Resumo: Objective: This research investigated possible impression management practices in Brazilian football clubs’ financial reports. Method: Impression management was analyzed based on the information omission and obfuscation (text readability) and the textual sentiment of financial reports disclosed by the top 30 Brazilian football clubs from 2018 to 2021. Originality/Relevance: This study contributes to Brazilian football clubs’ stakeholders by offering data about transparency in the disclosure of economic and financial information. The research alerts to possible manipulation by the administration of football clubs when using impression management in financial reports. Results: The financial reports analyzed presented poor readability, which indicates possible information obfuscation. The textual sentiment – measured through the positive and negative tone adopted in the reports – showed relative dissonance with the economic-financial result. For example, one of the clubs used a positive tone in the text while presenting a negative accounting result. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: The study addresses the narrative portrayed in financial reports disclosed by Brazilian football clubs, a sector that generates many direct and indirect jobs. The sector represents an important part of the entertainment industry and is responsible for billionaire transactions.

Método: Analisou-se o gerenciamento de impressão a partir da omissão e ofuscação de informações (legibilidade do texto) e do sentimento textual dos relatórios contábeis divulgados pelos 30 principais clubes durante o período de 2018 a 2021. Originalidade/Relevância: Este estudo contribui para os stakeholders dos clubes brasileiros de futebol, informando sobre a transparência na divulgação das informações econômico-financeiras e sobre a existência de possíveis manipulações do seu comportamento, exploradas pelos gestores dos clubes de futebol, a partir da utilização do gerenciamento de impressão nos relatórios. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram, em relação ao gerenciamento de impressão, que os textos dos relatórios divulgados pelos clubes apresentaram nível de dificuldade de leitura alto, o que indica possível ofuscação de informações. Já o sentimento textual, medido por meio do tom positivo e negativo, apresentou relativa dissonância com o resultado econômico-financeiro, em que um dos clubes apresentou tom positivo no texto, mas com um resultado contábil negativo. Contribuições Teóricas/Metodológicas: O estudo aborda a narrativa presente nos relatórios contábeis dos clubes brasileiros de futebol, setor que gera empregos diretos e indiretos, além de movimentar a indústria do entretenimento, em que são realizadas transações bilionárias, capazes de gerar cifras expressivas.Contabilidade Gestão e Governança2023-03-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistacgg.org/index.php/contabil/article/view/297610.51341/cgg.v25i3.2976Journal of Accounting, Management and Governance; Vol. 25 No. 3 (2022); 506-523Contabilidade Gestão e Governança; v. 25 n. 3 (2022); 506-5231984-392510.51341/cgg.v25i3reponame:Contabilidade, Gestão e Governançainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporenghttps://revistacgg.org/index.php/contabil/article/view/2976/785https://revistacgg.org/index.php/contabil/article/view/2976/786Copyright (c) 2022 Vanessa de Menêses Silva, Fábio Minatto, José Alonso Borbainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Menêses Silva, Vanessa Minatto, FábioAlonso Borba, José2023-07-18T14:58:29Zoai:oai.jamg.cloud:article/2976Revistahttp://www.revistacgg.org/index.php/contabilPUBhttps://revistacgg.org/index.php/contabil/oaijamg.cgg@gmail.com1516-70111984-3925opendoar:2023-07-18T14:58:29Contabilidade, Gestão e Governança - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
