Resumen
Los activos de infraestructura son activos físicos de larga duración, que una entidad del sector
público posee como medio para proporcionar bienes y/o servicios públicos. Las Normas
Internacionales de Contabilidad del Sector Público requieren que la propiedad, planta y equipo
de la entidad sea reconocida, aplicando el mismo principio general de reconocimiento inicial
de los activos fijos. Sin embargo, muchas entidades no logran realizar el adecuado
reconocimiento y medición de sus obras publicas como activo fijo. El objetivo de la presente
investigación es reconocer y medir las obras públicas como activos fijos correctamente, en un
gobierno local. La problemática se abordó mediante una investigación de tipo cualitativa
basado en un caso de estudio de un gobierno local. Se realizo la recopilación de datos mediante
revisión documentaria y entrevista al personal de las oficinas de contabilidad y gestión
patrimonial. Efectivamente se corrobora que existe un margen de trabajadores que desconocen
las funciones a cumplir del área donde labora, así como también, desconoce la normativa
vigente como son las NICSP 17 y la Directiva N° 005-2016-EF/51.01 de alcance nacional;
asimismo, se establecieron las bases donde no se está aplicando los criterios de reconocimiento
y medición de obras públicas como activo fijo, por lo que tampoco se estaría teniendo una
información real sobre la depreciación de propiedad, planta y equipo; por lo tanto, afectaría en
los resultados de los estados financieros de la entidad.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived physical assets held by a public sector entity as a means of providing public goods and/or services. International Public Sector Accounting Standards require that an entity's property, plant, and equipment be recognized, applying the same general principle of initial recognition as fixed assets. However, many entities fail to properly recognize and measure their public works as fixed assets. The objective of this research is to correctly recognize and measure public works as fixed assets in a local government. The problem was addressed through qualitative research based on a case study of a local government. Data collection was conducted through a document review and interviews with accounting and asset management office staff. It was confirmed that there is a significant number of workers who are unfamiliar with the functions of their respective departments and are also unfamiliar with current regulations such as IPSAS 17 and National Directive No. 005-2016-EF/51.01. Likewise, the bases were established where the criteria for recognizing and measuring public works as fixed assets are not being applied, so there would also be no real information on the depreciation of property, plant, and equipment; therefore, this would affect the results of the entity's financial statements.
