Purpose: The present work sought to analyze the level of compliance of the Brazilian companies in the telecommunications sector listed in B3 to accounting pronouncement CPC 47.
Methodology: A checklist was elaborated containing 8 (eight) criteria in which companies should disclose in order to obtain a high level of compliance with CPC 47. It’s characterized as a documentary research with analysis of content over the consolidated financial statements (balance sheet and income statement), explanatory notes and management reports published by the companies in the years 2017 and 2018.
Results: The results show that no company presented adherence to the new standard. The company Telefonica Vivo Brazil was the one with the highest level, 56.25%, while Telebras presented the lowest, 29.16%. In addition, it was checked whether the companies already disclosed their information in accordance with the standard before it became mandatory, as a voluntary disclosure. The companies OI S.A., Telebras and Algar Telecom did not mention CPC 47 in the first three quarters of 2017. On the other hand, Telefonica Vivo Brazil and TIM Holdings alluded to the norm since the first period analyzed.
Contributions of the Study: It’s a current topic in accounting research because it’s the year of implementation of CPC 47, and relevant, as it will bring significant changes in the recognition and disclosure criteria of revenues. From the literature review, few studies have been done dealing with the topic. From this, this research sought to contribute to expand the list of works produced on the new CPC, with a quantitative approach, in the lines of accounting disclosure and regulation.
