2015 saw an important step in the accounting reform in Portugal. On September 11, 2015, the Accounting Standardization System for Public Administrations (SNC-AP) was approved through Decree-Law No. 192/2015, which revokes the Official Public Accounting Plan (POCP) and establishes an accounting standard aligned with international accounting standards. The development of this work is based on content analysis focused on Public Accounting Standard 5, NCP 5, which was broken down into the respective chapters of the regulations. In this way, to reach the objective of the study, work was developed on several themes, which are essentially based on the chapters of NCP 5. In this way, the topics covered are: Objectives, Scope and Definitions, Measurement, Recognition and Derecognition; and, in order to better contextualize and exemplify the practical application of the standard, we will find, at the end of this work, some practical situations.

Tangible fixed assets are fundamental to the organization; thus, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Accounting Standard 16, (IAS 16—Property, Land and Equipment), which includes regulations that organize the recognition, measurement and disclosure of those assets. Later versions of the standard improved and updated the standard. The research aims at studying the extent of commitment of Lebanese accountants to implementing IAS 16. The researchers used a descriptive, analytical approach to tackle their topic. A well-structured five-point Likert style questionnaire was used to collect data. The samples were all members of the Lebanese Association of Certified Public Accountants (LACPA). The results of the study showed a difference of statistical significance within the opinions of the study samples about the extent of commitment of LACPA members to applying IAS 16. The research reached that accountants in Lebanon apply only some items of IAS 16, which the research tool specified. The researchers had some recommendations based on the findings of the research.

The study examined the extent of commitment of maritime companies in Lebanon to implementing the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16. It aimed at recognizing the extent to which maritime firms in Lebanon apply the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16 by explaining the financial statements and their features and constituents. A five-point Likert style questionnaire was constructed as a study tool to collect information from the sample that consisted of 70 people who were accountants at maritime companies in Lebanon in addition to auditors of these companies. From the 70 questionnaires distributed, 63 were retrieved. The research concluded that maritime companies in Lebanon apply the IAS 16 in the income statement and the statement of financial position. The researchers recommended that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) should set up a clear and coordinated approach to deal with the issue of the periodic maintenance for ships, especially that the IAS 16 did not specify a preferred approach to settle this issue; rather, the IASB left it for the companies to choose the most convenient approach. They also recommended increasing disclosure of Lebanese maritime companies using the procedures followed in determining, depreciating and itemizing fixed assets in the financial statements.

Actieve belastinglatenties moeten in de jaarrekening worden gewaardeerd tot het bedrag waarvoor het waarschijnlijk is dat voldoende fiscale winst wordt behaald om de actieve belastinglatenties te verrekenen. De vraag is welk effect deze norm van de Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving (RJ) en de International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) heeft op de gepubliceerde nettowinst van een onderneming. Zo raken tussentijdse op- en afwaarderingen van de actieve belastinglatentie de effectieve belastingdruk en daarmee de nettowinst. Richtlijn 272 en International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12 geven de onderneming de ruimte om de nettowinst te beïnvloeden door het al dan niet volledig tot waardering brengen van actieve belastinglatenties. Dit onderzoek richt zich op de vraag in hoeverre deze situatie invloed heeft op de gepubliceerde nettowinst. De invloed van het al dan niet volledig tot waardering brengen van actieve belastinglatenties op de gepubliceerde nettowinst bedraagt ruim 17%.

The paper deals with the comparison of intangible fixed assets, especially in the area of determination, evaluation as at the date of the accounting transaction, closing date and possibilities of depreciation according to the Czech accounting legislation, the selected German accounting systems and the international accounting standards IAS/IFRS and US GAAP. An analysis of the selected Czech firms with a varied structure of intangible fixed assets was also performed. The analysis proved that, in spite of the running IAS/IFRS and US GAAP convergence process, there are significant differences in this area, which limit the comparability of financial statements of accounting units. This paper is not concerned in detail with the preference limits and permits for greenhouse gases and intangible assets in acquisition.

Materiality is a key concept in accounting theory and practice. Yet differing views exist in regard to the practical application of the materiality concept amongst preparers, auditors, users of financial reports and regulators (ESMA/2011/373). Unlike International Accounting Standards, in Australia AASB 1031 Materiality addresses materiality thresholds. The pre-2000 period, when Australian firms were required to separately disclose abnormal items in their financial reports, provides a unique opportunity to explore how the concept of materiality was applied. Abnormal items were considered abnormal by reason of their size and effect on operating earnings. We investigate whether immaterial or marginally material items were classified as abnormal, and whether materiality thresholds were consistently applied to different types of abnormal items and over time. Findings show almost a quarter (22.94%) of abnormal items were immaterial for which the overall mean was only 2.54% of the baseline earnings before abnormal items. Results are consistent when abnormal items are classified into the four predominant types by which described in financial reports and when further dissected into the forty categories by which they were themed. The outcomes of this analysis inform the current regulatory debate concerning the inclusion of immaterial items in financial reports which may mislead users (FRRP 2013) and the IASB materiality project (2013).

A presente investigação tem como principais objetivos analisar a divulgação da informação sobre intangíveis num período de nove anos, nomeadamente, a extensão ou o nível, bem como a sua evolução e as possíveis alterações que nela se verificaram, derivadas da adoção, em 2005, do normativo internacional para efeitos da elaboração das contas consolidadas das entidades bancárias. Através da verificação da divulgação dos ativos intangíveis atendendo aos itens constantes da International Accounting Standard (IAS) 38 do International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), foram analisadas as demonstrações financeiras consolidadas dos dezassete bancos, que apresentaram contas consolidadas em Portugal, ininterruptamente, de 2001 a 2009. Os resultados obtidos através da construção de um índice, elaborado para o efeito, revelaram uma média de divulgação de informação sobre intangíveis de 0,24 no período. O nível de divulgação geral evoluiu de uma média de 0,1940 em 2001 para 0,2778 no ano de 2009. Os intangíveis gerados internamente tiveram uma média de divulgação de 0,1592 e os intangíveis adquiridos a terceiros obtiveram um valor médio de 0,2927. Verificou-se um aumento na extensão da divulgação de intangíveis nas demonstrações financeiras consolidadas dos bancos no período em análise, sendo este acréscimo mais acentuado nos anos de 2005 e 2006, os primeiros anos de adoção em Portugal do normativo internacional endossado pela União Europeia através do Regulamento 1606/2002, de 19 de Julho, as designadas normas IASB-UE.
