Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é estudar as novas oportunidades de serviços das empresas de auditoria, denominadas "assurance service", que ampliam seu campo de atuação devido a novas necessidades dos usuários das informações. Isto se dá em função de: avanço da tecnologia de informação (comércio eletrônico, telecomunicações e sistemas integrados); mudanças de estruturas corporativas (concentração de empresas, competição entre cadeias de empresas, organização dos processos e core business); fluxo de capital (novos canais de distribuição, participação nos resultados e erosão de margens); accountability (diversidade de necessidades, mudanças nos critérios de decisão e maiores exigências dos usuários das informações); globalização (blocos económicos, quebra de barreiras alfandegárias, menor intervenção governamental e quebra de monopólios); aumento da expectativa de vida das pessoas. Diante da complexidade dos negócios, os usuários das informações necessitam de asseveração das informações de forma contínua para minimizar os riscos, principalmente os riscos inerentes e de controle, e agregar valor na tomada de decisão. Diante dessas necessidades, as empresas de auditoria promoveram uma reengenharia no seu enfoque, mudando do tradicional (de resultados) para o sistémico (de processos), passando a avaliar os riscos e os controles internos e voltando-se para os negócios dos clientes. As empresas de auditoria independentes, percebendo essas novas necessidades dos clientes, passaram a formar equipes e oferecer serviços além da auditoria de demonstrações contábeis. Esses novos serviços vieram a ter relevância tão expressiva em suas empresas que os departamentos de auditoria passaram a ser denominados assurance and business advisory service. O público alvo desses serviços passou a ser não somente os usuários externos das empresas, mas os usuários internos, que utilizam essas informações para fins de tomada de decisão. O AICPA e o CICA desenvolveram modelos de identificação de novos serviços que podem ser executados por auditores, resultando no reconhecimento de seis novos serviços com potencial de geração de receita. Como se trata de assunto recente, o AICPA, CICA e IFAC ainda estão em fase de elaboração da regulamentação desses novos serviços.

Abstract in English
The goal of this dissertation is to study the new opportunities of services by audit firms, denominated "assurance service", which can broaden their field of activities due to the new necessities of the users of financial Information. This occurs due to: the advances in information technology (electronic commerce, telecommunications and integrated systems); changes in corporate structures (concentration of companies, competition among conglomerate, organization of processes and revision of core businesses); capital flows (new distribution channels and challenges to profit margins); accountability (diversity of needs, changes in the criteria of decision and greater demands of the Information users); globalization (economic blocks, fall of customs barriers, less governmental intervention and reduction of monopolies); and the increase of life expectation. Facing the complexity of business, the users of Information need the continuous assurance of data and Information in order to minimize risks, mainly the inherent and control risks, and demand aggregation of value to decision making. Facing these needs, auditing firms adopted a reengineering in their approach, shifting from the traditional one (of results) to the systemic (of processes), starting to evaluate the risks and internal controls and directing themselves towards better understanding the business of their clients. The independent auditors, perceiving these new necessities of their clients, started to qualify teams and offer services in adition to the basic audit of financial statements. These new services started to feature an expressive relevance in their firms in such a way that the audit departments started to be called assurance and business advisory service. The target public for these services turned out to be not only the external users of companies, but also the internal users, who need quality information to help them on decision-making. The AICPA and the CICA have developed models of identification of new services that can be accomplished by auditors and as a result there is the recognition of six new potential services that can yield revenues. As it is a recent matter, the AICPA, CICA and the IFAC are still developing standards or orientation for these new potential services.
