Abstract: The financial statements of Brazilian companies have been transformed with the adoption of international accounting standards, and it was expected that this would offer more reliable information for decision-making. This study aims to analyze the influence of the adoption of international accounting standards in predicting corporate insolvency. The sample comprises 94 Brazilian companies listed on BM&FBovespa, divided into two groups: the first group has companies considered insolvent and the second group has solvent companies. For each insolvent company we selected another enterprise of the same segment, based on the nearest value of the total assets.

The explanatory variables include 29 financial indicators and the methodological procedure was the statistical method called Discriminant Analysis. The application of statistical tests on separate samples in periods before and after the adoption of IFRS, led to the conclusion that there was a considerable improvement in predicting insolvency after the adoption of international accounting standards, because the average accuracy increased from 73.5% to 82.1%.
