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 cost of mining companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) have not been immune to inflationary pressures. Increasing cost pressures, lower grades, and reduced electricity supply imply that management will have to apply rigorous cost saving measures to mitigate the effect on profits. One such measure is value based management (VBM). VBM is a powerful management framework with the aim to focus all managerial processes on shareholder wealth creation. It therefore encourages all staff levels within the organisation to focus on value creation. Various metrics have been developed to measure the value creation process within the organisation. Discounted cash flow to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital lies at the heart of these metrics. Through the use of value mapping, underlying value drivers are linked to the overall strategy of value creation. While value-based management is used to increase shareholder value, one of the serious drawbacks is the short-term focus on immediate results to the detriment of long-term sustainable competitive advantage. A quantitative study was done on the mining sector to determine if investors can use productivity as a value based management measurement to predict share price movement. The results from this study indicate that productivity measures do not influence share price. Productivity is good for determining shareholder value, but not adequate for determining stock performance. Even though it was found that investors do not rely on productivity measures, companies should still focus on creating value for the shareholders. It is beneficial to investors to understand what value based management is, and to understand management actions in terms of value creation. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2010.

This dissertation deals with the effect of value-added tax on small to medium-sized developers of residential properties in South Africa. Firstly, the way value-added tax is applied to residential properties in South Africa was established. It was ascertained that no special concessions exist with regard to housing. Secondly, the application of value-added tax to residential properties in the United Kingdom was discussed. It was ascertained that supplies relating to new residential premises are zero-rated. Thirdly, the application of goods and services tax to residential properties in Canada was discussed. Canadian goods and services tax and harmonious sales tax legislation contains a broad range of special concessions relating to residential property developments. The harmonious sales tax which applies in some provinces, is a combination of goods and services tax and a provincial sales tax. Fourthly, the way goods and services tax is applied to residential property developments in Australia was determined. Australian legislation provides for a margin scheme to be applied to the development of residential properties. In terms of the margin scheme, goods and services tax is payable on the basis of profit rather than turnover. Transfer duty as applied in South Africa was examined as an alternative to the value-added tax being applied on residential properties developed by developers registered for value-added tax purposes. The legislation with regard to developers of residential properties registered for value-added tax, goods and services tax and harmonious sales tax purposes was measured against the principles of taxation. On the basis of these results, an alternative to the current application of value-added tax relating to developers registered for value-added tax purposes in South Africa was proposed that would be in line with that of the selected countries. / Economics / M.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é apresentar uma ferramenta alternativa ao valor econômico adicionado na mensuração da performance empresarial correlacionada com o valor de mercado. Na revisão da literatura apresenta-se o conceito de estrutura e custo de capital, utilizando a metodologia do CAPM e do APT. São igualmente apresentadas as principais medidas financeiras de desempenho tais como: retorno operacional sobre o investimento, retorno sobre o patrimônio liquido, retorno sobre os ativos, além de outras formas para cálculo do retorno. Na sequência introduzimos o conceito de lucro residual e o valor econômico adicionado, discutindo suas vantagens, desvantagens, dificuldades e limitações dessa ferramenta. Através do EVA podemos calcular o valor de mercado adicionado, fundamental para o cálculo do valor patrimonial ajustado. Também é apresentado nessa obra a interpretação do EVA pela ótica do modelo Fleuriet de planejamento financeiro. Após essa explanação teórica é apresentado o Financial Value Added proposto por esse trabalho, como alternativa ao Valor Econômico Adicionado na mensuração do desempenho empresarial. Essa ferramenta exclui da base de cálculo as receitas e despesas econômicas, uma vez que as mesmas em alguns casos distorcem o resultado como é constatado no teste com as empresas: Sadia S.A. e Perdigão S.A. onde os resultados foram 54% na Sadia e 13% na Perdigão superiores ao EVA. Em nenhum momento argumenta-se a substituição do EVA, apenas a introdução do FVA como alternativa nos casos em que o EVA não funcione adequadamente.
