There is not a widely used method to model directly the aggregated expected return of the stock market. Most current methods use indirect approaches. We developed a new indicator that does not need an econometric model to generate expected returns and provides an estimate of the long-term expected returns. The proposed methodology can be used to develop an indicator of future returns of the stock market similar to the yield-to-maturity used for bonds. We used a restricted one-stage constant-growth model - a variant of the residual income model (RIM) - whose main input is the duration of companies’ competitive advantage and cyclical adjusted real return on invested capital (ROIC) with a 10-year average. We used a new methodology to develop an indicator of the long-term expected return on the equity market at the aggregate level, considering the duration of the competitive advantage of companies. Our results showed a strong correlation between the estimated implied return on equity (IRE) of current stock prices and realized returns of the 10-year real total return of the index.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125672790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have examined the relationships between religiosity and accounting quality, religiosity and corruption, and accounting quality and corruption. No evidence was identified of the combined role of religiosity and accounting quality in corruption. The study contributes to understanding the influence of religiosity, as a social norm, on managers’ decisions, which consequently have an impact on accounting quality and corruption, thus broadening the knowledge about the mechanisms that can affect corruption. Grounded in Social Norms Theory and supported by studies on the relationship between religiosity and accounting quality, which have also been based on that theory, it was possible to discuss the influence of religiosity on managers’ decisions, with impacts on accounting quality and corruption. The sample is formed of 36 countries. To process the data from the period from 2010 to 2014, partial least squares path modeling was used. The evidence indicated that greater religiosity is associated with lower accounting quality and that, together, they are associated with greater corruption. The result can be explained by collectivism, a characteristic of more religious environments. It favors the development of collusion, which has the potential to damage accounting quality and facilitate the occurrence of corruption. In addition, more religious environments are associated with less monitoring, which can encourage the manipulation of accounting information and corruption. The study shows that the combined effect of religiosity and accounting quality in combatting corruption did not present efficiency. The evidence also enables us to evaluate the influence of religiosity, as a social norm, on managers’ decisions, with impacts on accounting quality and corruption.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122309676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article fills a gap in research by investigating elements of the management control system as necessary and sufficient conditions to achieve high levels of OP. Our findings show the reduced importance of planning controls and the great importance of aligning priorities and indicators to achieve high levels of performance. The paper is helpful for the practitioners that have to choose what kind of management controls are priorities to achieve high levels of performance. Management control frameworks are helpful for the literature and the practice. Still, the practitioners cannot implement the whole set of these components, considering the restriction of time and contingency aspects. The companies must choose what kind of management controls they have to implement, considering the goal of achieving performance. We used a quantitative methodology based on contingency theory in a survey of 89 Brazilian firms. The relationships were tested using partial least squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM), and necessary condition analysis (NCA) was applied to identify the management controls that are sufficient and necessary conditions for superior performance. The results of our study suggest that a high level of strategically aligned indicators is necessary to achieve a high level of performance. Results also suggest the importance of aligning strategic priorities with appropriated performance indicators, primarily defended in the normative (balanced scorecard) and empirical literature.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132357908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, it seeks to identify how socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral variables influence financial preparation for retirement. This study advances by using a multidimensional measure of financial preparation for retirement in a comprehensive sample of Brazilians, bringing significant contributions to the implementation of new public policies for the most vulnerable groups. Identifying the level of financial preparation for retirement and the most vulnerable groups is key for a better understanding of the impact of social security and retirement on the lives of Brazilian citizens. In the Brazilian context, the Financial Preparation for Retirement Scale (FPRS) makes it possible to assess the public policies designed and it serves as a parameter for them to be reformulated, with a view to improving financial preparation for retirement in the most vulnerable groups. This is a survey, with 2,920 respondents from all Brazilian regions. The analysis techniques consisted in descriptive statistics, association test, and multiple regression analysis. Most Brazilians show low or very low financial preparation for retirement. It has been identified that 3 out of 4 Brazilians stop to think about how much they would need to save for their retirement. Despite being able to carry out some financial planning for retirement, most Brazilians cannot have good future expectations and savings behavior. Women, young people, divorced/separated persons, black persons, individuals with up to complete elementary education, borrowed housing, unemployed, with a gross monthly family income of up to R$ 1,100.00 and having 4 or more dependent persons constitute the profile of citizens less capable of dealing with financial preparation for retirement.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"10 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120862747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gap addressed by the article involved analyzing factors simultaneously, considering the possibility of equifinality with regard to the understanding about startup performance. A survey was conducted of 112 southern Brazilian startups. To compose the configurations, the cluster analysis technique was used. The chi-squared and covariance analysis (ANCOVA) tests were used to identify the effect of organizational configurations on startup performance. The results reinforced the assumptions of the configurational approach, highlighting the relationship of interdependence of imperatives in explaining organizational performance. The main distinctive characteristics of the three startup configurations found were: size; characteristics of the information from the management control system (MCS); entrepreneurial orientation (EO); cost leadership strategy (CLS); acceleration; and entrepreneurial source of investment (ESI). The results showed that differences in the characteristics of the information from the MCS and in the level of EO represent a deviation from the ideal configuration and are related with a drop in performance. The paper extends the knowledge on the imperatives investigated for the context of startups and on how these interact to compose the configurations. The results were shown to be relevant in explaining performance, corroborating the idea of equifinality, in which two distinct configurations presented similar performance. By analyzing the configurations that presented the best performance, managers can evaluate in which configuration they find themselves so as to guide actions to improve the startup success rate.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123180416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Para análise da relação entre grandes acionistas e dividendos, é crucial considerar a maneira pela qual o controle é assegurado. Grandes acionistas podem compartilhar o controle formando coalizões, e diferenças na composição das coalizões podem alterar os incentivos que as partes cooperantes têm para a atividade de monitoramento. Com base nos acordos de acionistas, exploramos a heterogeneidade entre as coalizões de acionistas apresentando elementos que podem caracterizar o papel do controle compartilhado na governança corporativa das empresas em um ambiente de mercado descrito pela concentração do controle em um único grande acionista. Este estudo apresenta potenciais impactos econômicos e sociais, pois é de particular interesse dos acionistas outsiders, e até mesmo de potenciais investidores, saber como os insiders podem usar a política de dividendos, uma vez que a distribuição de lucros tende a mitigar problemas de agência. Para identificar as coalizões de acionistas recorremos aos acordos de acionistas. O modelo de análise foi estimado pelo system generalized method of moments (GMM-Sys) de dois estágios com dados em painel desbalanceado para o período de 2008 a 2019. Descobrimos que o número de acionistas na coalizão e a alavancagem dos direitos de voto do maior acionista da coalizão estão negativamente relacionados aos dividendos distribuídos, e que os direitos de voto da coalizão estão positivamente relacionados aos dividendos distribuídos. Esses resultados contribuem para a abordagem principal-principal da teoria da agência e destacam que os incentivos e a capacidade das coalizões de acionistas para perseguirem benefícios privados do controle dependem de suas próprias características.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123613532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Innovation influences the environment in which companies are inserted, increasing uncertainties, resulting in behavioral changes of social players. In response to individual efforts to rationally deal with uncertainties and constraints, organizational homogenization emerges. However, the institutional pressures that influence the setting up of specific resources are still not fully understood in the literature. The replication of the study by Dubey (2019b) is considered, seeing big data technology as an innovation that has caused changes in the social context, thus we seek to grasp the setting up of organizational big data resources in Brazilian companies to build BDA capability, due to institutional pressures. The study makes it possible to see how institutional pressures set up BDA capability, thus being able to provide means to investment allocation decisions in data technology or improve technical management skills in the business intelligence team. The study brought to light the environmental response, resulting from the technological innovation of big data, in Brazilian companies. This demonstrates that organizations adhering to big data technology select their resources in the face of various pressures, in order to build big data analytics capability. This research has a descriptive and quantitative nature, and its operationalization took place through a survey. The research population consists of Brazilian companies that use technology with a large volume of structured and/or unstructured data, to generate results and insights, which support decision making. The survey participants were employees of Brazilian companies that have positions related to building big data analytics capability, located through the LinkedIn platform. 136 valid responses were obtained. To test the hypotheses, the Structural Equation Modeling technique was used by means of the software Smartspls v. 3.2.3. This study contributes by bringing an understanding of organizational behavior in the face of institutional pressures (coercive, normative, and mimetic) when selecting tangible resources and human big data skills to build BDA capability, using Resource-Based Theory. It is observed that the setting up of BDA capability is influenced by tangible resources and human skills. Tangible resources are selected due to formal pressures, competitive conditions, and by imitating existing standards in the market. Meanwhile, the required human skills are impacted, through legitimation and professional networks of decision makers.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116775462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the different governance indexes created for Brazilian companies, most of the empirical studies used proxies based on B3's Differential Corporate Governance Levels (DCGLs). This scenario is mainly due to difficulty in collecting data and operationalizing these indexes. This article proposes a corporate governance index that is simple to use and, therefore, more accessible when compared to other indexes documented in the literature. The creation of an effective index for assessing corporate governance quality in Brazilian companies is key, given that the influence that governance has on the financial decisions made by these companies is greater in countries with weak legal protection for investors, such as Brazil. Investors see that well-governed companies are less risky, thus they have a better chance of recouping their investments. Thus, the proposed index stands out as a major instrument of financial assessment. The proposed governance index has been supported by previous studies pointing out the most efficient mechanisms in reducing agency problems. As measures of market performance, Tobin's Q and Firm Value were used. Finally, the analysis was performed using ordinary least squares (OLS) models, panel data, and regression models using the instrumental variables approach. The proposed index proved to be a good measure of governance, given the unanimous results among the models. In all estimations, the relationship between corporate governance and market performance was positive, attesting the market confidence associated with the corporate governance quality expressed by the index.","PeriodicalId":251378,"journal":{"name":"Revista Contabilidade & Finanças","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114176266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
