Previous issue date: 2012-04-20 / The study of the relevance of accounting information has come to prominence with the development of capital markets and the pursuit of timely information, quality and which are able to influence its users. As relevant accounting information, this essay adopts the concept of quality that the information owns to influence prices in the capital markets. Taking advantage of the timely convergence of brazilian accounting standards to IFRS (International Financial Reports Standards), this study aimed to determine whether the adoption of international accounting standards (IFRS) affected the relevance of accounting information of non-financial companies listed in Brazil and whether there are differences in the relevance of accounting information among the published statement sunder IFRS on a voluntary and compulsory way. The first objective examined whether there were differences in the relevance of the information through an analysis of ordinary least squares (OLS) of the financial statements of 2009 prepared in BR GAAP and IFRS, and through the analysis of panel data from the annual financial statements period 2005 to 2010. The second objective of the analysis used panel data from annual financial statements for the period 2005 to 2010, and considered as those published in voluntary IFRS for prior periods to fiscal the year of 2010. All analyzes used models of Ohlson (1995) and Barth, Cram and Nelson (2001). The models were used as dependent variables price (P) and stock returns (RET), however the results were suitable only to the dependent variable (P). The analysis indicated that there are differences in the relevance of the information of non-financial companies listed in Brazil, on its financial statements prepared in BR GAAP and IFRS. The analysis of the model of Ohlson (1995) in OLS and panel data confirmed this difference and pointed to the financial statements prepared under IFRS as the major importance. The model of Barth, Cram and Nelson (2001) in OLS also revealed differences in the relevance of the information prepared in BR GAAP and IFRS, but pointed to statements in BR GAAP as the major importance. The model of Barth, Cram and Nelson (2001) on panel data found no differences in the relevance of accounting information between BR GAAP and IFRS standards. The second objective, the results indicate that there are no differences in the relevance of accounting information between the statements prepared under IFRS on a mandatory or voluntary way, from non-financial companies listed in Brazil / O estudo da relev??ncia das informa????es cont??beis vem ganhando destaque com o desenvolvimento dos mercados de capitais e com a busca de informa????es tempestivas, de qualidade e que sejam capazes de influenciar seus usu??rios. Como informa????o cont??bil relevante, esta disserta????o adota o conceito da qualidade que a informa????o possui de influenciar os pre??os praticados nos mercados de capitais. Aproveitando o momento oportuno da converg??ncia das normas cont??beis brasileiras para as IFRS (International Financial Reports Standards), este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar se a ado????o das normas internacionais de contabilidade (IFRS) afetou a relev??ncia das informa????es cont??beis das empresas n??o financeiras listadas no Brasil e se existe diferen??a na relev??ncia das informa????es cont??beis entre as demonstra????es publicadas em IFRS de forma volunt??ria e obrigat??ria. O primeiro objetivo verificou se haviam diferen??as na relev??ncia das informa????es atrav??s de uma an??lise em M??nimos Quadrados Ordin??rios (MQO) das demonstra????es cont??beis do ano de 2009 elaboradas em BR GAAP e em IFRS; e atrav??s da an??lise de dados em painel das demonstra????es cont??beis anuais do per??odo de 2005 a 2010. O segundo objetivo utilizou da an??lise de dados em painel das demonstra????es cont??beis anuais do per??odo de 2005 a 2010, e considerou como demonstra????o cont??bil volunt??ria aquelas publicadas em IFRS para per??odos anteriores ao exerc??cio 2010. Todas as an??lises utilizaram dos modelos de Ohlson (1995) e Barth, Cram e Nelson (2001). Os modelos utilizados tinham como vari??veis dependentes o pre??o (P) e o retorno das a????es (RET), por??m, os resultados foram adequados somente com a vari??vel dependente (P). As an??lises apontaram que existem diferen??as na relev??ncia das informa????es das empresas n??o financeiras listadas no Brasil, relativo ?? suas demonstra????es cont??beis elaboradas em BR GAAP e em IFRS. A an??lise do modelo de Ohlson (1995) em MQO e dados em painel comprovaram esta diferen??a e apontaram paras as demonstra????es elaboradas em IFRS como as de maior relev??ncia. O modelo de Barth, Cram e Nelson (2001) em MQO tamb??m revelou diferen??as na relev??ncia das informa????es elaboradas em BR GAAP e IFRS, por??m apontou para as demonstra????es em BR GAAP como de maior relev??ncia. O modelo de Barth, Cram e Nelson (2001) em dados de painel n??o encontrou diferen??as na relev??ncia das informa????es cont??beis entre os padr??es BR GAAP e IFRS. Quanto ao segundo objetivo, os resultados apontam que n??o existem diferen??as na relev??ncia das informa????es cont??beis entre as demonstra????es elaboradas em IFRS de forma obrigat??ria ou volunt??ria, das empresas n??o financeiras listadas no Brasil

Previous issue date: 2010-03-23 / Banco Santander / Banespa / O presente estudo objetivou analisar como as informações voluntárias disponibilizadas pelas companhias nos Relatórios da Administração são utilizadas pelas Corretoras de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários nas recomendações de investimento em ações. Para tanto, foi encaminhado aos analistas das corretoras um instrumento de coleta de dados, que procurou identificar as informações que estes utilizam para realizar as recomendações. Obteve-se 30 retornos de uma população de 108 corretoras cadastradas na CVM. Estas 30 corretoras informaram as empresas cujas demonstrações analisam, obtendo-se, assim, a segunda amostra da pesquisa. Para analisar as informações divulgadas pelas companhias de capital aberto, foi feita análise de conteúdo dos Relatórios da Administração entregues a CVM do ano de 2008. Fez-se uma análise descritiva dos dados das duas amostras de forma individual, onde foi possível verificar o perfil dos respondentes e suas opiniões sobre a importância das informações apresentadas pelas companhias de capital aberto. Já na análise descritiva dos Relatórios da Administração, foi possível verificar o nível de evidenciação das empresas, e ainda examinar as informações que são divulgadas com maior frequência. Foi realizada a análise de conglomerado (Cluster) com a amostra das corretoras, verificando-se que não há uma unanimidade na forma de análise das informações que são por estas utilizadas. Procedeu-se uma segunda análise de conglomerado, unindo os respondentes e as empresas, para verificar a relação existente entre as informações divulgadas pelas companhias de capital aberto e a sua utilização por parte das corretoras. Os resultados dessas análises indicam que os relatórios que as empresas apresentam possuem muitas particularidades, desde as que fazem a apresentação apenas levando em consideração os aspectos legais e outras os utilizam como um canal de comunicação das atividades realizadas. Já com relação aos analistas, verificou-se que, de forma geral, as informações contábeis divulgadas ao mercado são utilizadas e possuem relevância nas análises que são feitas para as recomendações de investimento em ações. / The objective of the present study is to analyze the relationship between the voluntary information provided by companies in the Reports of Directors and its use by Brokers Securities in evaluating and recommending investments in stocks. So, an instrument of data collecting was sent to the brokerage analysts to identify the information used on the recommendations. 30 returns were received from a population of 108 brokerages registered on Securities Exchange Commission. After receiving the returns, it was verified which companies were analyzed by the brokerages, and with this verification the second sample of the research was taken. To analyze the information released by the companies, an analysis was done on the Administration Reports sent to the Securities Exchange Commission in 2008. A descriptive analysis was done in both samples individually, so it was possible to verify the personality of the respondents and the opinion about the importance of the information presented by the companies. And on the descriptive analysis of the Administration Reports was possible to identify the level of disclosure of the companies, and besides that it was possible to verify which information is released more often. The conglomerate analysis (Cluster) was done with the brokerages sample, and it was verified that there is not an unanimously way to analyze the information used by the respondents. So, a second conglomerate analysis was done, this time with respondents and companies together to verify the relation between the information released by the companies and the usage of this information by the brokerage. The results of theses analyzes indicate that the reports presented by the companies have many particularities, since the ones that take under consideration only the legal aspects, and others that used this report as an communication channel of the company activities. About the analysts, it was verified that the information released to the market is used, and this information is relevant on the analysis made for recommendation of stock investments.

建立本體式財務會計資訊系統 / Construct an Ontology-based Financial Accounting Information System黃炳榮 Unknown Date (has links)
財務會計資訊系統是企業基礎且必要的資訊系統,提供內、外部使用者有關企業的經營績效資訊,作為內部經營者的管理依據及外部投資者的決策參考。然而由於法令頻繁的變更及企業本身策略需求的改變,會計資訊系統面臨很高的更新、維護成本。
本研究提出一個以本體為基礎的資訊系統架構,首先修改W.E. McCarthy於1982年提出的REA 模型,利用本體工程方法建立財務會計本體,描述企業流程及會計處理知識;再利用規則式系統之技術,於財務會計本體外建立系統存取規則及介面,呈現系統樣貌與功能。於法令變更及需求改變時直接修改本體內容,彈性變更系統內的流程、運作規則,達成減少維護成本、增加彈性之目標。 / Accounting Information System(AIS) is a kind of important system in an enterprise. That provides financial information for users to make decisions. However, accounting principle and manage strategy changing frequently that cause highly maintenance cost.
This research proposes an ontology-based system structure. First, we amend the REA model and analyze business processes and accounting rules to build an accounting ontology by ontology engineering. Then, we use the rule-based system skill to develop the system interface. Whenever accounting principle be modified, we update the ontology only. This design promotes the flexibility and decreases the cost.

Previous issue date: 2007 / The choice of accounting standards capable of defining the recognition, measurement and publicizing of financial and economic information to the general public constitutes one of the accounting community¿s greatest challenges. So, the analysis of the Fundamental Principles of Accounting and of the Conceptual Structure of Accounting becomes relevant because of its direct relation to the normative process and because it represents the essence of doctrines and theories relating to the Science of Accounting. Each country¿s set of rules diverges when it comes to creating and evidencing Accounting Statements, and that¿s why the harmonization of the International Accounting Rules is becoming more important among accountants: as an answer to the world qualitative and quantitative demand for information. When managers, answering a great variety of incentives, manipulate or manage the disclosure of accounting information, they show that the management of accounting information begins to represent a purposeful intervention in the process of elaboration of financial and economic statements with the intention of obtaining some private benefit. In this context, Accounting Regulation performs an important function in the technical procedure of professionals in the area and in the development of practices convergent with international standards, which, in their turn, are already in force. The present study, which is exploratory and non-experimental, aims at presenting and analyzing the process of accounting regulation under the perspective of rules and of the choice of accounting practices as an answer by regulated entities on a tridimensional perspective. The establishment of interaction among diverse fields, through interdisciplinarity, aims at bridging the gap between the fields of law and accounting by articulating concepts and cognitive schemes in a process of mutual enrichment. The research concludes that it is possible to apply concepts from Miguel Reale¿s Tridimensional Theory of Law in the study of accounting regulation. / A escolha de padrões contábeis capazes de definir a forma mais adequada para o reconhecimento, mensuração e divulgação das informações econômico-financeiras ao público externo constitui um dos grandes desafios da comunidade contábil. Dessa forma, a análise dos Princípios Fundamentais de Contabilidade e da Estrutura Conceitual da Contabilidade se torna relevante pela direta relação com o processo normativo e por representar à essência das doutrinas e teorias relativas à Ciência da Contabilidade. Os conjuntos normativos de cada país apresentam divergências na forma de elaborar e evidenciar as Demonstrações Contábeis, motivo pelo qual a harmonização das Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade (NIC) vem ganhando importância no meio contábil, em resposta à demanda qualitativa e quantitativa de informações em âmbito mundial. Os gestores ao manipularem ou gerenciarem a divulgação de informações contábeis em atendimento a uma grande variedade de incentivos, demonstram que o gerenciamento da informação contábil passa a representar uma intervenção proposital no processo de elaboração das Demonstrações Econômico-Financeiras, com a intenção de obter algum benefício particular. Nesse contexto, a Regulação Contábil exerce importante papel na conduta técnica de profissionais da área e no desenvolvimento de práticas convergentes com os padrões internacionais que, por sua vez, já se constitui numa realidade. O presente estudo, de caráter exploratório e não-experimental, tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar o processo de regulação contábil sob o enfoque normativo e da escolha de práticas contábeis como resposta dos entes regulados, numa perspectiva tridimensional. O estabelecimento da interação de disciplinas diversas, por meio da interdisciplinaridade, visa romper o isolamento entre as disciplinas contábil e jurídica, articulando conceitos e esquemas cognitivos em um processo de enriquecimento mútuo. A pesquisa conclui que é possível aplicar as concepções advindas da Teoria Tridimensional do Direito, de Miguel Reale, no estudo da regulação contábil.

The awareness and perception of cloud computing technology by accounting firms in Cape TownVan den Bergh, Jacobus 11 1900 (has links)
Cloud accounting software (CAS) emerged as part of the overall development of cloud computing. The cloud, as it is referred to, has heralded a new age in information technology and offers new and unique opportunities and challenges for organisations of all sizes. The aim of this study was to determine the awareness and perception of cloud computing technology by accounting firms in Cape Town.
The findings of the survey reveal that significant awareness exists of CAS by firm managers and accountants. In some respects there are significant differences between small and medium-large firms regarding their perceptions of CAS. Smaller firms seem to be more positive toward CAS and also more agile and capable of deploying CAS than medium-large firms, and thereby are taking advantage of CAS more effectively.
It is evident from the study that there are opportunities for both small and medium-large firms to make use of CAS in their attempts to grow their businesses and it is important that they become familiar with CAS and the opportunities and threats which it presents. Marketers of CAS products need to consider the firm’s size, as well as the organisational decision-making process for CAS acquisition, which can aid them in their marketing designs. / Business Management / M.

Regulação econômica e escolhas de práticas contábeis: evidências no mercado de saúde suplementar brasileiro / Economic regulation and accounting choice: evidences from Brazilian health maintenance organizationsRicardo Lopes Cardoso 16 November 2005 (has links)
A presente pesquisa investiga os impactos da regulação econômica nas escolhas de práticas contábeis. Buscando identificar a relação existente, são apresentadas pesquisas em gerenciamento da informação contábil (de resultado e do balanço patrimonial) e as teorias econômicas da regulação. Em seguida, são apresentadas as evidências empíricas de como a regulação econômica incentiva a adoção de determinadas práticas contábeis. Nesse mister, é apresentada a regulação financeira exercida pela Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) sobre as entidades operadoras de planos de assistência à saúde (OPS), também chamadas de planos de saúde. Essa regulação financeira consiste no acompanhamento, pela ANS, da situação econômico-financeira das OPS. A ANS compara os índices calculados a partir das informações contábeis recebidas, eletronicamente, das OPS, com parâmetros estabelecidos a priori. Se determinada OPS não atender, satisfatoriamente, os parâmetros, fica sujeita ao afastamento de seus administradores de suas funções e até à liquidação de seus ativos. Por fim, as teorias da regulação e do gerenciamento da informação contábil são revisitadas à luz da Nova Economia Institucional, identificando-se, portanto, a Contabilidade como parte integrante de um contrato (regulação) cujos custos são diferentes de zero (custos de transação), de forma que a informação contábil é a cola que mantém a firma unida e a regulação financeira em atividade. / This study analyzes how the economic regulation impacts on accounting policy choices. With a view to identifying the existing relationship between both, the economic theories of regulation and research on earnings and balance sheet management are discussed. Then, empirical evidence is presented of how economic regulation stimulates the choice of certain accounting policies, related to the Brazilian Health Care Agencys (ANS) equivalent to the US Federal governments Office of Health Maintenance Organizations financial regulation of health maintenance organizations (HMO), called OPS in Brazil. OPS have their economic-financial situation monitored by the ANS, which compares the indices calculated on the basis of electronically received financial information with some previously established financial thresholds. If these are not complied with to a reasonable extent, this may lead to the HMOs liquidation. Finally, the regulation and earnings and balance sheet management theories are discussed under the lens of New Institutional Economics, which sees Accounting as part of a contract (regulation), whose costs are positive (transaction costs), and accounting information as the glue that keeps the firm together and keeps the financial regulation working.

Uma contribuição ao estudo da contabilidade como sistema de informação / A contribution to the study of accounting as an information systemEdson Luiz Riccio 15 April 1992 (has links)
O contínuo aparecimento de novos conceitos para o desenvolvimento e controle de uma organização, os avanços da Contabilidade Gerencial além da crescente demanda pela Contabilidade Financeira colocam um desafio para a Contabilidade e todos os envolvidos na sua utilização, operação, pesquisa, desenvolvimento e implementação. Este desafio tem sido mais forte devido ao aumento da complexidade das organizações e o impacto causado pelos Computadores, que reforçaram o conceito de velocidade nos negócios. Adicionalmente, a influencia da cultura japonesa na Administração Organizacional, mais especificamente, \"kanban\", \"Just in Time\", Circulos de Qualidade e flexibilidade, trouxeram mudanças no comportamento organizacional, pressionando a área contábil a atuar dentro dos mesmos padrões. Muitos autores tem questionado sobre estes aspectos como, por exemplo: Bromwich & Hopwood em \" Research and Current Issues in Management Accounting (1986, dizendo: \"Varias abordagens para estrutura organizacional estão criando diferentes necessidades de informação para decisão e controle. Maior enfase está sendo colocada na necessidade de atender tanto as necessidades de informação locais quando as da administração central, e mais, \"a Contabilidade é tambem chamada a desempenhar um papel explicito na mobilização da mudança organizacional. Nao mais vista como um mero repositório passivo de dados do passado, o sistema contábil é parte integrante do desenho de diferentes abordagens na gestão da visibilidade organizacional e das várias direções para sua atuação.\" Estes aspectos foram tambem identificados por Iudicibus em \"Teoria da Contabilidade (1980), ao discutir as categorias de usuários da informação contábil e seus objetivos. Assim, a Contabilidade e os Contadores vem sendo mais e mais requesitados a suprir toda a organização com melhores seriços e informações. O Contador como profissional é solicitado a ser empresário, e sair de sua posição tradicional de \" dono dos dados\" para um novo papel, o de agente de serviços de informação e facilitador na tomada de decisão. Portanto, o Contador e o Sistema de Informação Contábil devem estar totalmente integrados aos objetivos da organização, tanto internos quanto externos. A questão é: como o Sistema de Informação Contábil pode satisfazer as necessidades de informação de uma organização. O objetivo desta tese é o de revisar a abordagem sistêmica da Contabilidade considerando os novos conceitos acima propostos. / The continuous release of new concepts in the development and control of an Organization, the advances of Managerial Accounting plus the growing requirements for Financial Accounting present all together a challenge for Accounting and for all individuals somehow involved in its usage, operation, research, development and implementation. This challenge has been stronger due to the increase in the complexity of an organization and the impact caused by the use of Computers, which have introduced the concept of speed in business. Additionally, the influence of the Japanese culture in Business Administration, more specifically, the Kanban, Just in Time, Quality Circles and flexibility, has caused many changes in the organizations behavior, pressuring the Accounting area to act accordingly. Several authors have questioned about these points as for example: Bromwich & Hopwood in Research and Current issues in Management Accounting (1986), saying: Different approaches to organizational structuring are creating different information needs for decision making and control. Greater emphasis is being placed on the need to service both local and central management needs for information, and more, Accounting is also being called upon to play a quite explicit role in the mobilization of organizational change. No longer seen as a mere passive reckoning of the economics of the past, accounting systems are now being implicated in the design of different approaches to the management of organizational visibility and different incentives for organizational action. This aspect had also been identified by Iudícibus in Teoria da Contabilidade (1980) when discussing the Categories of accounting information users and their objectives. Thus, the Accounting and the Accountants are being requested more and more to supply the entire organization with better service and information. The Accountant, as a professional, is asked to be a businessman, changing from his old position of data owner to a new one, as an Information Service Agent, and as a decision making facilitator. Therefore, the Accountant and the Accounting System must be fully integrated with the companys objectives internally and externally. The question is, how the Accounting System can satisfy the information requirements of a Company. The objective of this study is to revise the systems approach for Accounting in a computerized environment considering the new concepts above explained.

Avskaffandet av revisionsplikten i små aktiebolag : En kvalitativ studie om bibehållande av redovisningskvalité utan revision i små aktiebolag / The abolition of the audit obligation in small limited companies : A qualitative study on maintaining accounting quality without auditing in small limited companiesDemelash, Eleni, Mohammad Hussain, Mustafa January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Revisionsplikten avskaffades i syfte att minska den administrativa kostnaden, stärka bolagens konkurrenskraft samt tillväxtmöjligheter för små aktiebolag. Sedan år 2010 har revisionen blivit frivilligt för företag som uppfyller vissa kriterier. Följaktligen har reformen lett till att flera företag inte längre kunde upprätthålla redovisningskvalité. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur små aktiebolag upprätthålla en god redovisningskvalité trots att de har valt bort revisionen. Kunskapen kommer skapas genom att förklara effekten av den frivilliga revisionen på redovisningskvalitéten, för att vidare bidra med kunskap åt små aktiebolag som inte vill anlita revisorer. Metod: I studien har kvalitativ metod tillämpats genom användning av semistrukturerade intervjuer med auktoriserade och godkända revisorer. Resultat & Analys: Revisorer menade att många företag inte förstår vikten av att behålla revisionen samt ser det som en kostnadsbelastning. Vidare menar revisorer för att behålla god redovisningskvalité är det viktigt med intern kompetens och externa redovisningstjänster. Studien påvisar att små aktiebolag kan utöver revision upprätthålla en god redovisningskvalité med hjälp av redovisningskonsulter samt interna kompetens tillsammans med bokföringsprogram. Utifrån studien har det klargjorts för små aktiebolagsägare att god redovisningskvalité kan uppnås med andra externa och interna tjänster än revisionen. / Background: The audit duty was abolished with the aim of reducing administrative costs, strengthening companies' competitiveness and growth opportunities for small limited companies. Since 2010, the audit has become voluntary for companies that meet certain criteria. Consequently, the reform has led to several companies no longer being able to maintain accounting quality. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge about how small limited companies can still maintain a good accounting quality even though they have opted out of the audit. The knowledge will be created by explaining the effect of the voluntary audit on accounting quality, in order to further contribute knowledge to small limited companies that do not want to hire auditors. Method: In the study, qualitative method has been applied through the use of semi-structured interviews with authorized and approved accountants. Results & Analysis: Auditors said that many companies do not understand the importance of maintaining the audit and see it as a cost burden. Furthermore, accountants believe that in order to maintain good accounting quality, it is important to have internal competence and external accounting services. The study shows that small limited companies can, in addition to auditing, maintain a good accounting quality with the help of accounting consultants and internal competence together with accounting software. Based on the study, it has been made clear to the owners of small limited companies that good accounting quality can be achieved with external and internal services other than the audit.
