Resumo: | The accounting goes through a convergence’s process to the international financial accounting standards, due to the expansion of multinational relation and capital market. Furthermore, it is know that characteristics cultural, economic and social influence the decision of a nation, then it is expect that the reaction of each country against the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will be different, depending on their characteristics. Thus, this research purpose investigates the influence of culture, society and economy of the countries in the decision of adoption or not the IFRS. To do so, using metrics such as a dimensions of Hofstede and data of population size, GDP per capita e HDI, it was found that the decision has statistically significant relationship with population size and two cultural dimensions, the individualism and the uncertainty avoidance. The negative relationship with population size was expected, because the counties with more population have not adopted the standard, which suggests satisfied with their accounting or high cost of implementation the new rule. The positive relationship with uncertainty avoidance was also expected, because the harmonization of accounting minimizes opportunistic attitude of managers, increasing the credibility of the information. However, the relationship with individualism was not expected, what can be inferring that this dimension has lack credibility or that this variable does not show adequately the cultural gap existing. |

En relación con esto, se sabe de la influencia cultural, económica y social de una nación en sus decisiones, entonces se espera que la reacción de cada país en la adopción de las normas internacionales de contabilidad (IFRS) es diferente, dependiendo de sus características. Por lo tanto, este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la influencia de las características culturales, sociales y económicos del países en la decisión de adopción del IFRS. Con este fin, utilizando métricas como las dimensiones de Hofstede y los dados de tamaño de población, de PIB per cápita y del IDH, se constató que la adopción tiene relación estadísticamente significativa con el tamaño de la población y con dos dimensiones culturales, el individualismo y la aversión a la incertidumbre / ambigüedad. La relación negativa encontrada con la población es el esperado, porque los países muy poblados en realidad no han adoptado la norma, lo que sugiere satisfecho con su contable o alto costo de la aplicación de la nueva regla. Una relación positiva con La aversión a la incertidumbre también se esperaba, dado que la armonización de la contabilidad reduce al mínimo la actitud oportunista, lo que aumenta la credibilidad de la información. Como la relación con individualismo no se esperaba, se puede inferir una falta de credibilidad de la dimensione o esta variable no muestra adecuadamente la brecha cultural existente entre los países.A contabilidade passa por um processo de convergência às normas internacionais de contabilidade, decorrente da expansão das relações multinacionais e do mercado de capitais. Atrelado a isso, sabe-se que características culturais, econômicas e sociais de uma nação influenciam nas suas decisões; logo é de se esperar que a reação de cada país frente à adoção das normas internacionais de contabilidade (IFRS) seja diferente, dependendo de suas características. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetiva verificar a influência das diferenças culturais, econômicas e sociais dos países na decisão de adoção das IFRS. Para tal, utilizando como métricas as dimensões de Hofstede e dados de tamanho da população, de PIB per capita e de IDH, verificou-se que a adoção possui relação estatisticamente significante com o tamanho da população e com duas dimensões culturais, sendo elas o grau de individualismo e a aversão à incertezas/ambiguidades. A relação negativa encontrada com a população corroborou com o esperado, pois de fato países populosos não adotaram a norma, o que sugere satisfação com sua contabilidade ou alto custo de implementação da nova regra. A relação positiva com o grau de aversão à incerteza também era esperado, haja vista que a harmonização contábil minimiza discricionariedades dos gestores, aumentando a credibilidade da informação. Já a relação não esperada para individualismo, permite inferir falta de credibilidade da dimensão ou ainda que tal variável não evidencie adequadamente a diferença cultural existente.Universidade Regional de Blumenau2014-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/3820Revista Universo Contábil; v. 10 n. 1 (2014); 104-1251809-33371809-3337reponame:Revista Universo Contábilinstname:Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)instacron:FURBporhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/3820/2574Copyright (c) 2014 Revista Universo Contábilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Melina CarneiroNakao, Sílvio Hiroshi2014-04-14T11:11:29Zoai:ojs.bu.furb.br:article/3820Revistahttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/PUBhttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/oai||universocontabil@furb.br1809-33371809-3337opendoar:2014-04-14T11:11:29Revista Universo Contábil - Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)false |
