Purpose: The objective of this research is to analyze the level of disclosure and the characteristics of publicly traded Brazilian companies in relation to non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Methodology: To analyze the level of disclosure, a checklist was created based on CPC 31 (2009). This study is classified as documentary, considering that the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Income for the Year of the companies included in the sample were analyzed. The problem approach was qualitative. The sample consists of all companies in Brazil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) that presented non-current assets held for sale (NCAHS) and / or discontinued operations (DO) in 2018, which corresponds to 67 companies divided into 10 operating sectors. The characteristics analyzed were: sector of activity, corporate governance, profitability, auditing company, and shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Results: The results suggest that companies that fall under the New Market, have negative profitability and trade shares on the NYSE tend, on average, to perform a higher level of disclosure of NCAHS and DO. The sectors with the highest concentration of NCAHS and DO were Industrial Goods and Cyclic Consumption, both comprising 16 companies out of 67 in the sample. The nature of NCAHS that stood out the most were the subsidiaries, with 49% representativeness. It was observed that companies still need to improve their disclosure, as the sample average was 44%. Contributions of the Study: The realization of the present investigation contributes in the sense that the accounting practice pertaining to NCAHS and DO is relatively recent in Brazil and many academics may still have doubts about the subject, considering that the accounting pronouncement CPC 31 brought new disclosure procedures. In this sense, this research contributes towards presenting the way in which Brazilian public companies are showing NCAHS and DO in an updated context, demonstrating that they need to improve the level of information disclosed to fully comply with CPC 31.

Purpose: This article then aims to ascertain the level of accounting disclosure required under the IFRS 16 in publicly traded companies in B3, more precisely in the non-cyclical consumer segment. Methodology: With a qualitative method, an analysis is made of the information provided in the financial statements of the target companies of the study on leasing operations. Results: It is concluded that, until now, the vast majority of companies have not yet adapted to the level of disclosure exposed in the new technical standard, disclosing little more than half of the items arranged, generating a concern for the lack of information that may be key, with room for improvement in this regard. Contributions of the study: The results of the present study contribute to the understanding of the application of accounting disclosure on leasing operations in Brazil, in light of the recent entry of the new regulation that brought new items for disclosure compared to the previous standard.

Despite the development of studies on social and environmental disclosure by the scientific community, little progress has been made on the incorporation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) as elements of disclosure, whether endogenous (size and level of corporate governance) and exogenous factors (investments in sustainable portfolios and internationalization) affect the level of disclosure of the SDGs differently, if there is a direct and indirect influence of these factors on performance. In this perspective, this research aims to analyze whether exogenous and endogenous factors and disclosure related to the SDGs affect performance in public companies listed in Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão - [B]³. To this end, quantitative research was carried out, of a descriptive nature and by means of documentary data collection in sustainability reports/integrated reports and Economatica database, in the period from 2016 to 2018. Based on the reports, a content analysis was performed, obtaining the number of words associated with the SDGs, from which the disclosure level index originated. Furthermore, the analysis and validation of the data took place through the use of multiple linear regression and other pertinent statistical techniques. The results indicate that endogenous and exogenous factors and the disclosure of SDGs influence the Market-to-Book of companies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This research aims to identify characteristics associated with the level of disclosure of revenues from contracts with clients in Brazilian publicly traded companies. Methodology: Aiming to measure the level of disclosure, a checklist was prepared based on the disclosure requirements set forth by CPC 47. Subsequently, the accompanying notes to the financial statements of 309 companies listed on the Brazil, Bolsa and Balcão Stock Exchange (B3) were analyzed. The characteristics used to analyze possible association with the level of disclosure of revenues from customer contracts were: net revenue amount, business sector, corporate governance level, auditing company and Brazilian companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The research is classified as qualitative, descriptive and the data was obtained through documentary. Results: The results showed that companies disclosure is relatively low on most checklist items. Regarding the characteristics analyzed, the sector that presented the highest average level of disclosure was telecommunications. Companies participating in any of the corporate governance segments, those audited by the Big Four and those that are listed on the NYSE, indicated, in the sample analyzed, a tendency to associate with the level of disclosure. Regarding the value of net revenue, it was found that companies with higher net revenues had a higher level of disclosure of revenues from contracts with customers. Contributions of the Study: This research contributes to the accounting disclosure theme, as it demonstrates how Brazilian publicly traded companies are disclosing their revenues from customer contracts by adopting CPC pronouncement 47.

Managers have discretion over the timing of accounting information disclosure; existing literature has investigated the potential determinants regarding this choice. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether the type of accounting information is a factor that influences the anticipation of its disclosure to external users. The dataset comprises information provided by Brazilian companies listed on the Brasil Bolsa Balcão (B3) between 2010 and 2016. The research employed linear regression and the logistic regression model to evaluate whether type of news is a determinant for the timing of financial disclosures. Empirical evidence indicates that the nature of information (i.e., good or bad news) is related to the time taken (i.e., postponement or anticipation) in disclosing quarterly accounting figures of companies. Overall, our results contribute to the disclosure literature in Brazil and indicate that postponements are associated with the disclosure of negative news. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scenario of international accounting convergence leads Brazilian organizations to a new reality of informational challenge, the disclosure of management information, for example, the segmental information. The aim of this work is to verify how the management information are disclosure in the note published for segmental information in the companies listed in the IBrX-50. Findings demonstrate (i) the disclosure is different among sectors, (ii) there is a low level of management information disclosure. These variables may be an indicative of an attempt to hide the inefficiency of managers, or deletion of information as informational barrier for new competitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to verify the existence of an association between disclosure of information on derivative financial instruments and the economic attributes of Brazilian public companies. Data were collected from standard financial reports issued by 75 firms listed in the "Differentiated Levels of Corporate Governance" segment of the BM&FBovespa stock market. Initially, using documental research, information was identified regarding derivative financial instruments the companies disclosed. The metrics adopted were based on the parameters established in the CPC 14 accounting standard (Financial instruments: recognition, measurement and disclosure). The preliminary analysis showed that none of the firms in the sample disclosed all the required items, and that only 11 of the 30 items were disclosed by over 50% of the firms. Subsequently, the association between company attributes and the level of disclosure was tested with Correspondence Analysis. 'Size' and 'Earnings'- but not "Debt" and "Profitability" - were significantly and positively associated with disclosure of information on derivative financial instruments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

All over the world, there have been discussions on transparency and quality in the disclosure of accounting information. Aiming at contributing towards this debate, this study seeks to answer the following research question: What are the perceived changes in the disclosure of mandatory, non-mandatory and advanced accounting reporting experienced by companies in Brazil? Financial statements from 95 companies were assessed, referring to corporate annual reports of 2002 and from 119 companies referring to corporate annual reports of 2005. Concerning items recommended in rules numbers 15/87, 17/89 and 19/90 by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, this research reveals that there was no improvement in the disclosure practices of the companies under analysis. As to advanced and non-mandatory accounting information, proposed by corporate governance practices, an increase in their disclosure was observed, with companies giving special attention to the publication of their social responsibility practices and Corporate Social Reporting, Cash Flow Statements and Statements of Value Added.

This empirical-analytical study investigates the role of accounting as a source of information to the Brazilian capital market. It aims to verify whether the accounting disclosure level provided by Brazilian entities is related to the volatility of their share prices on Bovespa (Brazilian Stock Exchange). Entities with greater accounting disclosure level are expected to present lower volatility of their stock returns. To analyze the relation between disclosure level and stock price volatility, we collected information published by 42 companies listed on Ibovespa, using the annual reports for 2002. After segregating these companies into three different groups in accordance with their specific disclosure level, using cluster analysis, we statistically verified the existence or not of significant differences between their disclosure and stock price volatility levels. The analyses indicated that the companies with better average accounting disclosure presented lower mean volatility levels, while the cluster with worse average disclosure presented higher mean volatility levels. This evidences that higher average disclosure levels result in lower mean volatility of stock returns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
