This study investigates whether the governance attributes of Brazilian companies are associated with voluntary executive stock option (ESO) disclosure. Results show that Brazilian companies voluntarily disclose very little about their ESO plans, and that board size, presence of a compensation committee, and auditing by a Big 4 firm are significantly related to the degree of voluntary ESO disclosure. We also show that family-controlled companies in Brazil are associated with low voluntary ESO disclosure. Results are robust to a number of specification tests, dependent and explanatory variable measurements, and sample composition. This study has professional and regulatory implications for Brazil and other emerging capital markets. The results underscore the need for stricter rules for executive compensation reporting in Brazil, and they invite policy makers and regulators in emerging markets to consider the effects of company-level governance factors on disclosure incentives.

The objective of this work is to study the intraday dynamics of
liquidity in the Brazilian stock exchange from the perspective of
co-movements (or commonalities). In the study we argue that this common
factor in the liquidity of the stocks is affected by the intraday patterns
related to microstructure effects in the market. Using a high frequency
database, such a hypothesis is investigated for the Brazilian data and we
report large evidence that the commonality effect in the liquidity changes
significantly along different times of the day. During the first and last
hours of trading this effect is more intense. We justify this result as an
effect of the arrival of new information to the market and the existence of
the overnight risk.
Cada vez mais há preocupações sobre se as informações retratadas nas narrativas contábeis descrevem fatos verdadeiros, ou se foram manipuladas de tal forma a influenciar as percepções dos leitores. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa é analisar as características do gerenciamento de impressão por meio do uso de tom anormal nos relatórios de administração das companhias abertas listadas na Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão [B]³, durante os anos de 2010 a 2017. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo com abordagem do problema quantitativa, por meio documental com análise descritiva dos dados. Ainda, 1.576 relatórios de administração foram coletados manualmente no site da CVM. O tom anormal, proxy para o gerenciamento de impressão, foi mensurado segundo o estudo de Carlsson e Lamti (2015) e, após, foi analisada a sua relação com a performance financeira por meio de regressão com dados em painel com efeitos aleatórios. Os principais resultados evidenciaram que a probabilidade de se observar o uso de um tom anormal positivo (gerenciamento de impressão positivo) nos relatórios de administração diminui conforme o desempenho financeiro das empresas diminui. Espera-se que o presente trabalho permita um maior conhecimento sobre essa prática de gerenciamento e, dessa forma, os usuários consigam detectá-la mais facilmente.
