Resumo

Essa pesquisa analisou o efeito da expertise financeira do CEO no comportamento assimétrico dos custos de companhias abertas brasileiras. A amostra do estudo consistiu em 178 empresas no período 2012-2021. Para a análise, utilizou-se a regressão linear múltipla por meio do software Stata. No cálculo do comportamento assimétrico dos custos foi utilizado o modelo de Anderson et al. (2003), sendo analisadas as contas de Custo dos Produtos Vendidos (CPV), Despesas de Vendas, Gerais e Administrativas (DVGA) e Custo Total (CT). A expertise financeira do CEO foi mensurada com base em quatro características de acordo com o modelo de Bortoli e Soares (2021), sendo agrupadas em um único índice através de ACP: (i) formação acadêmica em finanças; (ii) experiência no setor financeiro; (iii) experiência como diretor financeiro; e (iv) anos de experiência no cargo de CEO. Os resultados indicaram que a expertise financeira do CEO ocasiona no comportamento assimétrico anti-sticky para o CPV e o CT. Esse resultado também ocorreu nos testes adicionais da análise individual das variáveis da expertise financeira do CEO. O estudo contribui principalmente para profissionais como auditores e analistas de mercado, no sentido de que seus procedimentos de trabalhos podem ser incrementados, pelo entendimento de que o nível de expertise financeira dos CEOs ser um fator que pode impactar no comportamento assimétrico dos custos das empresas. A contribuição para a literatura consiste na identificação de como características dos gestores, como o nível de conhecimento financeiro, interferem nas decisões relacionadas à gestão de custos.
