Resumo: As time went on, people acknowledged that the accounting value of an organization differs from its market value and that this gap stems, in part, from the difficulty of recognition and measurement of intangible assets. Intellectual capital encompasses also the intangible assets that are not recognized due to the fact that they do not satisfy the conditions of the applied accounting standards. Yet, they create value. Therefore, its disclosure is relevant. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the practices of intellectual capital information disclosure of the organizations in the selected sample and its determinants. We highlight the role of theory in explaining the voluntary disclosure of this specific type of information. We used content analysis to collect the data about intellectual capital and to develop the descriptive and statistical analysis. We tested the relationship between size, industry, age and debt ratio of each organization and the level of disclosure about intellectual capital and its components. We applied logistic regression to validate the hypotheses. Based on the sample composed by fourteen listed companies in Euronext Lisbon in 2009, we noticed that the sign of the relationship between the explanatory variables and those which have been explained is, generally, positive. However, we found out a small number of statistically significant relationships. The results of content analysis show that the organizations studied emphasize intellectual capital information.

Esto también incluye, intangibles que no son reconocidos por no cumplieren con los requisitos del normativo aplicable, todavía crean valor. De ahí la importancia de la divulgación. El objetivo principal de este estudio es analizar las practicas y los determinantes de la divulgación de información sobre capital intelectual pelas organizaciones en la muestra. También destacar el papel de la teoría en un intento de explicar la revelación voluntaria de información. Usamos el análisis de contenido para recopilar datos sobre el capital intelectual. Pusimos a prueba la relación entre el tamaño, sector, edad y la proporción de deuda y el nivel de difusión de información de cada organización sobre capital intelectual y sus componentes (capital humano, capital estructural y capital relacional). Se aplicó la regresión logística para validar las hipótesis. En base en una muestra de catorce compañías cotizadas en Euronext Lisboa en 2009, encontramos, en la mayoría de los casos, la señal positiva de las relaciones entre las variables explicativas y explicadas. Sin embargo, se ha encontrado un reducido número de relaciones estadísticamente significativas. Todavía, a través de los resultados del análisis de contenido, se encontró que las organizaciones bajo estudio demuestran la importancia dada a la información sobre capital intelectual.. Uma das principais razões para esse gap parece residir na dificuldade de reconhecimento e mensuração do capital intelectual. Este engloba, também, intangíveis que não são reconhecidos na contabilidade, por não cumprirem os requisitos do normativo aplicável, mas que criam valor. Daí a relevância da sua divulgação. O objetivo principal deste estudo é a análise das práticas e determinantes da divulgação de informação sobre capital intelectual por parte das organizações da amostra. Destaca-se, ainda, o papel da teoria na tentativa de explicação da divulgação voluntária deste tipo de informação. Utiliza-se a análise de conteúdo para proceder à recolha de dados sobre capital intelectual. Testa-se a relação entre a dimensão, o setor de atividade, a idade e o coeficiente de endividamento de cada organização e o nível de divulgação de informação relativa ao capital intelectual e os seus componentes (capital humano, capital relacional e capital estrutural). Aplica-se a regressão logística para validar as hipóteses. Verifica-se, com base numa amostra composta por catorze empresas com títulos cotados na bolsa de Lisboa em 2009 que o sinal das relações entre as variáveis explicativas e as explicadas é, na maioria dos casos, positivo. Contudo, foi reduzido o número de relações estatisticamente significativas encontradas. No entanto, através dos resultados da análise de conteúdo, constata-se que as organizações em estudo evidenciam o relevo dado à informação sobre capital intelectual.Universidade Regional de Blumenau2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/330110.4270/ruc.20139Revista Universo Contábil; v. 9 n. 2 (2013); 174-1941809-33371809-3337reponame:Revista Universo Contábilinstname:Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)instacron:FURBporhttps://ojsrevista.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/article/view/3301/2352Copyright (c) 2014 Revista Universo Contábilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCruz, Juliana Catarina SantosAlves, Maria Teresa Venâncio Dores2013-06-30T18:34:27Zoai:ojs.bu.furb.br:article/3301Revistahttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/PUBhttps://proxy.furb.br/ojs/index.php/universocontabil/oai||universocontabil@furb.br1809-33371809-3337opendoar:2013-06-30T18:34:27Revista Universo Contábil - Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB)false
