RESUMEN

Este trabajo investiga la relevancia valorativa del resultado global frente al resultado tradicional, a fin de analizar la conveniencia de dar mayor o menor transparencia a los componentes dirty surplus. A tal efecto se utilizan modelos de precios y de rentabilidades. La muestra incluye 11.793 observaciones de empresas que cotizan en Alemania, Francia, Holanda y Reino Unido en el periodo 1993–2002. Los resultados proporcionan evidencia sobre la relevancia valorativa del resultado, tanto neto como global, asimismo confirman la utilidad de los ajustes agregados sobre el resultado neto. Respecto al papel individual de los ajustes, no hay una pauta de comportamiento común, pero en Reino Unido se confirma de utilidad de la desagregación de los tres ajustes. Estos resultados tienen ciertas implicaciones para el regulador; sugieren la conveniencia de mostrar de forma transparente el resultado neto y los otros componentes del resultado global en un mismo estado que informe sobre este resultado.

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the value relevance of comprehensive income versus traditional income, in order to consider the usefulness of reporting dirty surplus items in a more transparent way. To that end it uses price and return models. The sample includes 11,793 observations of quoted companies in Germany, France, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom in the period 1993–2002. The results provide evidence on the value relevance of income, both net and comprehensive income, moreover they confirm the usefulness of dirty surplus items. With regard to the individual role of these adjustments, there is not a common behaviour, but the decomposition of three analyzed adjustments appears to be clearly useful in the United Kingdom. These results have some implications for regulators; they reveal the convenience of disclosing separately the income and dirty surplus items in the same income statement, as this provides more transparency.
