The study aimed to investigate the influence of convergence with international
accounting standards of the IASB in smoothing levels in Brazilian companies. Research with
quantitative approach, based on the model of Barth, Landsman and Lang (2008), was carried
out of the financial statements of 123 companies in the period 2005-2007 (pre-IFRS) and
2010-2012 (post-IFRS) totaling 357 observations in the pre and 335 comments in the post
IFRS period. The first measure of GR used, variability in profit, showed the greatest variation
in the pre-IFRS period, representing greater smoothing evidence in the results after
convergence. The income smoothing is treated in the literature as proxy of GR. According to
Lang et al. (2003), Leuz, Nanda and Wysocki (2003), Ball and Shivakumar (2005; 2006),
