Objetivo: Identificar quais competências são desenvolvidas na aplicação de casos para ensino com a utilização de técnicas de ensino diferentes, à luz do Ensino Embasado na Estrutura Conceitual (EEEC) e da Taxonomia de Bloom. Método: Foram testadas três técnicas de ensino: Grupo de Verbalização e de Observação (GVGO), Júri Simulado e Problem-Based Learning (PBL). A percepção dos discentes foi coletada por meio de questionário e grupo focal. Resultados: Na percepção dos estudantes, o emprego das técnicas, desenvolveu habilidades e competências distintas. Assim, a escolha da metodologia para aplicação de casos deve estar alinhada com os objetivos educacionais estabelecidos pelo docente. Além disso, apesar de terem sido desenvolvidas competências de todos os estágios do EEEC, GVGO e PBL desenvolveram mais aquelas do estágio 3, enquanto o Júri Simulado aquelas do estágio 2. Contribuições: Os resultados podem ser úteis para o International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) ir além do desenvolvimento de casos para ensino no EEEC, incorporando na agenda reflexões sobre quais metodologias utilizar na aplicação desses materiais no instituto de alcançar o objetivo aplicação coerente das International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Essas reflexões também podem ser realizadas por pesquisadores e docentes a fim de contribuírem com o EEEC.

The study examined the extent of commitment of maritime companies in Lebanon to implementing the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16. It aimed at recognizing the extent to which maritime firms in Lebanon apply the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16 by explaining the financial statements and their features and constituents. A five-point Likert style questionnaire was constructed as a study tool to collect information from the sample that consisted of 70 people who were accountants at maritime companies in Lebanon in addition to auditors of these companies. From the 70 questionnaires distributed, 63 were retrieved. The research concluded that maritime companies in Lebanon apply the IAS 16 in the income statement and the statement of financial position. The researchers recommended that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) should set up a clear and coordinated approach to deal with the issue of the periodic maintenance for ships, especially that the IAS 16 did not specify a preferred approach to settle this issue; rather, the IASB left it for the companies to choose the most convenient approach. They also recommended increasing disclosure of Lebanese maritime companies using the procedures followed in determining, depreciating and itemizing fixed assets in the financial statements.

International Accounting Standard

The management of Worldwide Shipping Corporation Ltd (hereafter “Worldwide Shipping”) is confronted with a dilemma when a new international accounting standard on leases is introduced which contains a transitional provision allowing firms to defer implementation for a period of four years. Students are required to put themselves in the position of managers who have to weigh the adverse impact of early adoption of the new accounting standard against a responsibility for fair financial reporting. Worldwide Shipping is a multifaceted case that can be used as an accounting case study or a financial analysis study. The objectives of the case are threefold. First, it aims to provide students with a better understanding of the impact of off-balance sheet transactions (in this case, sale-leaseback contracts) on a firm's financial statements. Second, it requires students to examine implications of accounting choice on management compensation and debt-contracting costs, as well as the perplexing problem of recognition in financial statements vs. footnote disclosures. By putting students in the position of managers, the case increases students' awareness of the possible economic consequences arising from accounting choice. Third, it provides students with a useful exercise in the mechanics of effecting a change in accounting method using the retroactive method.
