The Impact

Although there has been considerable research on the impact of corporate governance on corporate voluntary disclosure, empirical evidence on how governance affects compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements is limited. We contribute to governance and disclosure literature by examining the impact of corporate governance on compliance with IFRS 7 for the banking sector in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). We use a self-constructed disclosure index to measure compliance with IFRS 7. We use regression analyses to examine the impact of board characteristics, audit committee characteristics and ownership structure on compliance with IFRS 7. Using a sample of 335 bank-year observations for GCC listed banks over the period 2011–2017, we report evidence that corporate governance variables affect compliance with IFRS 7. However, the significance of these variables depends on the type of the regression model used. Our findings suggest that governance matters for mandatory disclosure requirements. So to improve the level of compliance, regulators, official authorities, and policymakers should intensify their efforts toward improving corporate governance codes, following up their implementation and enhancing the enforcement mechanisms.

The Impact

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the application of IFRS 9 on the faithful representation of financial accounting information in Jordanian commercial banks. To achieve this objective, the study used the descriptive analytical approach to analyze a questionnaire that was answered by the managers of 13 commercial banks, which are listed in Amman stock exchange. The researchers distributed 78 questionnaires, while 76 were retrieved with a percentage of 97%. Additionally, the study relied on the descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and the simple regression to analyze the study data, and hypotheses. As a result, the study found a significant impact for the application of IFRS 9 to the faithful representation of financial accounting information. Relied on the aforementioned consequence, the study recommended that there is a necessity for financial departments to focus on measuring their financial obligations, as well as focusing on the development of accounting policies during the application of the standard. In addition, the study concludes that it is important for these banks to have an adequate knowledge of accounting standards in general, while standard No “9” specifically.

The Impact

This dissertation comprises three distinct chapters. The first chapter examines whether accounting quality improves for firms voluntarily adopting IFRS by using a single country setting of Swiss firms. The Swiss setting enables isolating the effect of the change from accounting standards from changes in reporting enforcement. I find that voluntary adopters exhibit significant improvement in accounting quality metrics in the post-adoption period. Classifying the adopters in non-serious or serious adopters based on their actual reporting changes around the adoption, I find that the non-serious adopters do not face accounting quality improvements in the post-adoption period. Overall, the evidence points towards the explanation that accounting quality is mainly shaped by reporting incentives. The second chapter examines the new Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model’s impact on the predictability of loan loss provisions (LLP) and potential market discipline consequences. I examine whether the arguably less objective LLP under IFRS 9 obscure market participants’ ability to monitor the banks’ risk-taking incentives. The empirical findings suggest a decrease in the association between loan loss provisions and the incurred loss model determinants in the post-IFRS 9 period, i.e., LLP are based less on objective determinants after IFRS adoption. Furthermore, I find a decrease in the sensitivity of leverage to changes in risk in the post-adoption period of IFRS 9, indicating an attenuated market discipline over banks’ risk-taking. In contrast, I find no changes in the determinants of LLP and market discipline for the benchmark sample of U.S. banks, which were not subject to similar accounting changes during the sample period. The third chapter examines whether banks change the accounting designation of derivatives after ASU 2017-12. I investigate the impact of the new standard on earnings volatility within different groups of derivative users. Using detailed quarterly data on financial derivatives for bank holdings, I find that the level of earnings volatility and the ASU 2017-12 influence the banks’ decisions to use hedge accounting. In assessing the impact within groups of derivative users, I find evidence that banks that designate derivatives for hedge accounting purposes exhibit a lower level of earnings volatility around the adoption of ASU 2017-12 as opposed to banks that elect not to apply hedge accounting. I also find that banks that elect to use hedge accounting for the first time after adopting the standard update exhibit decreased earnings volatility. Overall, the findings confirm the FASB’s initial intention of introducing the accounting standard’s update.

Mean Compliance

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the impact of the characteristics of two corporate governance mechanisms, namely, board of directors and audit committee (hereafter AC), on the level of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard [hereafter International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)] 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” (hereafter FID). Design/methodology/approach Using a self-constructed checklist of 128 items, this research measures the compliance with IFRS 7 of 63 Canadian financial institutions listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange during a period of three years (2014-2016). Fixed effect panel regressions have been used to capture the individual effect present in authors’ data. Findings Empirical results show that the mean compliance level with IFRS 7 requirements is about 77 per cent and identify various areas of non-compliance. This level of compliance has a positive linkage with the board size and independence. Similarly, the AC independence and financial accounting expertise are shown to positively affect authors’ dependent variable. Nevertheless, CEO/chairman duality, AC size and meeting frequency are not significantly correlated with the level of compliance with IFRS 7. Originality/value This study expands prior compliance literature in the Canadian setting by examining the determinants of compliance with IFRS mandatory disclosures. Also, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is among the first studies that have investigated the effect of corporate governance characteristics (hereafter CGC) on compliance with all IFRS 7 requirements in general.

The Impact

From January 1, 2018, most of the commercial banks in Kosovo adopted IFRS 9. The new standard introduces the expected credit loss model to allow for timely recognition of credit losses, estimated not only on the actual credit loss but also on forward-looking information regarding the current loan portfolio. Although, transition phases may lead to increasing impairments and a decrease in banks’ equity, which directly influences the financial stability of banks. This paper examines the day-one transition effect of IFRS 9 on the level of assets balance, allowance for loan losses, and capital regulatory class II of banks in Kosovo. To test our hypothesis, we have performed a comparative analysis for the six biggest commercial banks in Kosovo to identify correlation and causality between studied variables. As a statistical technique, we have employed a “paired sample t-test” where we compare financial indicators before and after adopting IFRS 9 to examine the impact on financial stability for commercial banks in Kosovo. Our results are in line with the results of recent studies in the IFRS 9 field and conclude that the transition phase has a significant influence on the recognition of additional loan impairment but assets and capital regulations are not affected significantly. Results demonstrate the transition to IFRS 9 causes instability and re-consolidation of capital, but in the long-run reduce the possibility for large and sudden losses. Commercial banks in Kosovo should follow a balanced growth approach without compromising the quality of the loan portfolio.
