“…Therefore, unlike other commentary on the CP (Aversano et al 2020;De Wolf et al 2020;Biondi et al 2021), this evaluation goes beyond the assessment of comments provided in submissions on the CP to evaluate the rationale for producing an exposure draft on conceptual grounds as articulated in the CP. Moving from this evaluation, we intend to stimulate reflection and greater self-awareness within the accounting discipline and contribute to the profession reaching its full potential, thus enabling the flourishing of organisations, people and nature and, accordingly, helping to create a better world (Carnegie et al 2021a(Carnegie et al , 2021b.…”

“…Entre os estudiosos do tema, tem-se aqueles que defendem o seu reconhecimento no Balanço Patrimonial (Pallot, 1990;Micallef & Peirson, 1997) e aqueles que acreditam que isso não é possível sem que a situação econômico-financeira da entidade detentora desses ativos seja distorcida (Mautz, 1988;Carnegie & Wolnizer, 1995;Barton, 2000;Biondi & Lapsley, 2014). Da mesma forma, diversas são as bases de mensuração analisadas e, na maioria das vezes, criticadas (Carnegie & Wolnizer, 1995;Porter, 2004;Barton, 2005;Landriani & Pozzoli, 2014;Anessi-Pessina et al, 2020;De Wolf et al, 2021;Biondi et al, 2021). Quanto às informações a serem divulgadas, tanto a divulgação de informações financeiras como não financeiras é recomendada, embora ainda não se tenha clareza de quais seriam (Barker, 2006;Wild, 2013;Ouda, 2014;Aversano et al, 2019).…”

“…O International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB), responsável pela emissão das normas contábeis aplicáveis ao setor público, também não tem uma resposta definitiva quanto ao tratamento contábil dos heritage assets (Aversano et al, 2020;Biondi et al, 2021). Atualmente, orientações sobre a contabilização desses itens constam apenas no IPSAS 17-Property, Plant and Equipment, que permite, mas não exige, o reconhecimento desses ativos (IPSASB, 2006).…”
