Information access law and disclosing of information by joint-stock companies in Brazil: open data and Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) standard

The strategic management of information plays a fundamental role in the organizational management process since the decision-making process depend on the need for survival in a highly competitive market. Companies are constantly concerned about information transparency and good practices of corporate governance (CG) which, in turn, directs relations between the controlling power of the company and investors. In this context, this article presents the relationship between the disclosing of information of joint-stock companies by means of using XBRL, the open data model adopted by the Brazilian government, a model that boosted the publication of Information Access Law (Lei de Acesso à Informação), nº 12,527 of 18 November 2011. Information access should be permeated by a mediation policy in order to subsidize the knowledge construction and decision-making of investors. The XBRL is the main model for the publishing of financial information. The use of XBRL by means of new semantic standard created for Linked Data, strengthens the information dissemination, as well as creates analysis mechanisms and cross-referencing of data with different open databases available on the Internet, providing added value to the data/information accessed by civil society.

Inglorious revolution : sovereign debt, tropical credibility, and financial underdevelopment in imperial Brazil

In 1824 the creation of institutions that constrained the monarch’s ability to unilaterally tax, spend, and debase the currency put Brazil on a path toward a revolution in public finance, roughly analogous to the financial consequences of England’s Glorious Revolution. This credible commitment to honor sovereign debt resulted in successful long-term funded borrowing at home and abroad from the 1820s through the 1880s that was unrivalled in Latin America. Some domestic bonds, denominated in the home currency and bearing exchange clauses, eventually circulated in European financial markets. The share of total debt accounted for by long-term funded issues grew, and domestic debt came to dominate foreign debt. Sovereign debt yields fell over time in London and Rio de Janeiro, and the cost of new borrowing declined on average. The market’s assessment of the probability of default tended to decrease. Imperial Brazil enjoyed favorable conditions for borrowing, and escaped the strong form of “original sin” stressed by recent work on sovereign debt. The development of vibrant private financial markets did not, however, follow from the enhanced credibility of government debt. Private finance in Imperial Brazil suffered from politicized market interventions that undermined the development of domestic capital markets. Private interest rates remained high, entry into commercial banking was heavily restricted, and limited-liability joint-stock companies were tightly controlled. The Brazilian case provides a powerful counterexample to the general proposition of North and Weingast that institutional changes that credibly commit the government to honor its obligations necessarily promote the development of private finance. The very institutions that enhanced the credibility of sovereign debt permitted the systematic repression of private financial development. In terms of its consequences for domestic capital markets, the liberal Constitution of 1824 represented an “inglorious” revolution.

Direito de recesso e respectivo valor de reembolso em companhias

Direito de recesso e valor de reembolso em companhias devem ser interpretados conjuntamente. São duas faces da mesma moeda. A aferição do valor de reembolso, conforme previsto no artigo 45 e respectivos parágrafos da Lei 6.404/1976, não é necessariamente feita pelo valor de patrimônio líquido da companhia. Ali se estabelece apenas um piso, no caso de previsão estatutária sobre o tema. No caso de silencia estatutário, há uma lacuna quanto ao critério de aferição do valor de reembolso. A melhor interpretação é uma interpretação sistemática e finalística da norma, no sentido de que o valor das ações a serem reembolsadas deve ser o valor mais próximo do real. Atualmente, na maioria dos casos, o valor econômico é o que melhor representa o real valor de uma companhia e, portanto, em caso de silencia estatutário, deveria prevalecer como critério de aferição do valor de reembolso. Como fundamentos deste raciocínio, utiliza-se do conceito e função do direito de recesso em companhias, suas características, principalmente a taxatividade de suas hipóteses e possibilidade de reversão da decisão motivadora do recesso, seu histórico legislativo, mormente as influências políticas e econômicas na definição de suas hipóteses. O trabalho analisa, também, como seu elemento de sustentação, a jurisprudência e aborda o entendimento da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários. Ainda como forma de justificar e fundamentar o raciocínio desenvolvido no presente trabalho, os conceitos de eficiência e valor justo e sua possível e pacífica convivência são abordados no item que trata de uma visão de Direito e Economia sobre o tema. Por fim, faz-se uma análise de como, na prática, as companhias de capital aberto tem se comportado com relação a esta questão, por meio da análise de todos os estatutos das companhias listadas na "BMF/BOVESPA" na primeira quinzena de janeiro de 2015.
