Esse estudo tem como objetivo examinar a influência do Board Interlocking sobre a Qualidade da Informação Contábil determinada a partir de um conjunto de métricas de Gerenciamento de Resultados, Tempestividade e Relevância da Informação Contábil denominada de Portfolio Approach proposta por Barth, Landsman e Lang (2008), adicionado do Conservadorismo Condicional. Neste estudo, postula-se que o poder de monitoramento de Conselheiros pode ser enfraquecido pelas múltiplas conexões entre Conselhos e Diretorias. Nessa direção, foram formuladas quatro hipóteses de que o Board Interlocking exerceria efeito negativo sobre a Qualidade da Informação Contábil aumentando o Gerenciamento de Resultados (H1), diminuindo o Conservadorismo (H2), a Tempestividade (H3) e a Relevância da Informação Contábil (H4). A população-alvo da pesquisa é o conjunto de empresas de capital aberto que divulgaram Formulários de Referência nos anos de 2010 a 2015 por meio do website da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários. Os resultados mostraram que 79,34% das empresas abertas brasileiras realizaram Board Interlocking. Entretanto, somente 17,83% do contingente de mais de 6000 integrantes de Conselhos de Administração, Diretorias Executivas e Conselhos Fiscais formaram a totalidade das conexões no Brasil. Os principais resultados alcançados são de que Gerenciamento de Resultados, Conservadorismo e Tempestividade da informação contábil são indiferentes à incidência do Board Interlocking. No entanto, em favor da hipótese H4, foi possível observar maior Relevância da Informação Contábil ante a menor incidência de conexões.Descargas
