Previous issue date: 2006-06-19 / The recording of contingencies by listed companies in Brazil and in the USA, especially the taxable ones, has been troublesome, because there are no clear normative criteria to classify their risk in remote, possible and probable contingencies. It has also been troublesome because of the laborious adequation of financial statements to the accounting norms established by these two countries. Consequently, this has resulted in asymmetrical information. As there is a Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) established norm, the problem of the asymmetrical information could be overcame concerning registered companies in different capital markets, regarding the obligation of synchronizing the Brazilian statements and financial information with the American ones. Therefore, it is intended with this work to analyze the financial statements content of listed companies in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and in the S??o Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA), relating to the recording of taxable contingencies, aiming to detect the existence of asymmetrical information. To reach such an objective, it has been applied the content analysis method in a financial statements sample of 30 (thirty) listed companies in the NYSE and in the BOVESPA. It was verified that 20 (twenty) companies have presented higher disclosure levels of taxable contingencies in the USA in relation to Brazil, 5 (five) have presented higher disclosure levels of taxable contingencies in Brazil in relation to the USA and 5 (five) have presented the same disclosure levels of taxable contingencies in both countries. These results show that the financial statements adequation process to the accounting norms established by the USA and Brazil and the use of subjective nature terms, such as remote, possible or probable, might expose the investor to incomplete information, which might lead him to take wrong decisions. Such statement has justified the elaboration of suggestions to record the taxable contingencies in the Brazilian law, which could be applied to handle the normative criteria fragility to classify the risk. This work could guide regulators agencies in the capital market, agencies interested in the international accounting convergence, solicitors, financial statements personnel and auditors, as it reveals vital aspects to be considered in the financial statements accounting treatment of taxable contingencies. In addition, this work could provide elements to improve the financial statements transparency and consistency. / The recording of contingencies by listed companies in Brazil and in the USA, especially the taxable ones, has been troublesome, because there are no clear normative criteria to classify their risk in remote, possible and probable contingencies.

Tamb??m tem sido problem??tica devido ?? laboriosa adequa????o das demonstra????es financeiras ??s normas cont??beis estabelecidas pelos dois pa??ses, o que tem gerado uma assimetria informacional. Ocorre que devido ?? exist??ncia de uma norma da Comiss??o de Valores Mobili??rios poderia estar superado o problema da assimetria informacional no caso de empresas registradas em diferentes mercados de capitais, ante a obriga????o de sincronizar as demonstra????es e informa????es financeiras aqui divulgadas com as divulgadas no exterior. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o conte??do das demonstra????es financeiras das companhias abertas listadas na Bolsa de Valores de Nova York, a "New York Stock Exchange" (NYSE) e na Bolsa de Valores de S??o Paulo (BOVESPA), referente ?? contabiliza????o de conting??ncias tribut??rias, no intuito de constatar a exist??ncia da assimetria informacional. Para alcan??ar a consecu????o desse objetivo, foi utilizado o m??todo de an??lise de conte??do em uma amostra de demonstra????es financeiras de 30 (trinta) companhias listadas na NYSE e na BOVESPA. Verificou-se que 20 (vinte) apresentaram n??veis de evidencia????o de conting??ncias tribut??rias maiores nos Estados Unidos que no Brasil, 5 (cinco) apresentaram n??veis de evidencia????o de conting??ncias tribut??rias maiores no Brasil que nos Estados Unidos e 5 (cinco) apresentaram o mesmo n??vel de evidencia????o de conting??ncias tribut??rias nesses pa??ses. Esses resultados confirmam que o processo de adequa????o das demonstra????es financeiras ??s normas cont??beis estabelecidas pelos dois pa??ses e a utiliza????o de termos de natureza subjetiva, tais como remotas, poss??veis ou prov??veis, podem expor o investidor a informa????es incompletas, que podem eventualmente lev??-lo a decis??es equivocadas. Tal constata????o justificou a elabora????o de sugest??es para a contabiliza????o das conting??ncias tribut??rias no ambiente legal brasileiro que podem ser empregadas para lidar com a fragilidade dos crit??rios normativos para a classifica????o do risco. Esta pesquisa poder?? nortear ??rg??os reguladores do mercado de capitais, ??rg??os interessados na converg??ncia cont??bil internacional, advogados, preparadores das demonstra????es financeiras e auditores, na medida em que descortina aspectos relevantes que dever??o ser considerados no tratamento cont??bil das conting??ncias tribut??rias. Al??m disso, esta pesquisa pode fornecer elementos para a melhoria na transpar??ncia e consist??ncia das demonstra????es financeiras
