Resumo: | The main goal of this study is to analyze the evolution of the magnitude and relevance of impairment losses on account receivables at Euronext Lisbon companies, given the recent financial crisis that has devastated our country. The study follows a longitudinal approach, based on the direct collection and content analysis of consolidated financial statements of the Euronext Lisbon listed companies, from 2005 to 2014.From the empirical study, we’ve concluded that the impairments on accounts receivable have a greater magnitude as well as greater relevance in the financial statements during crisis periods. We also concluded that the smaller companies recognize more impairments when compared to the biggest ones. We also found big bath practice indications, because it was mainly in the worst financial performance years that the recognition of impairment losses on receivables affected negatively the companies’ results. |

The magnitude and relevance of impairment losses on account receivables at Euronext Lisbon companiesA magnitude e relevância das imparidades em contas a receber nas empresas da Euronext LisbonThe main goal of this study is to analyze the evolution of the magnitude and relevance of impairment losses on account receivables at Euronext Lisbon companies, given the recent financial crisis that has devastated our country.

O estudo segue uma abordagem longitudinal, assentando na recolha direta e análise de conteúdo dos relatórios e contas consolidados das empresas com valores cotados na Euronext Lisbon, no período de 2005 a 2014. Do estudo empírico realizado, concluímos que as imparidades em dívidas a receber têm uma maior magnitude e relevância nas demonstrações financeiras nos períodos de crise, e que são as empresas de menor dimensão as que reconhecem mais imparidades. Encontramos, ainda, indícios da prática de big bath, porquanto foi nos anos de pior desempenho financeiro que o reconhecimento das perdas por imparidade em dívidas a receber mais afetou negativamente os resultados das empresas da amostra.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração da Universidade de Aveiro2019-03-21T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/ei.v0i16.1171oai:proa.ua.pt:article/1171Estudos do ISCA; No 16 (2017)Estudos do ISCA; n.º 16 (2017)1646-48500873-2019reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/estudosdoisca/article/view/1171https://doi.org/10.34624/ei.v0i16.1171https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/estudosdoisca/article/view/1171/958https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNeves, DanielaCarvalho, Carla2022-09-22T16:24:05Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/1171Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:59:23.056927Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
