ARGILÉS BOSCH ANNA SABATA ALIBERCH JOSEP GARCÍA BLANDÓN Economía y Finanzas Fair value agriculture historical cost farm accounting biological assets This paper presents empirical research comparing the accounting difficulties that arise from the use of two valuation methods for biological assets, fair value (FV) and historical cost (HC) accounting, in the agricultural sector. It also compares how reliable each valuation method is in the decision-making process of agents within the sector. By conducting an experiment with students, farmers, and accountants operating in the agricultural sector, we find that they have more difficulties, make larger miscalculations and make poorer judgements with HC accounting than with FV accounting. In-depth interviews uncover flawed accounting practices in the agricultural sector in Spain in order to meet HC accounting requirements. Given the complexities of cost calculation for biological assets and the predominance of small family business units in advanced Western countries, the study concludes that accounting can be more easily applied in the agricultural sector under FV than HC accounting, and that HC conveys a less accurate grasp of the real situation of a farm. 2012 artículo científico 1138-4891 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=359733642004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3597 Revista de Contabilidad application/pdf Asociación Española de Profesores Universitarios de Contabilidad Revista de Contabilidad (España) Num.1 Vol.15 |
