In dit artikel wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek naar de mate waarin Nederlandse ondernemingen met een beursnotering in de Verenigde Staten de United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) toepassen in hun in Nederland gepubliceerde jaarrekening. Daartoe is onderzocht in hoeverre deze ondernemingen in de periode 1995-2002 grondslagwijzigingen hebben doorgevoerd die leiden tot het (meer) toepassen van US GAAP en is nagegaan wat de belangrijkste verschillen tussen US GAAP en de Nederlandse verslaggevingsregels zijn zoals die blijken uit de jaarrekening 2002. Bovendien omvat het onderzoek een vergelijking van de additionele informatieverschaffing in de in Nederland gepubliceerde jaarrekening 2002 en de jaarrekening 2002 zoals opgenomen in het Form 20-F dat bij de Securities and Exchange Commission is gedeponeerd. De onderzoeksresultaten worden vergeleken met eerder soortgelijk onderzoek. Hoewel de in het onderzoek betrokken ondernemingen meer en meer waarderings- en resultaatbepalingsgrondslagen toepassen die in overeenstemming zijn met US GAAP, wordt het aantal in de aansluitingsoverzichten opgenomen afwijkingen tussen de cijfers op basis van US GAAP en die op basis van de Nederlandse verslaggevingsregels niet kleiner, maar juist groter. Daarnaast blijkt dat veel additionele informatie die in de Verenigde Staten verplicht is, ook steeds vaker terechtkomt in de in Nederland gepubliceerde jaarrekening.

International Reporting Standards (IFRS) has become the required framework for most of the world financial market economies. In the United States, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is still required. However, plans are presently in place by the SEC to abandon US GAAP and to adhere to IFRS requirements by as early as the period ending December 31, 2014. This case study requires the student to transform a US GAAP presented Balance Sheet to IFRS and is most suitable for an Intermediary Accounting 11 and a Financial Analysis class at the graduate level.

De roep om een wereldstandaard voor de financiële verslaggeving is groot. De Europese Unie heeft gekozen voor de International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) die in 2005 worden ingevoerd, terwijl de Verenigde Staten blijven vasthouden aan de United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). Dit artikel gaat in op de implementatie van de IFRS in de Europese Unie en de obstakels die een consistente interpretatie en toepassing van de IFRS in de weg kunnen staan. Daarna worden de IFRS vergeleken met de US GAAP en komt de positie van de IFRS in de Verenigde Staten aan de orde. In een korte slotbeschouwing wordt een drietal scenario’s geschetst om te komen tot een wereldstandaard. Het scenario waarbij de IFRS en de US GAAP naar elkaar toegroeien, lijkt, gegeven de omstandigheden, het meest realistisch en wenselijk (convergentiestrategie).

Minden vállalkozás számára rendkívül fontos, hogy rövid-, illetve hosszútávon fizetőképes legyen. A fizetőképesség egy vállalat működésének alapfeltétele, így különösen a rövidtávú fizetőképesség, másnéven a likviditás kiemelt fontosságú szerepet tölt be az adott vállalkozás életében. Éppen emiatt fontos arra törekednie, hogy elkerülje a likviditási problémákat. Jelen cikkben egy amerikai nagyvállalat rövidtávú fizetőképességének vizsgálatára kerül sor, amely a pénzügyi kimutatásait a US GAAP (The United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – az Amerikai Egyesült Államok Általánosan Elfogadott Számviteli Alapelvek) szerint készíti. Bemutatásra kerülnek az alapvető rövidtávú fizetőképességi mutatók, majd az ezek alapján levont következtetések. Mivel a mutatók számolásához a vizsgált vállalat pénzügyi kimutatásának adataira van szükség, amely eltéréseket mutat egy magyar vállalkozás éves beszámolójához képest, így tanulmányunkban kitérünk a két számviteli rendszer közötti különbségekre is azoknál a tételeknél, amelyek hatással vannak a likvidtási mutatókra, különös tekintettel a forgóeszközök tételeire, illetve a rövid lejáratú kötelezettségekre.

Just how different can accounting numbers be for the same company under different accounting rules? Which countries use International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)? In what main ways is US ‘generally accepted accounting principles’ (US GAAP) different from IFRS? How have politics and economics affected accounting? ‘International differences and standardization’ shows how international standardization simplifies the preparation of financial statements covering whole international groups and how it improves the comparability of the accounting information for managers and investors. Differences between US GAAP and IFRS are considered: US GAAP is more detailed than IFRS and tends to be written in terms of rules rather than principles. It also has fewer options.

A relevância das informações disponibilizadas ao mercado por empresas brasileiras com American Depositary Recepts (ADRs) negociados na Bolsa de Nova Iorque foi avaliada neste trabalho. Essas empresas devem atender à exigência da Securities and Exchange Commission e elaborar suas demonstrações contábeis de acordo com os United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US-GAAP) até 30 de junho, anualmente. Diante desse fato, dois conjuntos de informações estão disponíveis, promovendo a base de dados para o estudo da relevância das variáveis lucro líquido e patrimônio líquido para o período entre 1999 e 2003. Após a utilização do modelo desenvolvido por Ohlson (1995) e de seus desdobramentos posteriores, os resultados evidenciam que (1) as informações elaboradas segundo os princípios de contabilidade geralmente aceitos no Brasil são relevantes; (2) as informações em US-GAAP disponibilizadas em junho possuem menor ou igual relevância do que as divulgadas em abril e (3) os ajustes aos US-GAAP efetuados no patrimônio líquido são relevantes para o mercado de capitais brasileiro.

A falta de um conjunto único de normas contábeis válido para todos os países pode conduzir a resultados conflitantes. Por exemplo, entre as emissoras brasileiras de ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) na NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), a CEMIG apresentou em 2002 um prejuízo de R$ 12 milhões conforme as normas americanas (US GAAP) e, sob as normas brasileiras, um prejuízo de R$ 1 bilhão (ou seja, 83 vezes maior). Também a CSN apresentou no mesmo ano um lucro de R$ 6 milhões conforme os US GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), contra um prejuízo de R$ 218 milhões conforme as normas brasileiras (ou seja, 30 vezes maior). Este estudo objetiva verificar se diferenças entre as normas contábeis brasileira e norte-americana (US GAAP) geram impacto significativo no resultado duplamente reportado no Formulário 20F pelas 30 emissoras brasileiras de ADRs na NYSE. Para mensurar o efeito dessas diferenças normativas no resultado foi utilizado o "Índice de Conservadorismo" (IC) de Gray, que mede o quanto um sistema contábil nacional gera lucros menores ("é conservador") ou maiores ("é otimista") em relação aos US GAAP. A média e a mediana do IC no período 2001 a 2005 indicaram conservadorismo das normas brasileiras, não confirmado pelo teste t-Student, mas corroborado pelo teste de Wilcoxon a 10% de significância. Dividindo-se em dois subperíodos, obteve-se um IC médio de 1,2 para 2001-2002 (significativo a 3,3%) e de 0,86 para 2003-2005 (significativo a 3%), indicando uma disparidade de comportamento: a contabilidade brasileira mostra-se mais otimista que os US GAAP até 2002, passando a mais conservadora a partir de 2003 até 2005.

This case examines the differences in format and terminology in financial statements between US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Students download the financial statements of two different companies in the same industry; i.e., Nokia (reporting under IFRS) and Motorola (reporting under US GAAP). Questions related to the differences in format and terminology are addressed.

Despite the increasing integration of global capital markets, there is little evidence on the valuation properties of cross-listed, non-U.S. firms' accounting variables. We use the relative performance of the earnings capitalization, the book value, and the residual income valuation models to explore the valuation properties of International Accounting Standards and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles earnings and book values reported by non-U.S., cross-listed firms trading in a common equity market. Using non-U.S./non-U.K. firms whose shares trade on the International Stock Exchange Automated Quotation system in London, we find that the earnings capitalization model is the dominant accounting-based valuation model when crosslisted firms report under International Accounting Standards. In contrast, we find that when cross-listed firms report under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the residual income model is the dominant accountingbased valuation model. Our exploratory study provides insights into the valuation implications of allowing a dual reporting system for foreign registrants trading in a common equity market.
