Les documents comptables occupent une place centrale dans la vie des affaires. Il est intéressant de porter un regard juridique sur eux pour plusieurs raisons. Tout d'abord, leur élaboration obéit à des règles se plaçant au service d'un objectif qui les dépasse : l'image fidèle. Le préparateur des comptes doit ainsi avoir le souci du lecteur des documents comptables, ce qui peut le conduire, dans certains cas, à déroger à la règle. Cette originalité dans la mise en œuvre de la règle comptable se double d'une originalité des qualifications comptables qui en découlent : les droits et obligations figurant dans les documents comptables sont soumis à une grille de lecture qui dépasse les catégories juridiques traditionnelles, ce qui ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour le juriste, et conduit à remettre en cause la vision classique de l'activité comptable. Cet intérêt se renforce au moment de la réception juridique des documents comptables, qui invite à s'interroger sur les effets que l'on peut leur accorder. D'une part, quelle est la valeur juridique d'un enregistrement comptable : quelle est sa force probante ? Est-il éligible à la qualification d'acte juridique, voire d'engagement juridique unilatéral ? D'autre part, quelles sont les fonctions classiques des agrégats révélées par les documents comptables ? Doivent-elles être remises en cause par l'avènement des normes IFRS ? Enfin, quelles sont les sanctions attachées aux documents comptables ? Une telle question renvoie à la responsabilité des auteurs principaux, que sont les dirigeants, et à celle des professionnels du chiffre, que sont le commissaire aux comptes et l'expert-comptable / Accounting records hold a central place within the framework of business life. For a variety of reasons, it is interesting to consider these accounting records within the legal scope. First of all, the drafting of these documents is subjected to a special regulation which keystone is to present a true and fair view of the accounts. The person drafting the accounts should always keep in mind this purpose and the necessary readability of thesaid documents. This aim can sometimes lead this person to depart from the accounting rule. This originality of the implementation of the accounting rule has to be coupled with an originality of the subsequent accounting qualifications. The rights and obligations drawn up within the accounting records are subjected to a reading grid which goes beyond the classical legal categories. This specificity is opening new horizons to the legal expert and leads to a reconsideration of the traditional understanding of the accounting activity. This interest is strengthened at the time of the receipt of the accounting documents which suggests questioning ourselves about the effects of the latter. On the one hand, which is the legal force of an accounting record, in other words, what is its probative force? Can an accounting record be qualified as a legal transaction or perhaps even more as a unilateral contract? On the other hand, what are the traditional functions of the aggregates revealed by the accounting documents? Should these traditional functions be challenged by the IFRS standards? Finally, which sanctions are foreseen as to accounting documents?

The process of M&A can be characterized by the concentration of capital, patrimonial, organizational and societal restructuring, and cyclical movements. This dissertation, has the aim to describe and analyze the financial accounting performance of a traded corporation, registered in the stock exchange pre and post M&A performed in the year of 2005 in order to assess the value creation due to the M&A process for the shareholder of firms involved as buyer. This aim was carried out through the analysis of the data evolution, use of descriptive statistics and hypothesis test; was also analyzed the stock behavior, on stock market, by technical analysis, descriptive statistics, beta assessment, hypothesis testes and abnormal results. The analysis were carried out using the variables: earning after taxes, net sales, Ebitda, net debt, sales, earning per stock ratio, stock price, dividends payed, total assets divided by total liabilities e current ratio, presence in trading market, number of daily deals of the stock, daily turnover, closing price variation, all traded on BM&FBovespa. In order to assess the value creation for shareholders, were performed analysis in Brazilian firms on the pulp and paper industry, the chosen firms shall be traded to have all the necessary information for the assess, and shall have passed through the M&A process in 2005. Acquiring and acquired companies should also have similar size, so the process of M&As could be clearly observed in the studied variables. Only 1 target company acquired by 2 acquiring companies was chosen, which composes the universe of analysis. The study included analysis of short term, days before and after the announcement, divided into two groups 10 days before and 10 days after and 30 days before and 30 days after the announcement, and long term, periods of three years before and three years after the event. With the analysis results it was possible to observe increase on value creation for shareholders of companies involved as buyers in the process of M&A during the studied period. The variables number of daily deals of the stock, number of daily deals of the stock and daily turnover had important role on the stock-holder assess earning. It is possible to observe that the firms Suzano papel e celulose and Votoratim Celulose e Papel had substantial changes on the studied variables after the M&A process. Were observed increase on stock price, number of daily deals of the stock, number of traded stocks and daily turnover. The beta, risk indicator, after M&A, on both companies, get close to 1, improving the non-diversifiable risk of the firms. The accounting and financial parameters have showed inconclusive results probably / O objetivo principal das empresas ao recorrerem ao processo de F&A ? a busca por alguma vantagem competitiva considerada importante em seu planejamento estrat?gico. O processo de F&A pode ser caracterizado pela concentra??o de capitais, reestrutura??o patrimonial, organizacional e societ?ria, e por movimentos c?clicos. Esta disserta??o, tem por objetivo descrever e analisar o desempenho cont?bil-financeiro de sociedade an?nima de capital aberto, registrado em bolsa de valores, pr? e p?s F&A ocorrido no ano de 2005 com o intuito de avaliar a gera??o de valor decorrente do processo de F&A para os acionistas das empresas envolvidas como adquirentes, atrav?s da an?lise da evolu??o dos dados, aplica??o de estat?stica descritiva e formula??o de teste estat?stico de hip?tese; tamb?m foi realizada an?lise do comportamento das a??es, em mercado secund?rio, por meio de an?lise t?cnica, estat?stica descritiva, avalia??o do beta, teste de hip?teses e verifica??o de ganhos anormais. As an?lises foram feitas utilizando as seguintes vari?veis: lucro l?quido, receita l?quida de vendas, Ebitda, d?vida l?quida, produ??o comercializada, lucro por a??o, pre?o por a??o, dividendo pago por a??o, liquidez geral e liquidez corrente, presen?a nos preg?es, n? de neg?cios di?rio da a??o negociada, volume de neg?cios di?rio da a??o negociada, pre?o de fechamento da a??o negociada todas na BM&FBovespa. Com o intuito de avaliar a gera??o de valor para os acionistas, foram realizadas as an?lises em empresas brasileiras escolhidas do setor de papel e celulose, de capital aberto para haver disponibilidades nas informa??es necess?rias para an?lise, e que passaram pelo processo de fus?o ou aquisi??o no ano de 2005. As empresas adquirentes e adquiridas deveriam ter porte similar para que o processo de F&A pudesse ser observado com clareza nas vari?veis em estudo. Foi selecionada uma ?nica empresa alvo adquirida por 2 empresas adquirentes, que formaram o universo da an?lise. O estudo contemplou an?lises de curto prazo, dias antes e depois do an?ncio, divididos em 2 grupos 10 dias antes e 10 dias depois e 30 dias antes e 30 dias depois do an?ncio; e de longo prazo, per?odos de 3 anos antes e 3 anos ap?s o evento. Com os resultados das an?lises ? poss?vel constatar aumento na gera??o de valor para os acionistas das empresas envolvidas como adquirentes no processo de F&A, no per?odo estudado. As vari?veis n? de neg?cios, volume negociado e quantidade de a??es tiveram papel importante na avalia??o do ganho do acionista. ? poss?vel constatar que as empresas Suzano Papel e Celulose e Votorantim Celulose e Papel, tiveram altera??es substanciais nas vari?veis estudadas depois do processo de F&A. Constatou-se a valoriza??o no pre?o da a??o negociada, aumento no n? de neg?cios, na quantidade de a??es negociadas por preg?o e no volume movimentado diariamente. O beta, indicador de risco, p?s F&A, em ambas as empresas, aproximou-se de 1, aumentando o risco n?o diversific?vel das empresas. Os par?metros cont?beis-financeiros apresentaram resultados inconclusivos, provavelmente pela pequena quantidade de dados analisada e pela infu?ncia de fatores externos.

Dans le cadre général des regroupements d'entreprises et des groupes de sociétés, cette thèse porte sur des questions d'intérêt à la croisée de la comptabilité, du droit (notamment les dispositions légales et la réglementation comptable) et de la finance d'entreprise. En ce qui concerne la théorie comptable, le chapitre 2 étudie comment les chercheurs en économie d'entreprise ont compris les groupes d'entreprises, les comptes de groupe et le processus de leur préparation, en particulier par rapport aux juristes italiens. Ensuite, le chapitre 3 reconstruit le processus politique et législatif qui a engendré la naissance du concept de groupe de sociétés dans le corpus juridique italien.Concernant le droit et la politique comptable, une analyse comparative est effectuée au chapitre 4qui montre clairement l'évolution de la notion de contrôle et de son utilisation dans les comptes consolidés (comptes de groupe) et les regroupements d'entreprises (I) en droit européen, (II) selon les normes comptables internationales publiées par l'IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) et (III) par rapport aux principes comptables généralement admis aux États-Unis («USGAAP»). De plus, les chapitres 5 et 6 étudient les effets du lobbying sur les normes comptables concernant les états financiers consolidés et les regroupements d'entreprises publiés par l'IASB. Fait intéressant, les résultats concordent avec une forme de capture du normalisateur comptable international par une catégorie d'institutions financières. En effet, confrontées à un modèle de consolidation prétendument basé sur le contrôle, ces dernières ont plaidé en faveur d'une exception de consolidation fondée sur un modèle de propriété et documentée comme ayant été proposée par les sociétés d'audit américaines dans ce contexte au moins depuis 1995. Ce modèle s’avère avoir trouvé un terrain fertile au sein de l'IASB. En conséquence, d'autres catégories d'institutions financières,telles que les fonds d'investissement à long terme et ceux gérés par une famille tout en préférant un modèle de consolidation différent, ne sont plus autorisées à présenter des états financiers consolidés. En ce qui concerne la finance d’entreprise, le chapitre 7 analyse les implications de différentes décisions de financement dans un nouveau échantillon de fusions et acquisitions entre institutions financières (banques et assurances) consommées dans le monde entier au cours des deux dernières décennies. En particulier, il étudie (I) la relation entre la méthode de choix de paiement (si le prix est payé en cash, en actions ou une combinaison des deux) et le choix du mode de financement d'un regroupement d'entreprises (y compris les instruments hybrides) et (II) la réaction des investisseurs à l'annonce de la combinaison. En ce qui concerne ce dernier point, l'utilisation de deux tests non paramétriques permet de détecter une relation intéressante entre la réaction du marché à l'annonce et les différents modes attendus de financement de la transaction. / In the broad context of business combinations and group of companies, this thesis selects some matters of interest at the crossroad between accounting, law (especially legal provisions and accounting regulation) and corporate finance.Concerning accounting theory, chapter 2 studies how business economics scholars understood groups of companies, group accounts and the process for their preparation in particular compared to Italian legal scholars. Then, chapter 3 reconstructs the political and legislative process that brought about the birth of the concept of group of companies in the Italian legal corpus. Concerning law and accounting policy, a comparative analysis is carried out in chapter 4 which clearly shows how the notion of control and its use in consolidated financial statements (group accounts) and business combinations accounting evolved (I) in European law, (II) under international accounting standards as issued by the IASB – International Accounting StandardsBoard and (III) in US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Moreover, chapters 5 and 6 investigate the effects of lobbying on accounting standards on consolidated financial statements and business combinations issued by the IASB. Interestingly, results are consistent with a regulatory capture of the international standard setter by a category of financial institutions. In fact, confronted with a consolidation model purportedly based on control, the latter lobbied in favour of a consolidation exception which is based on an ownership view and is documented to have been proposed by US audit companies in that context at least from 1995. That view found a fertile ground within the IASB. As a result, other categories of financial institutions such as long term investment funds and those run by a family preferring a different consolidation model are now prohibited from presenting consolidated financial statement. Concerning corporate finance, chapter 7 studies the implications of different financing decisions ina novel and comprehensive sample of cases of mergers and acquisitions across and between financial institutions (banks and insurances) consummated worldwide around almost the last twodecades. In particular, it investigates (I) the relationship between the method of payment choice (i.e. if the price is paid in cash, stock or a mixture of the two) and the choice regarding the mode offinancing a business combination (including hybrid instruments) and (II) investors’ reaction at the combination announcement. As to the latter point, the use of two non-parametric tests allows todetect an interesting relationship between the market reaction at announcement and the different expected modes of financing the transaction.
