Resumen

Este trabajo analiza la influencia del tiempo de mandato y la edad del Chief Executive Officer (CEO) en la comparabilidad de las empresas de capital abierto que cotizan en bolsa en el mercado brasileño. Se analizaron 58 empresas en periodos anuales de 2013 a 2019. Los datos fueron sometidos a regresiones de datos en panel, lo que indicó que la duración del mandato influye positivamente en la comparabilidad. También se encontró que la edad del CEO no tiene un efecto directo sobre la comparabilidad, aunque es una característica personal que actúa indirectamente como un factor moderador en la relación entre mandato y comparabilidad. Los CEOs más jóvenes tienden a disminuir la comparabilidad de la información contable durante su mandato. El estudio es importante porque demuestra que los cambios en las opciones contables son más agresivos al principio y se atenúan durante el tiempo de mandato. Contribuye, especialmente en el ámbito práctico, al demostrar que la edad del CEO es un factor que potencia la influencia del mandato en la comparabilidad.
