AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study the impact of the transition to IFRS on financial assets and liabilities reported by non-financial companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. It uses data from the individual financial statements for the comparative year 2011, prepared under both Romanian accounting standards (RAS) and IFRS. Through a set of financial ratios involving information from balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, we study how the IFRS adoption affected financial assets and liabilities. We also test the empirical correlation between profitability (measured by ROE) and financial assets/ liabilities before and after the transition to IFRS. We find that financial instruments are very little affected by the change in the accounting system. However, the association between ROE and financial assets/ liabilities is of greater intensity for the IFRS data.

This paper analyses the potential impacts of the introduction of a new accounting standard, International Financial Reporting Standard 16 (IFRS 16) – Leases, on financial leverage and performance of entities. This new accounting standard was introduced on 13 January 2016, and will become effective on 1 January 2019; it will have material impacts on the financial statements of listed companies adopting IFRS and change the basic principles of the current accounting system. Our aim is to estimate the impacts of the application of IFRS 16 on listed issuers of financial statements and the different impacts that the new standard could have in different activity sectors. This research estimates the effects of IFRS 16 on the ratios of debt/total assets, EBITDA/revenues and debt/equity. The conclusions summarize the effects on entity performance and net financial position. The research shows that in the financial statements of the lessee, there will be important changes. In particular, in the balance sheet, there will be an increase in lease assets, an increase in financial liabilities and a decrease in equity, while in the income statement, there will be an increase in EBITDA and an increase in finance costs. The impact of the application of IFRS 16 will be different depending on the use of operating lease contracts among the different business sectors. Leases are an important and flexible source of financing; listed companies, using IFRS and U.S. GAAP, are estimated to have around US$ 3.3 trillion in lease commitments. Finally, this study aims to analyse the possible impacts of communication of entities, focusing on alternative performance measures.

This paper reviews fair value accounting method relative to historical cost accounting. Although both methods are widely used by entities in computing their income and financial positions, there is controversy over superiority. Historical cost accounting reports assets and liabilities at the initial price they were exchanged for at the time of the transaction. Conversely, fair value accounting quotes the prevailing price in the market. Nevertheless, while both methods of accounting affect financial statements, the impact of fair value accounting on the balance sheet and income statement is extreme due to the potential volatility of the method. Fair value accounting is deemed superior when compared to historical cost accounting because it reflects the current situation in the market whereas the later is based on the past. In addition, in relative terms, fair value accounting provides users with more current financial information and visibility.

Privatisation processes have begun in the last decades of last century. Many countries recognized the advantages of privatisation in the form of financial goals such as increasing state budget, lowering indebtedness and strengthening market economy. Furthermore, the presumption of privatisation is that private ownership is better for achieving higher profitability of a company. Financial statements are common expression tools for companies’ business performance and financial position. Since accounting information system is a system where business events should be recorded, main output of the system are basic financial statements. The main goal of this study was to investigate the impact of privatisation process on business performance on the example of the selected companies in the Republic of Croatia. For the purpose of the study, the theoretical analysis of privatisation effects on business performance was made. Other than that, the empirical analysis of the selected companies in Croatia was conducted. This analysis was performed in two ways. First, the analysis of the selected financial ratios before and after the privatisation process was done through quartile analysis. The observed financial ratios were gross profit margin, ROA, ROE, total assets turnover and total economy ratio. To gain the individual impact of the privatisation process a deeper analysis of the selected ratios was conducted on the same research sample. Research results based on quartile analysis indicated that there is a difference between profitability prior and after privatisation and the privatized companies are more successful than the observed state-owned companies. However, based on the individual analysis’ research results the hypothesis that privately owned companies are more successful than the state-owned companies is only partially confirmed.

This study evaluates the IFRS adoption on the financial statements and taxation of Greek companies at the construction industry in Greece, which are listed at the Athens Stock Exchange. The research computes the taxation amount paid and employs twelve accounting measures for the analysis of financial statements for the IFRS transition period (three years before and after their adoption in Greece). Regarding the taxation, the amount paid in the pre- to post-IFRS period was considerably decreased (about 28%). Regarding the examined accounting measures, the transition to IFRS lead to a deterioration of some basic financial ratios (more specifically, five profitability ratios) and could, therefore, affect the overall profitability and performance of the examined companies in their industry sector. Our results provide also evidence that IFRS adoption increased firm value, while a lower level of earnings can influence accounting quality and could be examined further as a red flag for earnings manipulation. The present study, as a recent empirical result of the IFRS impact and taxation on the construction sector in Greece, could be useful for policy makers, tax and other state authorities or managers.
