Resumo
Uma das principais preocupações que se tem com a informação financeira é a
qualidade que esta reflete no que respeita à realidade económica e financeira das empresas.
Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a influência do endividamento na qualidade da
informação financeira.
Os pressupostos levantados, por meio da literatura existente, são de que, à medida
que aumenta o endividamento aumentam os incentivos aos administradores para que estes
influenciem a qualidade da informação financeira. Sendo que tal influência pode ser positiva,
com o objetivo de transmitir informação financeira que reflita melhor a realidade económica e
financeira e as perspetivas futuras da empresa, reduzindo assim a assimetria de informação
para com os shareholders e stakeholders, ou negativa, com o intuito de evitar violar os
contratos de dívida, bem como induzir os shareholders e stakeholders a assumir uma postura
mais favorável sobre a realidade económica e financeira das empresas.
No estudo empírico, recorrendo a uma amostra de 40 empresas ibéricas do setor de
construção, durante o período de 2010 a 2013, foram utilizados os accruals discricionários
provenientes do modelo de Francis et al. (2005) como proxy inversa da qualidade da
informação financeira, tendo-se obtido como evidência estatística significativa que o aumento
do endividamento influência o amento da qualidade da informação financeira.
One of the main concerns with financial information is the quality that they reflect as regards the economic reality and financial companies. This dissertation aims to analyze the influence of debt on the quality of financial information. The assumptions raised by existing literature, are that, the increasing indebtedness increases incentives to managers for influencing the quality of financial information. Being that such influence can be positive, with the purpose of transmitting financial information that reflects better economic and financial reality and future prospects of the company thus reducing information asymmetry towards the shareholders and stakeholders, or negative in order to avoid violating debt contracts, as well as induce the shareholders and stakeholders to take a more positive stance on the economic and financial situation of companies. In the empirical study, using a sample of 40 Iberian companies in the construction sector, during the period from 2010 to 2013, were used the discretionary accruals from the model of Francis et al. (2005) as reverse proxy for the quality of financial information, having obtained as statistically significant evidence that the debt increase influence the increase of the financial information quality.
