Resumo

Objetivo: O estudo verifica de que forma o investimento, a qualidade das informações, o desempenho e a governança corporativa se comportam em empresas de capital aberto brasileiras com deficiência de controles internos (DCI) significativas.

Método: Foi usado modelo de regressão logística, com amostra final de 985 observações, no formato painel, painel agrupado e cross-section.

Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que, de acordo com o esperado, empresas com menor desempenho financeiro (ROA) e maior gerenciamento de resultados, ou seja, menor qualidade de informação, apresentaram maior probabilidade de DCI significativa. Ao contrário do esperado, empresas em níveis mais altos de governança corporativa, apresentaram maior probabilidade de DCI, o que teoricamente deveria refletir maior governança e controles internos mais confiáveis.

Contribuições: A relevância do estudo é trazer para o debate, em um país emergente, fatores que podem impactar a confiabilidade das informações contábeis financeiras obrigatórias, tendo o papel de reduzir a assimetria informacional. A implicação dos resultados é evidenciar pontos que aumentam a probabilidade de falhas significativas nos controles internos, o que pode auxiliar no aprimoramento dos mesmos e na redução de reincidências. Bem como mostrar aos reguladores que, embora empresas em níveis mais altos de governança apresentem probabilidade maior de DCI significativa, as normas podem estar pressionando essas questões, ao se verificar uma redução nos percentuais de presença de DCI em 2024.
