Zusammenfassung: | We studied whether the level of financial and accounting disclosure affects the firm's value by focusing on the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Brazil in 2010. We compared firms with worse ex-ante accounting quality (Regular and Level 1 tiers of corporate governance) with similar firms that had already adopted IFRS before it became mandatory (Level 2 and Novo Mercado tiers). We found the IFRS adoption has a positive impact of approximately 30 percentage points on Tobin's Q and 26 percentage points on market-to-book ratios for firms in the lower governance tiers, and substantially reduces the valuation gap between firms in the higher and lower tiers of corporate governance. This reduction in the valuation gap after IFRS adoption is partly explained by the relative increase in foreign ownership and stock liquidity of firms in the lower governance tiers. KEYWORDS: IFRS, corporate governance, firm value, accounting quality, information asymmetry. Estudamos se o nivel de divulgacao contabil e financeiro afeta o valor da firma, focando a adocao do padrao IFRS no Brasil em 2010. Comparamos firmas com pior qualidade contabil ex-ante (no nivel regular e nivel 1 de governanca corporativa) com firmas similares que ja adotavam o IFRS antes de se tornar mandatorio (Nivel 2 e Novo Mercado). Encontramos que a adocao do IFRS tem um impacto positivo de aproximadamente 30 pontos percentuais no Q de Tobin e 26 pontos percentuais na razao entre valor de mercado e valor patrimonial para firmas nos niveis mais baixos de governanca, e reduz substancialmente a diferenca de valuation entre firmas nos niveis altos e baixos de governanca corporativa. Essa reducao na diferenca de valuation e parcialmente explicada pelo aumento relativo na participacao de estrangeiros no capital acionario e na liquidez das acoes das firmas nos niveis mais baixos de governanca corporativa. Palavras-chave: IFRS, governanca corporativa, valor da firma, qualidade contabil, assimetria informacional. Estudiamos si el nivel de la divulgacion de informacion financiera y contable afecta el valor de la empresa, considerando la implementacion en Brasil de las Normas Internacionales de Informacion Financiera (NIIF) en 2010. Comparamos las empresas con una contabilidad de menor calidad (empresas en el Nivel Regular y Nivel 1 de gobierno corporativo) con empresas similares que ya habia adoptado las NIIF antes de que fuera obligatorio (Nivel 2 y Novo Mercado).
