Resumo: We study conditional conservatism in earnings reported by Brazilian financial institutions. We expected that conditional conservatism is differentiated concerning state-owned and private banks. Basu (1997) earnings transitory components reversion model and Ball and Shivakumar (2005) accruals-based model were applied to test the conditional conservatism hypothesis of Brazilian banks reported earnings. We also tested evidences that Brazilian state-owned banks reported earnings are more conservative than Brazilian private banks reported earnings. Data embedded 260 banks from 1997 to 2010. Regression coefficients were obtained from estimators based on GMM System to deal with endogeneity regressores problem. Although Brazilian economic and institutional environment does not stimulate accounting informational quality, findings evidences rejected the first research hypothesis. Furthermore state-owned banks managers asymmetrically anticipate expected losses recognition, reporting more conservative earnings, aiming probably to reduce litigation risk exposure with government agencies. So, these evidences did not reject the second research hypothesis.

El artículo analiza la presencia del conservadurismo condicional en los beneficios reportados por las instituciones financieras en Brasil, y examina si esta característica se diferencia entre los bancos estatales y bancos privados. El modelo de regresión de componentes transitorios de resultados propuesta por Basu (1997) y el modelo basado en accruals, desarrollado por Ball y Shivakumar (2005, 2006), se han aplicado para detectar la presencia del conservadurismo condicional en los beneficios reportados por los bancos brasileños. También, se ha probado si los beneficios reportados por los bancos estatales son más conservadores que los reportados por los bancos privados. Los datos contienen 260 bancos que cubren el período de 1997 a 2010. Los coeficientes del modelo se estimaron por el Sistema de GMM, para el tratamiento de la endogeneidade de los regressores. A pesar del entorno económico e institucional no favorecer la calidad informativa de los estados financieros del reporte contable brasileño, no se ha confirmado la hipótesis primera de investigación. Además, los directores de bancos estatales anticipan el reconocimiento de las pérdidas no realizadas, informando estados financieros más conservadores, probablemente para reducir la exposición al riesgo de litigios con los organismos de control del Gobierno; por lo tanto, los resultados no apoyan el rechazo de la segunda hipótesis. O artigo investiga a presença de conservadorismo condicional nos lucros reportados pelas instituições financeiras no Brasil, e examina se essa característica é diferenciada entre bancos estatais e bancos privados. O modelo de reversão de componentes transitórios do lucro proposto por Basu (1997) e o modelo de acumulações contábeis, desenvolvido por Ball e Shivakumar (2005, 2006), foram aplicados para testar a presença de conservadorismo condicional nos lucros reportados pelos bancos brasileiros. Também, se testou se os lucros reportados pelos bancos estatais são mais conservadores do que os reportados pelos bancos privados. Os dados comportam 260 bancos abrangendo o período de 1997 a 2010. Os coeficientes dos modelos foram estimados pelo método GMM Sistêmico, para tratamento da endogeneidade dos regressores. Apesar de o ambiente econômico e institucional brasileiro não incentivar a qualidade informacional das demonstrações contábeis, não se confirmou a primeira hipótese de pesquisa. Ademais, os gestores dos bancos estatais antecipam o reconhecimento de perdas não realizadas, reportando demonstrações contábeis mais conservadoras, provavelmente para reduzir a exposição ao risco de litígio com órgãos de controle do Governo; os achados, portanto não suportam a rejeição da segunda hipótese.
