Initial Research

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are global, identical, high-quality and comprehensive standards for financial reporting that have been developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The objective of the current study is to represent a model for the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standards in Iran. This study is an applied research and can be considered a qualitative research. A survey is applied in this regard. The statistical population of the study consisted of members of the accounting faculty of universities, financial managers, and boards of directors of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and the Iran Fara Stock Exchange. In this study, the snowball sampling method was used. In this research, 15 experts were initially selected as the initial research sample, then 25 people were added to the initial research volume, and 40 people were selected as the final sample. Based on the results of the interpretive structural model, cultural factors are the prerequisites for all factors that affect the adoption and dissemination of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the cost and benefits of applying IFRS have the same greater impact on the adoption and dissemination of these standards.

The Impact

This paper presents evidence regarding the post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) anomaly for the Greek market in the years 2000–2006 (covering earnings announcements in the years 2001–2007). The impact of the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards on the size and prevalence of the PEAD anomaly is examined. Unlike recent evidence for the US market we find PEAD to be alive and well, and of growing importance in our Greek sample. It may be the adoption of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) has served to reduce earnings predictability in Greece and thus enhance PEAD in the Athens stock exchange (ASE) market. This contrasts strongly with US evidence that the post-earnings-announcement drift anomaly is now waning as more efficient markets and smarter, fundamentals-based, traders arbitrage its impact on stock prices.

Compliance Level

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of company attributes on compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The study used a sample of 46 listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) covering the period from 1993 to 2017. With an average compliance level of 88.21304, it is concluded that South Africa’s listed firms have significantly complied with IFRS 1. Using panel data to analyze the effects of company attributes, size and leverage have a significant positive effect on IFRS 1 compliance. On the other hand, the coefficients of Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Return on Total Assets (ROTA) are negative and significant. This similarly implies that ROTA and EPS are important factors driving the compliance level of the companies in South Africa with the IFRS 1 disclosure. EPS and ROTA also exhibit an inverse relationship with the compliance level. Carrying out a longitudinal study helps to produce more recent evidence on the quality of IFRS financial reports in South Africa. The outcome of the study is beneficial to international literature as it provides enough evidence on the benefits of adopting IFRS adoption.

The Impact

The need for international financial reporting standards (IFRS) emerged due to the increasing degree of interdependence between global capital markets and the need for investors to obtain reliable and honest financial information in expressing economic events, in order to find a common financial language, and this is what IFRS provide. Nevertheless, the research aimed to measure the impact of the adoption of IFRS on the quality of earnings in the Iraqi banks listed in the Iraqi Stock Exchange for a sample of 30 banks. The Beneish model was used to measure the quality of earnings, while Mann-Whitney was used to measure and prove the hypothesis of the research. However, the research reached a set of conclusions, including that although the IFRS should contribute to improving the quality of financial reporting, the adoption of these standards in commercial banks listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange did not contribute to achieving quality in earnings even after adopting those standards. Furthermore, a Beneish model is an important tool for auditors, financial analysts, investors, and creditors who have the ability to understand the financial statements or those who have a reasonable understanding of the nature of those financial statements in measuring the quality of earnings, because it is a simple and easy to implement tool.

Students Attitudes

The purpose of this paper is to examine the perceptions of a sample of Kuwaiti students about their knowledge and interest on the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the usefulness of learning IFRS. A questionnaire survey is used in this study to identify the attitudes of the students towards adoption IFRS in Kuwait. Questionnaires were distributed to 350 students who study in colleges of business administration in Kuwait. They were asked to express their perception about the adoption of IFRS. 228 questionnaires returned completed resulting in 65% usable response rate. The surveyed students gained knowledge about IFRS through their academic program. Most of the surveyed students knew nothing about IFRS before taking an accounting course that addresses the IFRS Standards. They became interested in learning more about IFRS after studying an accounting course. The surveyed students demonstrated that they acquired information about IFRS through formal academic lectures and the Internet. Yet, they prefer to study more about IFRS through formal lectures, practical case studies applied to Kuwaiti companies and seminars. There is consensus among the respondents that the business administration academic program must have more about IFRS offered as elective courses. Although Kuwait was one of the Middle Eastern countries that adopt IFAS, the vast majority of the students who took part in survey indicated that they were not aware of this. This gives clear indication that the financial reporting courses offered in business colleges in Kuwait are theoretical and hardly use the financial reports of companies listed on the national stock exchange as cases studies. The respondents believe studying IFRS helps in mastering accounting measurements and disclosure and this would help in proceeding in their studies and support them in developing their future career.

This paper examines the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption on financial performance of eleven (11) deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as at December 31, 2014. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was used to test whether significant differences exist in the profitability, liquidity and leverage ratios of the selected banks using IFRS and Nigerian Statement of Accounting Standards (SAS) based financial statements. The results show that adoption of IFRS does significantly affect financial performance of Nigerian deposit money banks. Specifically, IFRS adoption significantly and positively affects profitability of Nigerian deposit money banks, while it significantly, but negatively affects their liquidity and financial leverage. The study recommends continuous enlightenment campaigns on the potential effects of IFRS implementation by the regulatory authorities, professional bodies and the government as more and more firms in Nigeria change from SAS based financial reporting to IFRS. Furthermore, firms should endeavour to use the opportunity presented by the IFRS to improve their business processes in all ramifications so as to promote uniformity and transparency.

Defined Benefit Plans

In deze bijdrage wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek naar (a) de bepalingen van IAS 19 Employee Benefits inzake de te hanteren disconteringsvoet voor de waardering van toegezegde-pensioenverplichtingen (‘defined-benefit plans’, DB), (b) de verschillen in benaderingen waarmee in de actuariële praktijk de disconteringsvoet wordt bepaald en (c) de gevolgen van een wijziging in de disconteringsvoet voor de jaarrekening. Geconcludeerd wordt dat IAS 19 ruimte biedt om de disconteringsvoet op diverse wijzen vast te stellen. In de actuariële praktijk worden methoden gehanteerd die tot aanzienlijke verschillen in de op basis van IAS 19 toegepaste disconteringsvoet (kunnen) leiden. Om inzicht te verschaffen in hoeverre ondernemingen door de keuze van de te hanteren disconteringsvoet (of actuarieel adviesbureau) het eigen vermogen en/of resultaat (kunnen) beïnvloeden, is onderzoek gedaan naar de jaarrekening van ondernemingen die per ultimo 2012 aan de Amsterdam Stock Exchange (AEX) waren genoteerd. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat bijna alle AEX-fondsen die informatie verstrekken over gevoeligheid van de pensioenverplichting voor wijzigingen in de disconteringsvoet, een disconteringsvoet hanteren die zich bevindt op of aan de bovenkant van de range die ultimo 2012 werd geadviseerd door actuariële bureaus. Dat kan wijzen op een tendentie bij die ondernemingen om het effect van DB-regelingen op de jaarrekening te beperken. Aan de hand van deze jaarrekeningen is vervolgens het (maximale) effect van het gebruik van een andere (i.c. laagste) disconteringsvoet onderzocht. Geconcludeerd wordt dat het hanteren van de laagste disconteringsvoet in de markt bij deze ondernemingen tot een toename van de pensioenverplichting van in totaal 25 miljard euro zou leiden -voor alle AEX-fondsen wordt dit geschat op een kleine 35 miljard- en dientengevolge tot een verlaging van het eigen vermogen met gemiddeld circa 16%. Het effect op de pensioenlasten wordt geschat op een toename van gemiddeld 30%. Een eventueel belastingeffect is hierbij buiten beschouwing gelaten. Gebruikers van jaarrekeningen dienen zich te realiseren dat de disconteringsvoet door ondernemingen als mogelijk ‘sturingsinstrument’ van solvabiliteit en resultaat kan worden gehanteerd. In dat kader is het positief dat de nieuwe IAS 19 (2011) informatie vereist over de gevoeligheid van de pensioenverplichting voor wijzigingen in de disconteringsvoet. Om echter recht te doen aan de doelstelling van de International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) – het verstrekken van informatie op gelijke grondslagen om ondernemingen te kunnen vergelijken – is het wenselijk dat de IAS 19-bepalingen inzake de vaststelling van de disconteringsvoet nader worden verduidelijkt, bijvoorbeeld door de IFRS Interpretatie Committee (IFRS IC).

Malaysia and Singapore are the top two successful economies in the ASEAN region. They are converging their national accounting standards with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in an attempt to be more globalised. The globalisation of financial reporting standard is not just accounting focus but also for enhancing the quality and transparency of financial reporting of the firms in these countries. Investors and the other stakeholders rely on financial information reported by the firms on their websites to enable the information to access globally. This study focuses on the globalisation of financial reporting standards, corporate governance and transparency practice by the firms listed on Bursa Malaysia and Singapore. It is to analyse the level of financial reporting quality of the firms in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their annual reports by using disclosure analysis. Additionally, it determines the association between the financial reporting quality with IFRS compliance, and corporate governance and transparency practice of the firms listed on the main markets of Bursa Malaysia and main board of Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX), using multiple regression analysis. The finding of this study highlights the association of higher level of financial reporting quality with IFRS compliance of the firms, and their good corporate governance and transparency practice are positively associated in these two countries. This study also provides some opportunities to achieve sustainable convergence with the International Financial Reporting Standards of the firms by improving corporate governance and transparency in ASEAN countries.Keywords: International Financial Reporting Standards; Corporate Governance; Transparency and Disclosure Practice; Malaysia and Singapore.
