O seu objetivo é identificar os principais temas de pesquisa desenvolvidos no contexto do Brasil e os resultados de interesse para usuários, reguladores e preparadores das demonstrações financeiras.

Enquanto tema de pesquisa acadêmica, o gerenciamento de resultados revela-se num tópico diversificado e vasto, embora relativamente recente. A maioria dos estudos brasileiros no assunto foi publicada nos últimos dez anos e a produção científica tem se acelerado recentemente, o que torna oportuno uma reflexão sobre o estado da arte, esboçando a evolução do conhecimento e caminhos a serem trilhados no futuro.
