Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os fatores determinantes à submissão de cartas comentários, como estratégia de lobbying no contexto da regulação contábil, à audiência pública do Discussion Paper Extractive Activities do International Accounting Standards Board IASB).Os resultados mostram o tamanho como fator determinante, em todas as modelagens utilizadas, indicando que grandes empresas petrolíferas possuem maior probabilidade para realizar lobbying. Essa propensão é verificada para posicionamentos essencialmente desfavoráveis às propostas apresentadas pelo IASB, o que implica em considerar que a revisão/substituição do International Financial Reporting Standard -IFRS6 será um processo complexo e sujeito a pressões por parte das empresas petrolíferas para manter o status quo.

De International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) heeft recent het conceptual framework-project als kernproject aangemerkt. Het oorspronkelijke Framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements (framework 1989) was aan een fundamentele herziening toe. Samen met de Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) heeft de IASB de eerste fase van het Conceptual framework for financial reporting (framework 2010) voltooid. In deze eerste fase worden twee onderwerpen besproken. Dit zijn het doel van financiële verslaggeving en de kwalitatieve kenmerken van financiële verslaggeving. Wij bespreken deze twee onderwerpen en gaan in op de verschillen tussen het framework 2010 en het framework 1989. Wij benadrukken het verschil in toepassingsgebied van de twee frameworks. Het framework 2010 is gericht op het ruimere begrip financial reporting, financiële verslaggeving en het framework 1989 was beperkt tot financial statements, jaarrekeningen.

Sir David Tweedy, the former chair of the International Accounting Standards Board, observed: “The scandals that we have seen in recent years are often attributed to accounting although, in fact, I think the U.S. cases are corporate governance scandals involving fraud” (Tweedy, 2007). This paper will show that many of the recent Chinese cases of fraudulent financial reporting are also really corporate governance scandals involving fraud.

The author establishes a goal to analyze evolution of asset’s definition in professional activity of International Accounting Standards Board and to demonstrate the processes underlying the decision-making activities have been done by its experts. The article describes in chronological order how financial accounting experts introduced improvements on asset’s definition from one meeting to another and what kind of ideas of economic and semantic nature were used to back up those improvements. The author also sheds light on and scrutinizes a few papers adopted by International Accounting Standards Board and some other accounting bodies that provided the process of evolution of an asset’s definition with relevant concepts and ideas. The article discusses fundamental principles of financial accounting in regards of interrelations between economic benefits and an asset followed by analyzing of related doctrinal teachings of western theoreticians thereto. It was stated that most of theoreticians support the idea that asset and economic benefits are totally different phenomena and article promotes some arguments why this position is true. The author also draws a theoretical conclusion that economic benefits always flow to the entity in case of usage or selling of an asset, but these benefits are generated either in a form of economic benefits as itself or in a form of asset. The article provides a brief analysis of characteristics of a right having a potential to produce economic benefits and what consequences a new definition of an asset can have on accounting treatment in case of shifting away from accounting for physical objects and toward accounting for a right or a set of rights.

In de Exposure Draft Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting blijft de International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) uitgaan van een balansbenadering waarbij baten en lasten worden afgeleid van de mutaties in balansposten. Financiële prestatie wordt niet afzonderlijk gede"nieerd en de IASB reduceert dit tot een presentatievraagstuk gericht op Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) en recycling. Relevante informatieverschaf"ng over prestaties vraagt echter om een prominentere plaats in het nieuwe Conceptual Framework en een meer genuanceerde aanpak voor de ontwikkeling van concepten die de basis kunnen vormen voor standaarden leidend tot relevante informatie over de prestaties van een entiteit. Inzicht in prestaties vraagt in ieder geval om afzonderlijke informatieverschaf "ng over alle relevante attributen van het resultaat en dat is niet mogelijk via slechts een tweedeling tussen resultaten die worden gepresenteerd binnen winst of verlies en resultaten die worden gepresenteerd binnen OCI.
