Recibido en enero de 2013. Aceptado en abril de 2013. RESUMEN:Este trabajo pretende detallar la prescripción de la NIC 41 Agricultura y su seguimiento a nivel español. Inicialmente existía una voluntad de asumir la NIC 41 pero la realidad muestra que la normativa contable española no aplica el valor razonable para los activos biológicos y productos agrarios, incluso cuando existen mercados activos que garantizan la formación de precios; es decir, la utilización del coste histórico se impone en las empresas españolas agrarias, a pesar de la existencia de importantes debates sobre la bondad del valor razonable, lo que supone una valoración patrimonial diferente. PALABRAS CLAVES: NIC 41, activos biológicos, productos agrarios, empresas agrarias.Clasificación JEL: M41, Q14. Away of IAS 41: Is this a correct valuation of equity of agricultural enterprises?ABSTRACT: This paper aims to detail the requirements of IAS 41, Agriculture and its implementation in Spain. Initially there was a willingness to take on IAS 41, but the reality is that the Spanish accounting regulations do not apply the fair value of biological assets and agricultural products, although there are active markets that ensure the formation of prices, using the historical cost despite the existence of important debates about the goodness of fair value and the equity of the companies is different.

Accounting standards generate economic consequences that can be either intended or unintended. European and US accounting regulators have proposed to capitalize operating leases so that future payments derived from lease contracts are accounted for as debt. As operating leases are an important source of funding for the hotel industry, the sector has lobbied against the proposal. This paper analyses the economic impact on the hotel business of operating lease capitalization, using both hotel operators' perceptions and quantitative analyses of the expected consequences. Results show that the arguments presented in the hotels' comment letters are confirmed by the impact predicted. While hotels do not believe that the new standard will improve financial information quality (the intended economic consequence), they expect an increase in debt and reduced profitability (the unintended economic consequences), which may affect their strategies.An early response to this new standard is proposed in order to avoid unintended effects.
