RIVERA GODOY, Jorge Alberto. Accounting Performance and EVA in the SME of the Leather, Footwear and Leather Goods Industry in Colombia. rev.univ.empresa [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.38, pp.131-159. ISSN 0124-4639.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/empresa/a.7335.

This article presents the results of an investigation that aims to evaluate the financial performance of the SME of the leather, footwear, and leather goods sector in Colombia in the period 2010-2016, by means of a study that follows as a methodology the analysis of accounting indicators and economic value added that measure its growth, efficiency, and effectiveness. The research showed that this sector’s SME generates accounting returns in the period, which are superior in small business because they have greater efficiency in the administration of production and sales costs, and greater efficiency in the use of the assets and positive financial leverage. SMES destroy economic value added (EVA) in each of the years; however, small business is the one that least destroys EVA for each monetary unit invested. This destruction of value is due to the fact that the cost of financial resources is higher than the operating income after taxes. These findings will be strengthened with similar studies for more homogeneous SMES in age and geographic location.
