Full textEm 29 anos da publicação \"Nosso Futuro Comum\" apresentado pelas Nações Unidas, ainda há um considerável debate entre governos, sociedade civil, grupos interessados e organizações empresariais sobre o que constitui o desenvolvimento sustentável e, portanto, há evidência da contestabilidade do discurso sobre sustentabilidade. A proposta desse estudo é entender esse debate em um contexto de desenvolvimento econômico no Brasil e, em particular, entender e criticar as construções discursivas de contabilidade social e ambiental [CSA] relacionadas à estatal Petrobras, assim como discutir a literatura brasileira de CSA. A análise baseada na Discourse Theory [DT] usa redescrição retórica para analisar vinte e dois relatórios da Petrobras entre 2004 e 2013. Eu investigo as noções políticas através do emprego da metodologia chamada Logics of Critical Explanation [LCE]. A LCE tem cinco passos metodológico: problematização, explicação retrodutiva, lógicas (sociais, políticas e fantasmáticas), articulação e crítica. Os resultados sugerem que a hegemonia do desenvolvimento econômico opera para obscurecer retoricamente o desenvolvimento da sustentabilidade que mantém o core business da Petrobras igualmente concebido como acumulação de capital. Igualmente, essas articulações também ilustram como as construções de CSA operam para servir o propósito da empresa com pouca (ou nenhuma) profunda mudança na integração com a sustentabilidade. A literatura brasileira de CSA sustenta o status quo de políticas de mercado neoliberais que operam para proteger a dominante abordagem do business case para manter a agenda de geração de riqueza num cenário de necessidade sociais e ambientais. As articulações do estudo de caso manifestaram essas políticas, por exemplo, em relação à corrupção, no qual envolveu superfaturamento de contratos e práticas insustentáveis relacionadas ao uso de combustíveis fósseis os quais demonstraram que há antagonismo entre ação e disclosure. O escândalo de corrupção que surgiu após as divulgações de CSA marcou a natureza retórica do disclosure em que recursos financeiros subtraídos da empresa para partidos políticos e empreiteiras esconderam fatos através de disclosures incompletos. As articulações da CSA deturpam um contexto amplo dos significados associados com a sustentabilidade, que restringiram as construções da CSA para principalmente servir e representar a intenção dos grupos mais poderosos. A significância da CSA é, portanto, limitada para representar interesses particulares. O estudo argumenta por mais estudos críticos já que a limitada literatura brasileira sobre CSA mantém uma \'distância segura\' de substantivas críticas das construções de CSA e suas articulações no contexto brasileiro. A revisão da literatura e o caso da Petrobras ilustram a variedade de nomes, instituições e práticas articulatórias que se esforçam para manter a atual hegemonia de desenvolvimento numa economia emergente que permite à Petrobras continuar a exercer significante lucro à custa do social e do meio ambiente. A ideia construída de desenvolvimento nos discursos da Petrobras enfatiza uma retórica ampla de desenvolvimento, mas, na realidade, esses discursos são antíteses de questões políticas, sociais e éticas de desenvolvimento. Essas construções objetivam esconder as lutas entre desigualdades sociais e exploração dos recursos naturais as quais constituem pretextos sobre uma fantasiosa noção de desenvolvimento retórico, hegemônico e neoliberal. Em resumo, esta tese contribui para a antecedente literatura em cinco principais aspectos: (i) a adição da DT para a análise da CSA engrandece a discussão de elementos políticos tais como hegemonia, antagonismo, lógica de equivalência/diferença, ideologia e articulação; (ii) a análise de uma economia emergente como o Brasil incorpora uma nova perspectiva nas discussões dos discursos da CSA e do desenvolvimento; (iii) esta tese também inclui um foco na retórica para discutir a manutenção do status quo; (iv) a estrutura holística da abordagem LCE amplia os entendimentos das lógicas sociais, políticas e fantasmáticas dos estudos de CSA e; (v) esta tese combina uma análise da literatura e do caso da Petrobras para caracterizar e criticar o estado da academia brasileira e seus impactos e reflexos na significância da CSA. Esta tese, portanto, argumenta por mais estudos críticos na academia brasileira devido à persistente ideia de desenvolvimento que taken-for-granted profundas exclusões e contradições e proporciona pouco espaço para críticas.

Full textIn the light of critical perspectives on accounting theories and practices, sustainability accounting (SA) as a relatively new discipline has emerged. Compared to various SA models developed under the mainstream neoliberal ideology, some alternative models with “stronger” capital conservation strategies, notably the “Triple Deprecation Line” (TDL) (Richard, 2012; Rambaud & Richard, 2013), seem to have a lot of potentials to make some fundamental changes. This dissertation is essentially an investigation of necessary conditions and possible resistances faced by the establishment of the TDL model. The agriculture sector of the People’s Republic of China is chosen as the field of research in order to study the institutional environment and historical context in real-world settings. The investigation on the Chinese context is conducted with reference to theories of institutionalist political economy, inspired by Karl Polanyi (2002[1944]), Mancur Olson (1965), and Chang Ha-Joon (1994, 2002)

Full textEm 2010, o Brasil completou a convergência para as Normas Internacionais de Relatório Financeiro (International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS). Como a política deste processo tem sido pouco explorada, o objetivo desta tese é investigar como o campo da regulação contábil foi reconstituído durante a convergência. Baseando-se nos conceitos bourdieusianos de campo, capital e habitus, a análise da regulação contábil no Brasil é dividida em duas fases: primeiramente, o campo no início dos anos 2000 é mapeado através de revisão de literatura que identifica seus principais agentes institucionais. A partir do início dos anos 2000, quando as discussões sobre a criação de normatizador privado começaram, o habitus linguístico associado ao campo é mapeado através de análises discursivas de vários dados de arquivo, incluindo arquivos parlamentares e documentos emitidos por agentes institucionais que operam no campo. Essa investigação indica que a constituição do campo foi conduzida por uma relação de acomodação entre o Estado e a profissão contábil. Durante a década de 1970, consolidou-se uma comunidade interpretativa ligada aos mercados de capitais, incluindo reguladores do setor financeiro e segmentos dos campos profissional e acadêmico, que emitia e divulgava padrões contábeis de inspiração anglo-americana, moldados por uma abordagem de utilidade para decisão. Em oposição, durante a década de 1980 o Conselho Federal de Contabilidade (CFC) começou a disputar a primazia no campo, emitindo padrões contábeis moldados por um discurso de cientificidade que preservava a influência europeia continental na contabilidade brasileira. A partir do início dos anos 2000, os esforços para aprovar as reformas legislativas necessárias para a adoção das IFRS caracterizaram-se por alto nível de homogeneidade discursiva: Alegava-se que tal adoção aumentaria a transparência, compreensibilidade, comparabilidade e confiabilidade dos relatórios financeiros das empresas brasileiras, atraindo investimentos estrangeiros e promovendo o desenvolvimento econômico do país. No entanto, nenhuma dessas alegações era apoiada por evidências empíricas substantivas. Inicialmente, o CFC se opôs à criação de um normatizador privado, alegando que isso debilitaria a autorregulação da profissão contábil. Em outubro de 2005, porém, o próprio CFC criou o Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis (CPC), aparentemente resolvendo o conflito que havia estruturado o campo até então. A influência da tributação nas práticas contábeis brasileiras desempenhou papel central nesse processo, como um adversário comum que justificou a aliança entre o CFC e o polo do mercado de capitais. Como o CPC enquadra a si próprio apenas como tradutor e intérprete das IFRS, o campo como um todo não é mais um espaço de poder, dado que decisões substantivas no processo de normatização não são tomadas no Brasil. No entanto, alguns reguladores ainda desafiam a hegemonia do CPC, exigindo que as empresas sob suas jurisdições preparem e divulguem demonstrativos contábeis alternativos. Contribuindo para uma compreensão mais profunda sobre o papel de agentes locais na adoção das IFRS, esta tese sugere que no Brasil esse processo foi conduzido por uma comunidade interpretativa constituída há algumas décadas, cujos agentes trocaram o capital simbólico que possuíam anteriormente pelo capital econômico que obtiveram através da expansão do mercado de serviços contábeis.

Full textThe objective we seek in this research is knowing discourse specificities underlying Accounting scientific publications in order to verify how they contribute to what we may call the area\'s strict culture. We also sought to identify the identities/ideologies that arise from editorial policies of the journal Revista de Contabilidade & Finanças (RC&F), as well as the ones emerging from institutions and research sources represented by the researchers\' view of the world, who exercise intellectual influence on the conception of science translated by this journal. The investigation was based on the discourse\'s three-dimensional view that arises from the Anglo-Saxon tradition of Fairclough\'s (2008) Discourse Analysis (DA) - text, discursive practice and social practice. The DA considers the discourse as a social and historical construction which appropriates the linguistic knowledge to highlight, in the specific case of this research, the textual marks that impact the hegemonic conception of science in the Accounting field. The examined corpus was selected from the 355 papers published in the last 15 years in the online version of RC&F: we first identified the hegemonic area of research (Area 2 - Accounting for external users) and, then, we identified groups formed according to the Thematic Approach (TA) in order to determine the texts\' ideological proximity, without losing focus on the discourse timeliness. The results show that the discourse arising from the papers has technical lexicon from Accounting and similar areas, Business and Economics, besides Mathematics, Statistics and Law. Expressions with positive semantic polarity, foreign expressions, and lack of textual cohesion while employing some arguments are prevalent. As we are interested in the continuous improvement of scientific discourse to strengthen this area\'s writing culture, we focus the argument operators to identify hegemonic elements in discourse construction. We detect critical and reflexive superficiality, inappropriate use of argumentative operators and ongoing support in inter-texts that end up homogenizing analyzed discourse. There is prevalence of normative and technical ideology, with little or none interdisciplinarity and timid potential to cause concerns or to bring effective contributions to the written culture of the area. The text with discursive and social practice ends up generating a hegemony founded on researchers silencing, and, latter, reproduction and agreement with the obvious, detachment to theories, and avoidance of the criticality and the surrounding social reality. This fact is ratified by the opinion established by experienced researchers in the field, which consider the accounting scientific discourse as unstructured, uncritical, intuitive, immature, molded and unengaged with social reality

Full textWithin the current corporative environment, the implementation of organizational changes has been frequent. In this process of changes, the organizational discourse, found in the formal texts produced by the high administration, eventually expresses thoughts not always accepted before being firstly questioned by the other managers and that may cause difficulties for the changing process. The presence of less coherent discourses or discourses that challenge the organizational discourse may hinder or even affect the efficacy of changes. This thesis advocates that during a changing process within the Managerial Accounting of an organization, the discourse influences the levels for institutionalizing new concepts. This study of such influence was carried out by means of the Institutional Theory under the focus of the Old Institutional Economy, having as its theoretical framework the model proposed by Burns & Scapens (2000), emphasizing the stages of codification and institutionalization, as well as the discourse model of institutionalization proposed by Phillips et al. (2004). The research method consisted of a single case study related to Caixa Econômica Federal, a large public financial institution which performs social activities (as a governmental agency for funding and exclusive administration of funds) and economical activities (as a commercial bank which competes with other institutions in the financial market), which has recently undergone a process of deep changes in its Managerial Accounting. Through an analysis of documents, followed by interviews with central administration managers and discourse analysis, the co-existence of two discourses in the organization could be detected: social discourse and economical discourse. Later, questionnaires were applied to the managers of the bank branches and the managers of products, and to the users of the Managerial Accounting System in order to verify associations between the discourses and the levels of institutionalization of the new concepts. Out of the questionnaires, 4,259 answers were obtained. The data were submitted to the following statistical treatments: descriptive analysis, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Homogeneity (Homals) and Analysis of Correspondence (ANACOR). It could be verified that there is a positive association between the concordance with the concepts of Managerial Accounting and a concordance with the economical discourse. The individuals classified as most adherent to the economical discourse are those positively associated with and between a strong or average level of institutionalization. On the other hand, those individuals adherent to the social discourse have a positive association with the weak level of institutionalization. Thus, the results suggest that the discourse influences the process for institutionalizing concepts of Managerial Accounting and corroborate the propositions of Phillips et al (2004) for a greater coherence between discourses, that concepts within texts may lead to stronger institutions, and that the existence of competition between two discourses may hinder the process of conceptual change. In face of these results one may say that the discourse, whenever placed in a process of conceptual change, must be structured according to the characteristics and beliefs of the target public, which may cause a coherent union between the exercise of the language and the operational practice and allow for an efficient transformation of the institutional site into a field of action.

Full textThis thesis investigates how management controls can support the management of relationships with third-party companies. There is little empirical evidence in the accounting literature regarding the role of management controls in the relationship between companies; this research aims to expand knowledge about this relationship, through the use of Institutional Theory and discourse analysis. This thesis adopts an interpretative approach and conducts a qualitative research based on a single case study in a distribution company of the electric sector. This study examines not only which management controls are used, but also how they affect the relationship between companies. The findings show that, although the existence of the Controllership department does not necessarily contribute to supporting the management of third-party companies, the existence of its structure, impacted and improved the process. One example of this was the use of the Balanced Scorecard for creating financial indicators in evaluating suppliers. It was also found that many of the tools, which appear frequently in the literature, are appropriate to the management of business-to-business relationships. Examples are target costing, open-book accounting, value chain accounting, integrated information systems and total cost of ownership. In addition, this study found evidence of several informal, non-financial and qualitative control mechanisms. This is because the case company focused on establishing control on the activities instead of the financial information. This was observed in the discourse about quality control fiscalisation and audit checks. Thus, while other forms of control act constantly in the company\'s day-today; accounting controls are employed only sporadically for certain reviews. The motivation for this is explained by institutional theory, since this type of monitoring is able to promote encouragement, communication, control, and stability in relationships, being more practical, easier, and more politically acceptable. However, the attempt to include financial measures was an improvement. Moreover, this research also identified that several discourses were related to each another. In fact, some of them are contradictory, for example the discourses about hiring based on the financial assessment of suppliers, or based on the lowest price. The discourse of financial evaluation is relatively recent and has emerged in light of problems and financial losses which happened with suppliers. It is expected that, in the future, such a discourse replaces the idea of choosing according to the lowest price. It is interesting to note the relationship between two other discourses: control and trust. It was observed that the trust on contractors providing services for more than two decades creates resistance to the implementation of the new system of evaluation of suppliers. This makes the ranking and the rewards of the suppliers to have brought practical implications in hiring them. This corroborates with the idea that the greater the trust the less the control. On the contrary, certain tools of managerial control, such as the open-book, are not implemented, because there is no confidence in the financial information provided by third-party companies. Managerial control tools could enhance trust and confidence among the parties of the relationship. As a conclusion, it can be argued that the values and beliefs influence the decision to outsource activities and which activities, and also the way companies selected will be hired, evaluated and monitored. The whole process of changing political, economic and administrative influenced the way this company relates to its suppliers and the managerial control can help the management of this relationship.
Sterling, Carolyn Dawn. "Accounting for child sexual abuse : male discourses." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13546.
Full textThis study explores discourses which relate to child sexual abuse and which seek to excuse or justify it. It is hypothesized that these discourses are wide-spread and are not held simply by a small minority of offenders. Similar discourses emerged in two very different groups of male subjects. The first comprised 45 male second year University of Cape Town students in the Department of Psychology in 1986, who enrolled for a gender socialization course credit option. The second consists of 26 alleged child sexual abusers admitted to Valkenberg Hospital for psychiatric observation in 1988/9. A discourse analysis methodology is used to analyse essays written by the students and transcripts of audiotaped groups in which they participated, as well as accounts of the alleged offence contained in the clinical records of the observation cases. Ten discoqrse1;i, relating to excuses or justifications for child sexual abuse, were identified by their repeated occurrence in the research material. Identified justifications of child sexual abuse are victim blaming, the belief that men are unable to control their sexual drive, the assertion of power, perceived rights over women, and doubting the evidence of girls and women. Illustrations of these discourses, which are present in both students' essays and groups, as well as in the alleged offenders' accounts, are discussed. These five discourses appear to be pervasive and may be indicative of generally held beliefs which relate to the different positions in which men and women are placed in society.

The Integrated Report – IR as an instrument of voluntary disclosure of financial and non- financial information has been object of study and investigation regarding its usage and implementation by companies and its benefits. This study advances on such discussion, and, in an innovative way, explains, through discourse analysis and using the Suchman’s model, on what ways the voluntary disclosure about the natural environment have been used by open capital companies as a form of social legitimation through Integrated Reports (IR), including comparing the companies’ behavior according to its environmental impact of their operational activities. Suchman’s model considers that the managers may, strategically, through instruments of voluntary disclosure, gain, maintain, or recover the legitimacy on pragmatic, moral, or cognitive levels, employing different strategies and behavioral dynamics. The amount of 1,821 discourses about the natural environment have been analyzed, in the IR published in 2016, regarding the base year 2015, of eleven open capital companies with activities of low, medium and high environmental impacts, that participated on the BM&FBOVESPA stock market in June 2016, and declared that elaborated the reports based on the framework proposed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). This study is categorized as qualitative, regarding the research problem; as for the objective, it is descriptive; as for the proceedings of documental data collecting, as a temporal cross- sectional perspective, since the study was carried out the period between October 2016 and June 2017. The results demonstrate that the discourse about the environment contained in the analyzed IRs have been used as ways of social legitimation by the companies in a similar manner among open capital companies with low, medium, and high environmental impacts. The predominant category employed in the discourses was to gain legitimacy in a cognitive manner, especially regarding behavioral dynamics to build reputation, formalize operations, talk naturally about the subject, and demonstrate success, and the strategies were to adapt to a model, to demands, ideals, and that protect assumptions. It can be concluded that the IRs are being used as means of management of social legitimation through voluntary disclosure of information about the natural environment, spread in different sections of the report, appearing as texts, tables, and images, with implicit and explicit strategies. These findings make it possible for report writers, shareholders, and stakeholders to understand that not all of the managers’ intentions are evident in voluntary information communication about the natural environment. For future studies, it is suggested to analyze the discourse of other capitals disclosed in the IRs; reapply this study in future periods, on the same sample, to investigate if there was any change in the way social legitimacy is sought, including procedures of intention examination, through structured interview with the IR writers; apply the study in foreign open capital companies, in order to compare behavior regarding the search for social legitimacy, in Suchman’s model.
O Relato Integrado – RI como instrumento de divulgação voluntária de informações financeiras e não financeiras tem sido objeto de análise e investigação sobre sua adoção e implantação pelas empresas e seus benefícios. Este estudo avança nesta discussão e, de forma inovadora explica, a partir da análise do discurso e do modelo de Suchman, de que maneira as divulgações voluntárias sobre meio ambiente natural têm sido utilizadas pelas companhias de capital aberto como mecanismo de legitimação social por meio dos Relatos Integrados – RIs, inclusive comparando o comportamento das companhias conforme o impacto ambiental de suas atividades operacionais. O modelo de Suchman considera que os gestores podem, estrategicamente, por meio de instrumentos de divulgação voluntária, ganhar, manter ou recuperar a legitimidade de forma pragmática, moral ou cognitiva, a partir de diferentes estratégias e dinâmicas comportamentais. Foram analisados 1.821 discursos sobre meio ambiente natural, contidos nos RIs divulgados em 2016, referentes ao ano-base 2015, de 11 (onze) companhias abertas com atividades de alto, médio e baixo impactos ambientais, que participaram do pregão da BM&FBOVESPA em junho de 2016 e declararam que elaboraram os relatórios com base no framework proposto pelo International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). Este estudo, quanto ao problema, se classifica como qualitativo; quanto ao objetivo, descritivo; quanto ao procedimento de coleta de dados documental, em uma perspectiva temporal transversal, visto que o estudo foi realizado no período de outubro de 2016 a junho de 2017. Os resultados demonstram que os discursos sobre meio ambiente natural contidos nos RIs analisados têm sido utilizados como mecanismo de legitimação social pelas empresas de maneira semelhante entre as companhias de capital aberto com atividades de alto, médio e baixo impactos ambientais. A categoria predominante nos discursos foi para ganhar legitimidade de forma cognitiva, prevalecendo às dinâmicas comportamentais para construir reputação, formalizar as operações, falar do assunto com naturalidade e demonstrar sucesso, e as estratégias foram as que visam adaptar-se aos modelos, às exigências e aos ideais e proteger pressupostos. Pode-se concluir que os RIs estão sendo utilizados como mecanismo de gerenciamento de legitimidade social através das divulgações de informações voluntárias sobre meio ambiente natural, propagadas em diferentes seções do relato, apresentando-se em forma de textos, tabelas e imagens, com estratégias implícitas e explícitas. Estas constatações oportunizam aos preparadores dos RIs e aos shareholders e stakeholders compreender que nem todas as intenções dos gestores estão evidentes na comunicação voluntária de informações sobre o meio ambiente natural. Para estudos futuros sugere-se: analisar os discursos dos demais capitais divulgados nos RIs; reaplicar o estudo em períodos futuros, na mesma amostra, para constatar se houve mudança na maneira de buscar legitimidade social incluindo procedimento de levantamento das intenções, através de entrevista estruturada com os preparadores dos RIs; aplicar o estudo em companhias de capital aberto estrangeiras para fins de comparação dos comportamentos em relação à busca pela legitimidade social, no modelo de Suchman.

Full textThe aim of this study was to understand the current state of Academic Organizational Culture (AOC) in two Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), to identify possible relationships between culture and the results arising from the performance of these HEIs. The literature review included the major theories of organizational culture (OC), especially the approaches to Schein (2009), Denison et al. (2012) and Hofstede (2003), and empirical references of researchers that were based on the approaches of these authors. The methodology used was predominantly qualitative, based on ethnography, participant observation elements and use of interviews, both in depth as semistructured that were recorded for later editing and transcription. For the treatment of the content of the interviews, we used the technique of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) of Fernando Lefevre and Ana Lefevre (2012) with the use of Qualiquantisoft software. The empirical field covered two Accounting courses at two state universities, contacted by accessibility. These courses were the Department of Accounting and Actuarial Science at the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy at the University of São Paulo [FEA/USP] and the Department of Applied Social Sciences at the State University of Feira de Santana in Bahia [DCIS/UEFS]. 10 professors of the course of FEA / USP and eight professors of the course of DCIS/UEFS were interviewed. Also a questionnaire was applied to 122 students of the FEA / USP and 84 students of the DCIS/UEFS. The main results are that the current stage of the AOC in both courses of the two HEIs comes in diametrically opposite poles, that is, there is strength in the AOC of USP course, which is reflected in the responsibility of maintaining, at present, the achieved standards in the past and seek to increase this high reference and visibility of progress in the country, Latin America, with strategic direction for internationalization. In contrast, the current situation at UEFS is opposite, in which, according to their teaching, is being through a falling period of its AOC, that remains essentially dormant facing the external environment changes, which is reflects the fall of current quality and motivation levels of students and professors. In summary, the results from the course of the performance have a strong dependence of the strength and solidity of its AOC materialized responsibility, skills and commitment of its members (professors and administrators)
