to the fact that there are still substantial differences between these two sets of accounting standards. No such study was conducted in respect of differences between South African SGAAP and IFRS as South African SGAAP was completely replaced by IFRS during 2004 and hence no differences exist any more. The only exception relates to the 500 series of standards that are unique to South Africa. There are, however, only two issued standards in this series and hence no further attention was paid to that. Hereafter the 2002 financial statements of all the selected companies were evaluated by measuring it against an IFRS disclosure checklist for 2002. The purpose was to identify the extent to which the selected companies comply with IFRS by focusing on the areas with regards to which they do not comply with IFRS. It was found that the companies of the first group largely fail to comply with IFRS in respect of matters of disclosure, whilst the second group of companies sometimes also, in their application of recognition requirements and measurement guidelines, used different practices to those suggested by IFRS. This was largely attributable to the fact that there are substantial differences between UK GAAP and IFRS, whilst South African SGAAP and IFRS already were very similar until recently. Consequently, questionnaires were sent to interested selected companies in which they could give feedback on their level of awareness and perceptions of the required transition to IFRS by 2005 as well as the procedures that they have followed or will follow in their process of transition to IFRS. Fourthly the 2003 financial reports of the selected companies were evaluated for compliance with IFRS by measuring it against the IFRS disclosure checklist that would be applicable on their 2004 financial periods. This was done in order to determine whether the selected companies showed any progress in their level of compliance with IFRS. This process also identified which IFRS, which were issued during 2003/2004, will be applicable on the 2004 or later financial periods of the selected companies, as these are further areas that will demand the attention of the selected companies in their process of becoming IFRS compliant. It was found that all selected companies showed rather little progress in their level of IFRS compliance. It is however concerning that even though South African SGAAP were previously very narrowly aligned with IFRS, the companies of the first group still fail to comply with fairly simple disclosure requirements. It would thus appear that they do not take the process of transition to IFRS serious enough. The fact that the second group of companies also did not make much progress can still be justified by the fact that UK GAAP were not aligned closer to IFRS during 2003 and most of the selected companies were still busy with the planning process for the transition to IFRS. It is expected that the financial statements of these companies will display substantial progress in their 2004 financial periods. Finally the compliance mechanisms were studied in order to determine which processes are in place to ensure that companies will indeed comply with IFRS. This study was done in respect of the EU, the UK and South Africa. All three these regions either already have or will have bodies in the near future that will have the task of evaluating the financial statements of listed companies for IFRS compliance. The conclusion is however that as a result of the negative consequences of noncompliance with IFRS sufficient factors do exist that will motivate companies to fully comply with IFRS. In addition, the listing requirements of the JSE has changed and financial reporting in accordance with IFRS is now a requirement.

The thesis is focused on differences of Czech accounting legislation and International Financial Reporting Standards. The reason of selection the theme is a continual confrontation between these two concepts, that I meet since study period till current practise. In the first phase of this work is my attempt to describe the structure of creation and functioning of the rules. The next phase of the thesis reveals the use of IFRS in the Czech Republic before 1 January 2011.Subsequently describes an amendment to the Accounting Act, which since January 2011, extends the application of IFRS. Following the changes is an attempt to describe an approach to the financial statements under IFRS. This also includes the anticipated development of the rules in the future. Thesis should give a comprehensive view on the reporting of financial information under IFRS.

Diploma paper deals with questions of the tangible assets. The first chapter contains determination of the tangible assets and its measurement in term of generally accepted acccounting principles and analyses the depreciation policies. The second chapter focus on the tangible assets in term of International financial reporting standards (IAS/IFRS) especially according to IAS 16 Property, plants and equipment and IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. The third chapter defines the tangible assets according to Czech legislation. Part of my paper consists of a questionnaire focused on depreciation intangible and tangible assets in Czech Republic and using taxes depreciation in the accounting.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Osvaldo Alves Soares.pdf: 1249587 bytes, checksum: 79057d421bd2f9c3d6733dd6f37c6251 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-16 / Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo - PUCSP / The capital market has developed a variety of instruments to supply companies with financial resources; however, it has been proved difficult to distinguish them as equity or liability instruments. Known as financial instruments, they are contracts that generate financial asset to a company and financial liability or equity to another. Among such instruments are the so-called compound instruments, such as the convertible bonds, which combine an equity component to a liability component. The present study aims at answering the following research question: what is the degree of adherence of Brazilian public companies to the IFRS rules in their recognition of convertible bonds issued in the period between 2009 and 2017? To answer this question the work is divided into three chapters dedicated to presenting, respectively, the theoretical framework of the study, the methodological procedures followed, and the analysis and interpretation of the data collected. The work follows a qualitative approach, and is both exploratory and descriptive in nature. Methodological procedures include three main stages: analysis of initial recognition of convertible bonds; elaboration of a checklist of the recognition forms used; and the evaluation of the companies’s degree of adherence to the IFRS norms. Six convertible bond issues were identified, and the companies differed in their way of recognizing the bonds. Only one of the issuers correctly identified the financial instrument issued, and none of them recognized it in accordance with the IFRS norms or CVM determinations. It can be concluded that the degree of adherence of companies to the IFRS norms in the recognition of convertible bonds was very low. Despite the fact IFRS set accounting rules for the classification and measurement of compound financial instruments, and despite CVM’s incisive action towards the observation of such rules, the analysis carried out in this work revealed that most of the companies, five out of six, completely ignored the rules in their accounting practices, choosing only to recognize the issuance of equity or liability instruments without complying with measurement and recognition requirements / O mercado financeiro desenvolveu vários instrumentos para prover recursos às companhias, instrumentos esses que tornaram indistinguível a fronteira entre passivo e patrimônio. Denominados instrumentos financeiros, são contratos que geram ativos financeiros para uma entidade e passivos financeiros ou instrumentos patrimoniais para outra. Um desses são os instrumentos compostos, como debêntures conversíveis, com componentes de passivo e de patrimônio líquido. Neste estudo formulou-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: qual foi o nível de aderência das sociedades por ações às normas IFRS no reconhecimento de debêntures conversíveis, emitidas no período 2009 a 2017? A resposta é apresentada em três capítulos, denominados fundamentação teórica, metodologia de pesquisa e análise dos resultados da pesquisa. A pesquisa adotou o enfoque qualitativo com alcance exploratório e descritivo. A metodologia desenvolveu-se em três estágios: análise do reconhecimento inicial das debêntures, elaboração do roteiro de análise das formas de reconhecimento utilizadas, e avaliação da aderência do reconhecimento inicial às normas IFRS. Identificou-se seis emissões a serem avaliadas e nelas as formas de reconhecimento foram todas diferentes umas das outras. Avaliou-se que apenas uma emissora identificou corretamente o instrumento financeiro emitido mas nenhuma o reconheceu em conformidade às normas IFRS e às determinações da CVM. Conclui-se que foi muito baixo o nível de aderência às normas IFRS no reconhecimento inicial de debêntures conversíveis. A despeito de o IFRS estabelecer normas específicas para o reconhecimento inicial de instrumentos financeiros compostos, e apesar da atuação incisiva da CVM para que essas normas sejam observadas, a análise realizada mostrou que a maioria, cinco em seis companhias, nem tentou aplicar a norma na sua contabilização, preferindo apenas reconhecer a emissão totalmente como instrumento patrimonial ou como passivo, sem observar as exigências de mensuração e reconhecimento separados de cada componente do instrumento

It has known as international accounting standards, also called IFRS - (International Financial Reporting Standards). In Brazil, that deployment has begun in 2007, with the publication of specific law called “Brazilian Accounting Harmonization with International Financial Reporting Standards”, which has changed the structure that law have used by companies and stock market's corporations. The first studies have shown greater transparency and quality of financial statements, since it had adhered to fair value accounting to set accountability values. This research has been motivated by the topicality and importance of the issue harmonization of IFRS around the world and value-based on accounting management like best practices. The first tested hypotheses have been shown (i) the adoption of IFRS haven’t affected the book value substantially and the Market Value of Companies (VME). In addition, (ii) there hasn’t changed significant statistically at Free Cash Flow (FCF) and on EBITDA’s companies that have been adopted IFRS rules. This study has conducted with the companies listed on Brazilian stock markets (also called BM&FBOVESPA), taking as sample 123 companies that have the basic requirements for research during the years 2004-2014, totaling 1,353 observations. The ANOVA test and regression models for panel data have been used. The main findings in the survey have shown that the VPC and FCL have been affected by the implementation of IFRS and the VME. On the other hand, EBITDA haven’t suffered impacts in isolation from the international standard, and that the distance between the VME and VPC have reduced with the implementation of IFRS. This study has conducted with the companies listed on the Brazilian stock market. It has gotten 123 companies sample that have basic requirements for research during the years 2004-2014, totaling 1,353 observations. It has used ANOVA test regression model and data panel statistics way. The main conclusions in the survey have shown equity value of companies and EVA indicator; thus, FCF have affected by the implementation of IFRS. On the other hand, MV, MVA® and EBITDA haven’t impacted isolation from the international standard. Finally, the distance between the MV and equity value of companies have reduced with the implementation of IFRS / O cenário econômico, após diversas mudanças e impactos globais, com advento da tecnologia e ampliação de comunicação, exige atualmente das empresas uma linguagem financeira universal, conhecida como normas internacionais de contabilidade, ou melhor, o padrão IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards. No Brasil, essa implantação se iniciou no ano de 2007, com a divulgação da lei nº 11.638, que alterou a estrutura da Lei das Sociedades por Ações. Os primeiros estudos realizados apontaram maior transparência e qualidade nas demonstrações contábeis, uma vez que aderiram o valor justo para definir valores contábeis. Esta pesquisa foi motivada devido à atualidade do tema, relevância, harmonização do IFRS e a gestão contábil baseada em valor. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar, por meio de métricas de avaliação de empresa, se o valor das companhias não financeiras foi afetado com a convergência da adoção das práticas internacionais de contabilidade. As primeiras hipóteses testadas são (i) a adoção ao IFRS não alterou substancialmente o valor patrimonial (VPC) e o valor de mercado das empresas (VME) e (ii) não ocorreu alteração estatisticamente significativa ao Fluxo de Caixa Livre (FCL) e Ebitda das empresas com a adoção ao IFRS. Este estudo foi realizado com as empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa, tomando como amostra 123 empresas, que atendiam os requisitos básicos para a pesquisa, durante os anos de 2004 a 2014, totalizando 1.353 observações. Foram utilizados testes Anova e testes modelos de regressão em painel de dados. Os principais resultados encontrados com a pesquisa foram que o VPC e FCL sofreram impacto com a implantação da norma internacional de contabilidade, e que o VME e Ebitda não sofreram impactos isoladamente da norma internacional, e que a distância entre o VME e VPC foi reduzida com a implantação do IFRS

With the development of international accounting in 2006 starts the process of convergence of accounting to international standards of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), with mandatory disclosure of financial statements according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from 2009 on, including considering the loss calculation criteria for impairment correspond to the provisioning criteria for claims based on incurred losses. This study aims to determine whether there is a significant difference, from a quantitative point of view, in the outcome of the Brazilian financial institutions, between the allowance for loan losses (PCLD) proposed by COSIF and international standards IFRS, in order to answer the research problem to check whether the impairment of financial assets, according to IFRS standards is proportionately less than the allowance for loan losses established by COSIF, impacting the result, based on the hypothesis that the impairment of financial assets, proportionally, generates less impact on the results of financial institutions in Brazil in demonstrations compliance IFRS standards (H1) and the Allowance generates greater impact on the results in the financial statements in accordance the rules of COSIF (H2), and also that the changes proposed by IFRS 9 reduce the difference in the impact of the results (H3). Thus, it was selected as sample the six largest financial institutions active in December 2015, which together amounted to 77.61% of total assets of the institutions, given to empirical tests in the consolidated statements of Brazilian COSIF standards and the statements in the standards international IFRS between the years 2010 and 2015, analyzing the proportional amounts of allowance for loan losses provision and impairment of financial assets in relation to their total revenue by applying descriptive statistics - standard deviation, variance, mean, median, maximum and minimum. Concluding that the recognition of the impairment of financial assets in relation to allowance is proportionally lower in the statements prepared in accordance with IFRS than in the statements with recognition from the COSIF standards and there was the tendency of IFRS 9, approach to standards regulations established by COSIF in Brazil with the applicability from 2018, confirming the hypothesis of the research / A regulamentação da contabilidade das instituições financeiras, no Brasil está sob responsabilidade do Conselho Monetário Nacional – CMN e do Banco Central do Brasil, que criaram o Plano Contábil das Instituições do Sistema Financeiro Nacional – COSIF com diretrizes contábeis, inclusive relacionadas à provisão para crédito de liquidação duvidosa – PCLD que tem a função de contábil de registrar as perdas futuras referentes a operações presentes, pois o recebimento de um direito não é líquido, uma vez que a empresa está sujeita ao risco de crédito. Com o desenvolvimento da contabilidade internacional em 2006 inicia o processo de convergência da contabilidade aos padrões internacionais do International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) e International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), com publicação obrigatória das demonstrações nos padrões do IFRS a partir de 2009, inclusive considerando os critérios de apuração da perda por Impairment correspondem aos critérios de provisionamento para créditos com base em perdas incorridas. Este estudo tem o objetivo de verificar se há diferença significativa, do ponto de vista quantitativo, no resultado das instituições financeiras brasileiras, entre a PCLD proposta pelo COSIF e as normas internacionais IFRS, com a finalidade de responder o problema de pesquisa de verificar se o Impairment de ativos financeiros, segundo as normas do IFRS é proporcionalmente menor que a PCLD estabelecida pelo COSIF, impactando no resultado, partindo das hipóteses que, o Impairment de ativos financeiros, proporcionalmente, gera menor impacto no resultado das instituições financeiras no Brasil nas demonstrações em conformidade as normas do IFRS (H1) e que a PCLD gera maior impacto no resultado nas demonstrações em conformidade as normas do COSIF (H2), e ainda, que as mudanças propostas pelo IFRS 9 diminuem a diferença no impacto do resultado (H3). Para tanto, foi selecionada como amostra as seis maiores instituições financeiras em ativos em 12/2015, que juntas somavam 77,61 % do ativo total das instituições, considerando para os testes empíricos as demonstrações consolidadas nos padrões brasileiros do COSIF e as demonstrações nos padrões internacionais do IFRS entre os anos de 2010 e 2015, analisando os valores proporcionais de provisão de PCLD e de Impairment de ativos financeiros em relação as respectivas receitas totais, aplicando as estatísticas descritivas– desvio padrão, variância, média, mediana, máximo e mínimo. Concluindo que o reconhecimento do Impairment de ativos financeiros em relação à PCLD é proporcionalmente menor nas demonstrações elaboradas com base nas IFRS, do que nas demonstrações com reconhecimento a partir das normas do Cosif e verificou-se a tendência do IFRS 9, se aproximar aos padrões normativos estabelecido pelo COSIF no Brasil com a aplicabilidade a partir de 2018, confirmando as hipóteses da pesquisa

The Industrial Revolution, the Great War, and the Crisis of 1929 brought needs for accounting doctrines and standards improvement. In a recent period, economy Globalization forced Accounting to make international harmonization one hundred and fifty countries in the world, including Brazil norms and accounting principles, and almost all of them, chose IFRS as their accounting doctrine. From this perspective the changes in the Theory of Accounting can influence the whole study of Accounting. The main objective of this research is to identify the economic factors and the regulatory instruments that motivated the changes in Accounting Thinking in Brazil. The descriptive qualitative research method, on historical evolution, bibliographical, supported in representative literature and regulatory instruments pertinent to the regulation of the object of the study was used. The results proved that the normative instruments enforce the necessary procedures for the perfect harmony between company, investors and government, according to the economic necessity of the time. The basic conceptual structure changed significantly with the extinction of important terms such as: accounting principles, postulates and conventions, and new terminologies emerged as: qualitative characteristic, underlying premise, basic assumption / A Contabilidade vem evoluindo ao longo do tempo com as Escolas Internacionais, principalmente a Italiana e a Americana. A Revolução Industrial, a Grande Guerra e a Crise de 1929 trouxeram novas necessidades de aperfeiçoamento às doutrinas e padrões contábeis. Num período mais recente, a Globalização da Economia forçou a Contabilidade para a harmonização internacional das normas e dos princípios contábeis e quase cento e cinquenta países no mundo, inclusive o Brasil, escolheram as normas IFRS como sua doutrina contábil. Nessa perspectiva as mudanças na Teoria da Contabilidade poderá influenciar todo o estudo da Contabilidade. O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa é identificar os fatores econômicos e os instrumentos regulatórios que motivaram as mudanças no Pensamento Contábil no Brasil. Foi utilizado o método de pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, sobre evolução histórica, bibliográfica, apoiada em literatura representativa e instrumentos regulatórios pertinentes a regulamentação do objeto do estudo. Os resultados comprovaram que os instrumentos normativos fazem cumprir os procedimentos necessários para a perfeita harmonia entre empresa, investidores e governo, de acordo com a necessidade econômica da época. A estrutura conceitual básica sofreu significativa alteração com a extinção de termos importantes como: princípios de contabilidade, postulados e convenções e surgiram novas terminologias como: característica qualitativa, premissa subjacente, pressuposto básico

The information symmetry lack -- where the same transaction could generate different information, depending on the country of origin -- undermined investors‟ and creditors‟ decisions, as there was nothing standards for decision making. In order to harmonize the International Accounting Practices, in 2000 the International Organization of Securities Commission (IOSCO) recommended that the capital market regulators in each country authorized multinational companies to submit their financial statements according to the International Accounting Standards. The International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) was responsible for the working up of international standards, that is, for the worldwide accepted Accounting Standard that is already in convergence process in more than 100 countries. In Brazil, the Law Amendment nº 6.404/76 led to the Law nº 11.638/07, bringing significant implications to companies required to follow the Law S/A. Among them, the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) should issue its norms according to the International Accounting Standards. Consequently, the Brazilian Accounting Standards undergone a gradual process of converging its accounting standards to the International Accounting Standards by means of a process coordinated by the Committee of Accounting Pronouncements (CPC). In 2009, the Technical Pronouncement PME - Accounting for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises - was approved by the CPC. This study aims at contributing to the preparation of small and medium-sized enterprises for meeting the market demands, thus making them more competitive. The objective is to identify the main changes of accounting information aligned with international standards. The study was carried out through a literature review applicable to the International Accounting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The final remarks show that the convergence process brings challenges, as well as that one can have a higher quality and reliability by applying the standard accounting information / O impacto da globalização da economia gerou a necessidade de implantar modelos contábeis que padronizassem as demonstrações para que elas fossem compreendidas e utilizadas por diferentes usuários em diversos lugares do mundo. A falta de simetria nas informações, onde uma mesma transação poderia gerar informações diferentes, dependendo do seu país de origem, prejudicava as decisões de investidores e credores, visto que não havia padrões para tomada de decisão. Visando harmonizar as práticas contábeis internacionais, a International Organization of Securities Comission (IOSCO), no ano de 2000, recomendou que os órgãos reguladores de mercado de capitais, em cada pais, autorizassem as sociedades multinacionais a apresentar as suas demonstrações financeiras de acordo com as normas internacionais de contabilidade. O Internacional Accounting Standard Board (IASB) ficou responsável pela elaboração de normas internacionais, ou seja o padrão único de contabilidade aceito mundialmente, que já esta em processo de convergência em mais de 100 países. No Brasil, a alteração da Lei nº. 6.404/76 deu origem à Lei nº. 11.638/07, que trouxe implicações significativas para as empresas, obrigadas a seguir a Lei da S/A, entre elas, que a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) deveria expedir suas normas de acordo com os padrões internacionais de contabilidade, e gradativamente as normas contábeis brasileiras convergiram para as normas internacionais, por meio de um processo coordenado pelo Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis (CPC). Em 2009, foi aprovado pelo CPC o Pronunciamento Técnico PME Contabilidade para Pequenas e Medias Empresas. Este trabalho busca contribuir para que as empresas de pequeno e médio porte se preparem para as exigências do mercado, tornando-as mais competitivas. O objetivo é verificar as principais mudanças trazidas nas informações contábeis alinhadas às normas internacionais. O estudo se dá por meio de revisão bibliográfica aplicável a norma internacional de contabilidade para Pequenas e Médias Empresas. Nas considerações finais é possível verificar que o processo de convergência traz desafios e, ao adotar as normas, o padrão de informações contábeis tem-se maior qualidade, aumentando a confiabilidade

In order to accomplish that, an event study based on the methodology of Mackinlay (1997) was conducted, in which the studied event was the publication of the accounting and financial statements of 13 companies in the electrical energy sector throughout the period from 2007 to 2011, amounting to 65 events which were part of the initial sample. The final studied sample, after deleting events not eligible for analysis, resulted in 62 events, which were also segregated by year 2007-2008 (BR-GAAP); 2009-2011 (IFRS-GAAP) and, later, by portfolio of "Good News" and "Bad News" within the periods considered in relation to BR-GAAP and IFRS-GAAP. The results indicated that the earning announcements of the companies in the electric energy sector, throughout the period from 2007 to 2011, generated abnormal returns around the date of the event in relation to stocks of the sample. With regard to the segregation by portfolios of "Good News" and "Bad News", only the first led to an early reaction of the market and with statistical significance. Finally, unlike what was expected, it was not possible to affirm that the abnormal returns of the IFRS-GAAP sample were greater than the BRGAAP sample, but on the contrary, the BR GAAP sample returns, around the date of the event, were higher and with greater statistical relevance than the IFRS-GAAP samples / O presente trabalho apresentou dois principais objetivos: verificar se a divulgação das demonstrações contábeis e financeiras anuais das empresas do setor elétrico, no período em análise, gerou retornos anormais das ações integrantes da amostra, bem como, avaliar se a divulgação nos padrões internacionais de contabilidade (IFRS-GAAP), a partir de 2009, provocou retornos anormais mais significativos e relevantes estatisticamente do que a divulgação nos padrões brasileiros (BR-GAAP). Para tanto foi realizado um estudo de eventos, com base na metodologia de Mackinlay (1997), sendo o evento estudado a publicação das demonstrações contábeis e financeiras de 13 empresas do setor de energia elétrica no período de 2007 a 2011, totalizando 65 eventos componentes da amostra inicial. A amostra final estudada, após a exclusão de eventos não qualificados para análise, resultou em 62 eventos, os quais ainda foram segregados por ano 2007-2008 (BR-GAAP); 2009-2011 (IFRS-GAAP) e, posteriormente, por carteira de Boas Notícias e Más Notícias dentro dos períodos considerados BR-GAAP e IFRS-GAAP. Os resultados encontrados indicaram que a divulgação das demonstrações contábeis e financeiras anuais das empresas do setor elétrico, no período de 2007 a 2011, gerou retornos anormais em torno da data do evento para as ações integrantes da amostra. Em relação à segregação por carteiras de Boas notícias e Más notícias somente a primeira provocou reação antecipada do mercado e com significância estatística. Por fim, ao contrário do esperado não foi possível afirmar que os retornos anormais da amostra IFRS-GAAP foram maiores do que a amostra BR-GAAP, pelo contrário, os retornos da amostra BR-GAAP, em torno da data do evento, foram maiores e com maior significância estatística do que das amostras IFRS-GAAP
