The Impact

The complexity of audit committee experience, including the overseas experience, has an important impact on corporate governance. In this paper, we study the impact of the overseas experiences of the members of audit committee on audit fees. Our empirical analysis and results show that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly increase audit fees. Further, the positive influence of the audit committee overseas experience on audit fees is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and regions with weak marketization. In addition, we divide the overseas experience into overseas learning experience and overseas working experience. We find that both types of experience present in the audit committee significantly increase the audit fees. Finally, we find that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly improve the quality of accounting information and play a positive role in corporate governance.

The Impact

The quality of accounting information cannot be separated from the adopted accounting standards. More than 87% of countries worldwide have implemented IFRS standards as financial guidelines in their countries. The goal of IFRS is to make companies more transparent and flexible in producing accounting information based on which users can predict future investment values. The purpose of this article is a systematic literature review on the quality of accounting information associated with adopting IFRS. The sample of this study - 125 articles reviewed in four main classifications: research subject areas, measurement of accounting information quality, theoretical approaches, and research methods. Previous research was obtained from online databases such as Science Direct, Emerald Group, Sage Journal, and Taylor & Francis. The PICO framework in this study was applied to minimize bias from previous studies. The analysis results show that average the most articles on the quality of accounting information were found in journals categorized in the accounting field. Most studies have been found on the European continent regarding the quality of accounting information – 52 (37.7%). Determining the quality of accounting information requires several tests. As a result, 49 (38.8%) and 47 (37.1%) articles emphasize the accrual test model and value relevance model in assessing the quality of accounting information. The results show that 56 articles (44.8%) use the regression analysis method to test value relevance, accrual, and timely loss reporting models.

It also elaborates on factors which could affect the quality of accounting information – by way of reference to contributing elements of the audit expectations gap. As a result, it recommends measures aimed at addressing issues being faced by jurisdictions which have implemented accounting and legislative reforms as a means of improving the quality of accounting information.

The Impact

The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of the early adoption of IFRS on the value relevance of accounting information among the CAC 40 listed companies.In our study we adopted the Ohlson (1995) models in order to study the value relevance of accounting information. Our data was collected manually .The period 2002-2004 was used as the pre anticipation of the IFRS and the period 2004-2006 was used as the post anticipation of the IFRS .The problem therefore of our research is the following is: What is the effect of the early adoption of IFRS on the quality of the accounting information?In the study, our estimates focused on two panels: panel A and panel B. After analyzing the various estimates we found that the early adoption of IFRS has enabled companies in panel A, companies which adopted IFRS in an anticipated manner, to provide investors with accounting information with greater value relevance compared to the companies of panel B.Thanks to this study we can confirm that the early adoption of IFRS significantly enhanced the quality of accounting information for panel A.
