COVID-19, estados financieros, comparabilidad, auditoríaResumen
La pandemia no solo ha supuesto una drástica reducción de la actividad, sino que ha generado una incertidumbre que tiene que reflejarse adecuadamente en la información divulgada, con más prudencia si cabe que en ejercicios anteriores. Al margen de cuestionar incluso el principio de empresa en funcionamiento, la situación sobrevenida por la COVID-19 ha tenido que afectar fundamentalmente a aquellas partidas de balance y cuenta de resultados que requieren la estimación de variables para su cuantificación, así como al contenido del informe de auditoría.
Con esta premisa, este artículo pretende analizar el impacto inmediato en las cuentas anuales de la grave situación sanitaria y económica que se está atravesando y cuyas consecuencias últimas son difíciles de prever. Más concretamente, mediante índices de comparabilidad, el trabajo estudia las principales partidas de los estados financieros que han podido verse afectadas por el coronavirus, considerando además la relación de tales variaciones con otras variables como el sector, la opinión del auditor y el tamaño de la firma de auditoría.
