Abstract

Il presente contributo esamina gli effetti delle variazioni di cash generating unit (CGU) sull?entit? delle svalutazioni dell?avviamento, attraverso un?indagine comparata di bilanci di societ? quotate italiane e inglesi. Avendo riguardo alla procedura di impairment test prevista dallo IAS 36, si assume che le modifiche di CGU, ove ritenute "non giustificate", ovvero non riconducibili a business combinations o a motivate riorganizzazioni interne, possano rivelare politiche di earnings management. In detto contesto si verifica l?ipotesi che un incremento o un decremento non giustificato del numero di CGU, cui l?avviamento risulta allocato, sia associato ad una svalutazione dell?avviamento rispettivamente maggiore o minore rispetto a quella del periodo precedente. I risultati della ricerca, in coerenza con gli assunti propri della teoria dell?earnings management, confermano che i profili di soggettivit? insiti nella procedura di impairment possono essere utilizzati dai managers in modo opportunistico.
