O objetivo da contabilidade é definido como fornecer aos seus usuários informações relevantes para a tomada de decisões. Porém, quem são os usuários e qual informação é relevante? O enfoque dado pela Teoria Positiva da Contabilidade considera os investidores dos mercados de capitais como os usuários das informações contábeis e essas são relevantes quando possuem um grau de associação estatisticamente significativo com o preço ou retorno das ações. Tendo em vista as mudanças na legislação societária que estão tramitando no Câmara dos Deputados, o Brasil poderá tornar obrigatória a elaboração e publicação da Demonstração do Valor Adicionado pelas companhias abertas. De forma similar à Demonstração do Resultado do Exercício, a DVA é uma demonstração de características dedutivas em que a última linha representa um resultado, nesse caso, a riqueza gerada pela empresa durante um período. Porém, em adição a essa informação, é evidenciado de que forma essa riqueza é distribuída para uma série de stakeholders, além da parcela distribuída aos proprietários, sócios ou acionistas. Logo, é uma demonstração mais ampla que a DRE, destinada a vários usuários, não apenas aos proprietários, sócios ou acionistas, como a DRE, a princípio, parece ser destinada. Mas, quando se leva em conta os conceitos da Teoria Positiva da Contabilidade, convêm perguntar: O valor adicionado líquido para distribuição, evidenciado através da DVA das companhias abertas que publicam a demonstração, é relevante para os investidores da Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo - BOVESPA? Buscar essa resposta é a proposta deste trabalho. Para tanto, utilizou-se de abordagem empírico-analítica para testar as hipóteses de pesquisa formuladas. A amostra de dados foi constituída pelas sociedades anônimas abertas que publicaram a DVA nos anos de 2000 a 2004. Para essa amostra de dados foi obtido o preço das ações quatro meses após o fechamento do exercício social (variável dependente), o valor adicionado líquido para distribuição por ação, o lucro líquido por ação e o patrimônio líquido por ação para os anos de 2000 a 2004 (variáveis independentes). A amostra final de dados foi constituída de 459 observações, sendo 202 para ações ordinárias e 257 para ações preferenciais. Todas variáveis foram ajustadas pelo preço da ação do período anterior. Os resultados dos testes empíricos demonstraram que o valor adicionado líquido para distribuição é relevante para os investidores do mercado de capitais, com grau de significância de 99%, o que confirma as evidências empíricas internacionais, entretanto, não houve um desempenho melhor tão evidente, medido pelo coeficiente R2, do valor adicionado líquido para distribuição sobre o lucro líquido e o patrimônio líquido, o que contraria as evidências empíricas internacionais. Quando se separou a amostra de dados entre as empresas com níveis diferenciados de governança corporativa da BOVESPA das demais empresas, observou-se que o poder explicativo do valor adicionado líquido para distribuição cresce de forma substancial nas empresas com níveis diferenciados de governança corporativa, especialmente no caso das ações preferenciais. Esses resultados demonstram a importância da DVA e contribuem para o debate acadêmico acerca da demonstração. / The objective of accounting is supply its users with relevant information to make useful decisions. However who are those users and which information are relevant? Under the focus of the Positive Accounting Theory, the users are the investors of financial markets and information is relevant when it has statistically association with prices or return of stocks. In Brazil, the mandatory preparation and publication of the Value Added Statement is close to near. Value Added Statement is a statement that demonstrates the generation of wealth of a company and how this wealth is distributed to several stakeholders and also to the stockholders. Therefore, it is a wider accounting statement than the Income Statement, because it is destined to several users. However, inside the perspectives of the Positive Accounting Theory a question seems to be necessary: The net value added generated by a company and disclosed in the Value Added Statement is relevant for the investors, or in other words, is relevant for financial markets? Look for an answer to this question is exactly what the present work intends to do. To do that, it was used an empiric-analytic approach to reach the objectives proposed for this study, and doing so, testing the research hypotheses related to the research problems proposed. The sample used was constituted by the public companies that published the Value Added Statement in the years 2000 to 2004. For this sample were obtained the price of the stocks four months after the closing of the fiscal year (dependent variable), the net value added for distribution, the net profit and the equity for the years from 2000 to 2004 (independent variables). After the process of discard of companies without data in the period, it was obtained a sample of data constituted by 459 firm-year observations, being 202 for common stocks and 257 for preferred stocks. All variables were considered by theirs per share value adjusted by the stock price of the previous year. The results of the empiric analysis demonstrated that the net value added for distribution is relevant to the financial market, with 99% degrees of significance, what confirms international empiric evidences presented in the theoretical framework, however, there?s not a better performance, measured for the coefficient R2 of the value added over net profit and equity, which goes contrary to international empirical evidences. When the sample was separated between companies with differentiated levels of corporate governance of BOVESPA of the other companies, it was observed that the explanatory power of the variable net value added for distribution increases enough in a general way for the ones, especially in the case of preferred stocks. Those results demonstrate the relevance of the Value Added Statement and contribute to the increase of the academic debate about this statement.

The administrative acts are events not directly linked to heritage itself, but that have the potential to affect it, such as contracts and guarantees. The Brazilian Government Accounting provides the record of this type of information in the memorandum accounts, which are among the groups balance sheet account, and during the process of NBCASP creating, a process that aims at the convergence of Brazilian standards with international standards, among many other matters, was treated in the manner of disclosure of administrative acts, and records kept in memorandum accounts and these remained within the Balance Sheet of the Brazilian public administration, even at odds with the provisions of IPSAS. It was found that so far there is no consensus as to how disclosure of such information, so the paper started with the assumption that there is opportunity for improvement. The objective of this research was to provide a proposal for the disclosure of the administrative acts, which more adequately disclose this type of information. To do this proposed demonstrative, was investigated the perception of TCU's user and the quality of information. The research methodology was through a qualitative approach, and data collection relied on literature and documentary, and finally the data were analyzed by using content analysis. Compared with the literature presented, the analysis revealed that information from the administrative acts of the Brazilian public administration is relevant to the TCU's user, however the form of disclosure needs to be modernized. The goal was achieved, therefore the demonstrative proposal will help to improve the disclosure of administrative acts. Because there is also demand for this type of control in private entities, for-profit or nonprofit, it is suggested that the demonstrative proposed to be applied in this study also for private companies. / O presente trabalho estudou a divulga????o dos atos de gest??o na administra????o p??blica brasileira, sendo este o objeto da pesquisa.

Occupying the top echelon of these discoveries albeit distinctive is mankind s ability to communicate with each other via gestures, mime, and speech. Precisely thus rooted on this historical landmark is the entirety of this work based. In addition communication is the backdrop by which ideas, discoveries and goals are conveyed. Each objective is unique and peculiar, subject to communication evolution as required respectively not dissimilar however from accounting. Just as scientists and researchers identify historical milestones, the field of accounting science also experience and witness evolution by means of communicating facts naturally in terms of binding, relevance and timeliness. Regardless of the classification, the information is useful only if it contains the attributes of importance to be defined by different types of users. With the purpose of obtaining the compliance of disclosure index (ECI), this study chose to attribute measurement and disclosure required in notes issued by companies in the airline industry, for the year 2011, members at forty-one (414) pronouncements technical, fifteen (15) interpretations and two guidelines (02) issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC). The methodology of applied research is characterized as qualitative and quantitative and documentary character. As a result of our analysis, the Disclosure Compliance Index was calculated as 76,98% and 76,59% for the TAM and 74,21% and 76,19% for the GOL company, which had 187 and 194 items and 192 and 193 items of disclosure of a total of 252 items required for the years 2010 and 2011 respectively. This paper hopes to contribute to future studies on the adoption of a new index for evaluation of companies in the capital market in Brazil compared with foreign companies that adopted IFRS related to the CPC's policies adopted in Brazil, where companies with a high rate of compliance the disclosure (ICE) have a lower risk and there was a decrease or absence of items volunteers, as expected the increase of the items required / Quando analisamos a evolu????o do Ser Humano, ao longo de sua hist??ria, podemos elencar muitas descobertas importantes. Dentre as muitas registradas, a mais importante ?? aquela que fez com que os homens pudessem, atrav??s dos gestos, m??micas e da fala se comunicarem uns com os outros. ?? exatamente neste marco hist??rico que este trabalho tem a sua raiz. Atrav??s da comunica????o conseguimos transmitir nossas ideias, nossas descobertas, nossos desejos e objetivos. Para cada objetivo existe uma maneira diferente de se comunicar e esta comunica????o precisa evoluir conforme as necessidades, e n??o seria diferente para a Ci??ncia Cont??bil. Assim como os cientistas e pesquisadores identificam marcos na hist??ria, na ??rea de atua????o das ci??ncias cont??beis tamb??m vivenciamos e presenciamos a evolu????o na forma de comunicar os fatos, classificando-os em obrigat??rios, n??o obrigat??rios, relevantes, n??o relevantes, tempestivos ou n??o tempestivos, ou seja, independente da classifica????o, a informa????o s?? ser?? ??til se ela contiver os atributos de import??ncia a ser definida pelos diferentes tipos de usu??rios. Com o prop??sito de auferir o ??ndice de conformidade de evidencia????o (ICE), este trabalho escolheu como atributos a mensura????o e a evidencia????o obrigat??rias publicadas nas notas explicativas das empresas do setor a??reo, referentes aos anos de 2010 e 2011, aderentes aos quarenta e um (41) pronunciamentos t??cnicos (CPC), quinze (15) interpreta????es (ICPC) e duas (02) orienta????es (OCPC), emitidos pelo Comit?? de Pronunciamentos Cont??beis (CPC). A Metodologia da pesquisa aplicada caracteriza-se como quali-quantitativa e de car??ter documental. Como resultado da nossa an??lise, o ??ndice de Conformidade de Evidencia????o apurado foi de 76,98% e 76,59% para a empresa TAM e 74,21% e 76,19% para a empresa GOL, que apresentaram 187 e 194 itens e 192 e 193 itens de evidencia????o de um total de 252 itens obrigat??rios para o ano de 2010 e 2011 respectivamente. Este trabalho espera contribuir para futuros estudos sobre a ado????o de um novo ??ndice para avalia????o das empresas no mercado de capitais no Brasil em compara????o com empresas no exterior que adotaram as IFRS s correlacionadas aos CPC s adotados no Brasil, se as empresas com um alto ??ndice de conformidade de evidencia????o (ICE) possuem riscos menores e se houve uma diminui????o ou n??o dos itens volunt??rios, uma vez que se espera o aumento dos itens obrigat??rios
