Este estudo examina como a familiaridade com os padrões contábeis, a complexidade das tarefas e a experiência do preparador influenciam o julgamento e a tomada de decisão (JDM) dos contadores em relação à contabilização de receitas de contratos com clientes. Reconhecer o impacto da familiaridade com padrões e experiência nas decisões contábeis permite que as organizações invistam em treinamento e desenvolvimento de preparadores, garantindo a preparação para novos padrões e tarefas complexas. Entender como a familiaridade com os padrões contábeis e a experiência dos preparadores influenciam as decisões contábeis melhora a transparência e a confiabilidade dos relatórios financeiros, o que beneficia investidores, reguladores e partes interessadas ao reforçar a governança corporativa e a estabilidade do mercado. O experimento empregou um delineamento 2×2 que manipulou a familiaridade com as normas contábeis (International Accounting Standard [IAS] 18 vs. International Financial Reporting Standards [IFRS] 15) e a complexidade da tarefa. Os preparadores de demonstrações financeiras concluíram uma tarefa de contabilização de receitas. Comparamos as decisões dos participantes usando uma análise de variância e testes de razão de variância para medir o ruído nos julgamentos entre os participantes dos quatro grupos. Além disso, medimos a experiência do preparador com base em seu tempo de experiência na profissão contábil. Os resultados indicam que a familiaridade com as normas e a complexidade da tarefa não afetaram significativamente a tomada de decisão. No entanto, uma maior familiaridade com uma norma levou a decisões mais variadas. Curiosamente, mesmo em tarefas complexas, a familiaridade com uma norma aumentou a variabilidade da decisão. Além disso, preparadores menos experientes exibiram maior variabilidade em suas decisões entre tarefas complexas e não complexas do que preparadores mais experientes. Essas descobertas sugerem que os preparadores de demonstrações financeiras no Brasil estão se adaptando às novas normas e destacam o impacto da experiência no efeito da complexidade da tarefa sobre o julgamento contábil.
