<p><em>Globalization brings changes to the capital markets and business operations across borders. State sector in a multinational company is required to make financial reports that can be received throughout the world, but in every country have their own accounting standards are of course different between a country's accounting standards with other countries. For it requires the international accounting standards, so that financial disclosures made by a company in a country multinational globally acceptable. Application of international accounting standards is very difficult because of differences in both legal, environmental, social and economic conditions between one country to another and to bridge it then requires the process of harmonization and convergence. There is a difference between the process of harmonization and convergence of international accounting standards. Only at the stage of harmonization, alignment of accounting standards issued by standard-setting bodies in each country with International Accounting Standard (IAS), while convergence is the next stage of the harmonization of accounting standards which are expected in the context of international standards aimed at eventually there would be only one standard. The process of harmonization and convergence of international accounting standards is not easy to just run, many obstacles and criticisms of the process of harmonization and convergence in which the harmonization and convergence is only suitable for large companies are multinational companies rather than small and medium enterprises, although there are also advantages that can be obtained from the harmonization and convergence of international accounting standards, among others comparable financial reporting, increase transparency, reduce costs and increase global investment capital. </em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><strong><em></em></strong><em></em></p>

Integrated reporting (IR), which aims to overcome the limitations of both tradi-tional financial and stand-alone non-financial reports, has gained momentum as a single comprehensive tool merging financial and non-financial information. Initially conceived for private sector entities, IR is also establishing itself in the public sector context as a vehicle for transparency and accountability. This research offers an empirical investigation of IR practices in the State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) context. More specifically, the paper investigates the levels of disclosure provided through IR by a sample of 34 European SOEs and explores the effects of potential explanatory factors. The results indicate a fair level of IR disclosure and a trend of reporting information already requested under international accounting standards. The findings also highlight that industry (basic materials and financials) and size positively influence the level of IR disclosure in a particularly strong way, while governance features (board size and board gender diversity) and the provision of external assurance do not exert any impact.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os fatores determinantes à submissão de cartas comentários, como estratégia de lobbying no contexto da regulação contábil, à audiência pública do Discussion Paper Extractive Activities do International Accounting Standards Board IASB).Os resultados mostram o tamanho como fator determinante, em todas as modelagens utilizadas, indicando que grandes empresas petrolíferas possuem maior probabilidade para realizar lobbying. Essa propensão é verificada para posicionamentos essencialmente desfavoráveis às propostas apresentadas pelo IASB, o que implica em considerar que a revisão/substituição do International Financial Reporting Standard -IFRS6 será um processo complexo e sujeito a pressões por parte das empresas petrolíferas para manter o status quo.
