Mastering basic Accountancy concepts appropriately and analyzing their characteristics are essential for the development of Accounting Theory. The financial decision making process requires knowledge on adequate economic values, which Accounting users are increasingly demanding. The aim of this research was to ascertain the understanding of some terms explored in the context of the subject Accounting Theory, such as assets, liabilities, goodwill, revenues, expenses, gains and losses. A sample was investigated, comprising 591 students enrolled in Accountancy programs who had already taken the subject Accounting Theory at higher education institutions (HEI) located in the city of Salvador (BA), Brazil. Logistic regression analysis of the results indicates that the relation between student performance and the teacher's degree is more significant than the relation between student performance and type of HEI. In general, however, superficial concepts on the topics addressed in this study were cited at all levels. The results generally disclosed errors in the understanding of relevant accounting concepts for students' education, mainly reflecting an outdated, or at least conservative view. When compared per type of education institution, the results indicate that students from public institutions better master the concepts considered in this study. The understanding improves further when the teacher's degree evolves from specialist to M.Sc. and Ph.D. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Um domínio apropriado dos conceitos básicos da Contabilidade e uma análise das suas características são essenciais para o desenvolvimento da Teoria Contábil. O processo de tomada de decisões financeiras exige o conhecimento de valores econômicos adequados, o que se torna cada vez mais demandado pelos usuários da Contabilidade. Este trabalho, portanto, buscou aferir a compreensão de alguns termos explorados no contexto da disciplina Teoria da Contabilidade, tais como ativos, passivos, goodwill, receitas, despesas, ganhos e perdas. Examinou-se uma amostra composta por 591 alunos matriculados em cursos de Ciências Contábeis que já haviam frequentado a disciplina Teoria da Contabilidade em instituições de ensino superior localizadas na cidade de Salvador (BA). A análise dos resultados por meio de uma regressão logística indica que a relação desempenho do discente e titulação do docente é mais significativa que a relação desempenho do discente e tipo da IES, contudo, de forma geral, conceitos superficiais sobre os tópicos tratados nesse trabalho foram citados em todos os níveis. Os resultados evidenciaram, em geral, falhas na compreensão de conceitos contábeis relevantes para a formação do aluno, refletindo majoritariamente uma visão superada ou, no mínimo, conservadora. Quando comparados por tipo de instituição de ensino, os resultados indicam que estudantes de instituições públicas possuem melhor domínio dos conceitos considerados neste estudo. A compreensão melhora um pouco mais quando a titulação do docente evolui de especialista para mestre e deste para doutor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
