RESUMEN

En España el Plan General Contable, norma básica de normalización contable, ha sido desarrollado tomando como base las sociedades mercantiles, por lo que obvia las especificidades de las sociedades cooperativas, además la regulación de las cooperativas se caracteriza por un marco plurilegislativo. Todo ello justifica la necesidad de la adaptación de las normas contables a las sociedades cooperativas, que ha sido llevada a cabo. Por ello se estudian las singularidades de las cooperativas en relación a sus fondos propios así como las diferentes opciones contables posibles, evaluando consecuentemente las soluciones adoptadas por la Norma mediante la aplicación del método Delphi. Este proceso normalizador ha coincidido con el actual proceso de adopción de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera por la UE, que en relación a los fondos propios de las cooperativas es muy problemático, por lo que es objeto de análisis dada su enorme oportunidad.

ABSTRACT

The Spanish General Accounting Plan, which is the basic accounting norm in the country, has been developed upon the basis of the mercantile societies. Subsequently, it misses most of the co-operative specifities, additionally the co-operative regulation is characterised by a multilegislative framework. All this justifies the need of an adjustment of the accounting standards to the co-operative societies that have been developed. Therefore, the equity's special features of the cooperative organizations as well as the alternative accounting options are studied. To do this, by applying the Delphi methodology, the solutions implemented by the norm have been evaluated. This normalizing process coincides with the current adoption by the EU of the International Financial Reporting Standards, in which the issue of the cooperative's equity, becomes a tricky issue and therefore it is analysed in the paper.
