RESUMO

This research has as objective to verify if the book-tax differences (BTD) can capture the opportunism of managers (Earnings Management EM) exists in Brazilian open-capital companies when isolated portion normally generated by the difference between the standards (accounting-tax misalignment NBTD), from 1999 to 2007. To test the question above, econometric models were used to isolate the opportunism behavior amending corporate profits. To verify the presence of earnings management the results obtained by the model proposed by Paulo (2007) (BR Model), which showed better results in Brazil, have been used. To isolate the opportunism through the formation of BTD was chosen the Tang (2006) empirical model, which is based on the conceptual framework of the same author and involves both variables linked to EM as to tax planning (TP) in its creation. International literature suggests that the introduction of variables representing TP in GR models reduces the measurement error portion of these models, promoting better identification of opportunistic behavior. Although studies in Brazil have identified the presence of EM in companies reports, studies involving taxable income are not common, except by those who use specific accounts for the identification of EM (e.g. deferred taxes). Additionally, this work proposes a model (BTD_BR) with variables that explain the BTD formation in national standards with statistical results more relevant to the Brazilian context than the model created by Tang (2006). These results suggest that the manipulations performed during the study period were due to behavior considered normal or predicted by the models, since the values found in the correlation analysis are low.
