The thesis presents the results of a study on the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on the analysts information environment. The analysis is concentrated on the role of specific IFRSs and corporate disclosure. The effect of IFRS adoption on the information asymmetry between firms and outsiders is examined through properties of analysts earnings forecasts. A contribution to the existing academic literature is made by examining the role of goodwill, intangible assets and acquisitions before and after IFRS adoption in Europe. The results show that the IFRSs for goodwill, acquisitions and intangible assets are related to improvements in the analysts information environment. Another contribution to knowledge is made by investigating the effect of corporate disclosure quantity on the analysts information environment before and after IFRS adoption. For this purpose, a new approach and text analysis technique to assess the impact of corporate disclosure quantity is developed. This involves the creation of a new custom dictionary and the collection of an extensive set of qualitative data. The results show that corporate disclosure quantity under IFRS, is related to improvements in the analysts information environment but that there are differences in this effect across European countries. The results also demonstrate that the improvements in the accuracy of analysts earnings forecasts are related particularly to disclosure concerning financial instruments and operating segments. Overall, the findings of the thesis suggest that the adoption of IFRS resulted in an increase in the quality of reported earnings, which is likely to derive from higher comparability of financial statements, enhanced transparency and an improved analysts information environment. It is also established that fundamental differences across countries remain after IFRS adoption and that the development and harmonisation of financial reporting standards alone are not sufficient to increase the quality of financial information and decrease information asymmetry between market participants.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O mercado futebolÃstico assumiu grandes proporÃÃes ao longo do tempo e garantiu seu espaÃo no mercado mundial, tornando-se um negÃcio tÃo rentÃvel como outros investimentos como o mercado imobiliÃrio, com princÃpios da maximizaÃÃo do lucro e com a adoÃÃo de tÃcnicas estratÃgicas e financeiras para a gestÃo administrativa. De acordo com a VisÃo Baseada em Recursos da Firma (RBV), dentre os recursos capazes de favorecer o desempenho empresarial, sobressaem-se os ativos intangÃveis â categoria em que se enquadra a parte mais representativa dos ativos dos clubes de futebol, segundo indicaÃÃes da literatura. Apesar da obrigatoriedade de registro contÃbil em diversos paÃses, estudos nacionais e internacionais apontam que a evidenciaÃÃo do ativo intangÃvel nas demonstraÃÃes financeiras das entidades em geral, e principalmente nas entidades desportivas, tem sido superficial, nÃo compreendendo todos os itens exigidos pelas normas contÃbeis, implicando uma baixa qualidade informacional das entidades nos informes contÃbeis deste tipo de ativo. Com base nos argumentos oferecidos na literatura sobre a evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil incipiente dos ativos intangÃveis pelas entidades desportivas, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar padrÃes de associaÃÃo entre o ativo intangÃvel com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil e o desempenho econÃmico dos clubes de futebol brasileiros e europeus listados no Club World Ranking. No que concerne aos procedimentos metodolÃgicos, esta pesquisa classifica-se como: exploratÃrio-descritiva, quanto aos objetivos; documental e bibliogrÃfica, quanto Ãs tÃcnicas; e, predominantemente, quantitativa, quanto à abordagem do problema. A amostra do estudo reÃne os clubes de futebol listados no Club World Ranking 2012, naturais de paÃses que adotam Ãs IFRS, a partir do critÃrio de publicaÃÃo das demonstraÃÃes financeiras de 2011. Para a mensuraÃÃo especÃfica dos ativos intangÃveis com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil foram utilizadas como variÃveis o Retorno do Ativo IntangÃvel (AIG) e a Representatividade do Ativo IntangÃvel (RAI); do desempenho econÃmico, o Return on Assets (ROA) e Return on Equity (ROE); e do desempenho desportivo, a classificaÃÃo amostral de acordo com a posiÃÃo no ranking. Os resultados da anÃlise quantitativa demonstram que: (i) os clubes se agruparam em seis clusters, sendo trÃs variÃveis mais decisivas, apresentadas em ordem de potÃncia discriminante AIG, Des. Desportivo e ROE; (ii) hà diferenÃas quanto ao perfil de ativos intangÃveis com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil dos clubes europeus e brasileiros, principalmente quanto ao RAI; (iii) nÃo hà diferenÃas quanto ao perfil de desempenho econÃmico, tanto para ROE quanto para ROA de forma geral, bem como entre os clubes europeus e brasileiros; (iv) nÃo hà padrÃes de correlaÃÃo entre o desempenho desportivo e o perfil de ativos intangÃveis com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil de forma geral, bem como entre os clubes europeus e brasileiros. De forma mais pontual, nÃo hà correlaÃÃes entre o perfil dos ativos intangÃveis com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil (AIG e RAI) dos clubes e os respectivos desempenhos econÃmicos (ROE e ROA), apesar de que ter sido identificada correlaÃÃo negativa entre AIG e ROE inesperada, o que suscita novas pesquisas. Do exposto, de acordo com os resultados da anÃlise dos dados dos clubes brasileiros e europeus, conclui-se que nÃo hà associaÃÃo entre o ativo intangÃvel com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil e o desempenho econÃmico dos clubes de forma geral, bem como entre os clubes europeus e brasileiros; o perfil do ativo intangÃvel com evidenciaÃÃo contÃbil dos clubes brasileiros à diferente dos europeus; e, o desempenho econÃmico dos clubes de futebol brasileiros à semelhante ao dos europeus. / The football market has assumed great proportions over time and secured their place in the world market, making it a business as profitable as other investments as the housing market, with the principles of profit maximization and the adoption of strategic technical and financial arrangements for administrative management. According to the Resource Based View of the Firm (RBV), of resources that can facilitate business performance, stand out intangible assets - category that fits the most representative of the assets of football clubs, according to the indications literature.Despite the mandatory accounting records in many countries, national and international studies show that the disclosure of intangible assets in the financial statements of entities in general, and especially in sports entities, has been superficial, not including all items required by accounting standards, implying a low quality informational entities in the accounting reports of this type of asset. Based on the arguments offered in the literature on fledgling accounting disclosure of intangible assets for the sports entities, the present study aimed to investigate patterns of association between intangible assets with accounting disclosure and economic performance of brazilian and european soccer clubs listed on the Club World Ranking. Regarding the methodological procedures, this research is classified as exploratory-descriptive as to the objectives; documental and bibliographical, as to the techniques; and predominantly quantitative, on the approach of the problem. The sample meets football clubs listed in the Club World Ranking 2012, of natural countries that adopt IFRS, based on the criteria of publication of the financial statements 2011. About the principal proxies, the variables were used: as intangible assets with accounting disclosure, Return of Intangible Assets (AIG) and the Representation of Intangible Assets (RAI); as economic performance, Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE); and as sports performance, the classification sample according to the Ranking. The results of the quantitative analysis, show that: (i) the clubs were grouped into six clusters, and three most important factors are presented in order of discriminant power AIG, Des. Sports and ROE (ii) there are differences in the profile of intangible assets with accounting disclosure between european and brazilian clubs, particularly for the RAI (iii) there are no differences in the profile of economic performance for both ROE so as ROA to general, as well as between european and brazilian clubs, (iv) there is no correlation patterns between sports performance and profile of intangible assets with accounting disclosure in general, as well as between european and brazilian clubs. More timely, there is no correlation between the profile of intangible assets with accounting disclosure (AIG and RAI) of the clubs and their economic performance (ROE and ROA), although it has been identified negative correlation between AIG and ROE unexpected, the which raises new researches. From the above, according to the results of the data analysis of brazilian and european clubs, it is concluded that: there is no association between intangible assets with accounting disclosure and economic performance of the clubs in general, as well as between European and brazilian clubs, the profile of intangible assets with accounting disclosure brazilian clubs is different from the european, and the economic performance of the brazilian football clubs is similar to that of europeans.

This dissertation explores the disclosure on intangibles acquired in Mergers & Acquisitos. The related empirical analyses are based on a sample of M&As that are accounted for under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US-GAAP). In three different research papers I answer three distinct research questions. In order to enable capital providers and other external stakeholders to evaluate the PPA, the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 (IFRS 3) and the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141 (SFAS 141) require the acquirer firm’s management to disclose information about the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the notes to the financial statement. The first research paper (see chapter II) addresses the following research question: Which information about intangibles acquired in M&As does the acquirer firm’s management disclose in the notes to the financial statement? The second research paper examines the factors that affect the initial recognition of goodwill. This research question is answered in the second research paper (see chapter III): Does the acquirer firm’s management opportunistically or efficiently use its discretion to recognize goodwill initially? The corporate information environment consists not only of corporate disclosure but also of disclosure by information intermediaries. The third research paper (see chapter IV) addresses this last set of research questions: Which information about intangibles acquired in M&As is provided in voluntary or mandatory corporate disclosures and in disclosures by information intermediaries? How are the disclosure channels interrelated?
