Ifrs Adoption

The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) adoption on the quality of accounting performance and efficiency of investment decisions in the Saudi business environment as an emerging economy. In this study, content analysis approach is adopted for examining the annual reports of Saudi companies listed in Saudi stock exchange market during two periods: the pre-adoption of IFRS period during the year of 2016 and the post-adoption of IFRS period during the period 2017-2018. The study uses accounting information, accounting conservatism, earning management as alternative variables of accounting performance quality. In addition to accounting profit quality, liquidity and cost of capital are also used as alternative variables for the efficiency of investment decisions. The study finds that there was a positive impact of IFRS adoption on the quality of accounting performance, since it was positively related to both the qualitative characteristics of information and accounting conservatism, while it was negatively related to earning management. IFRS also improves the efficiency of investment decisions, as it was positively related to both profit quality and liquidity while it was negatively related to cost of capital.

Ifrs Adoption

This research approaches the influence of smoothing on persistence, two time-series properties of the same earnings stream, considering the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in Brazil. This influence is interesting from the possibility of the disclosure to inform stability to influence the information quality for valuation. The objective was to investigate whether the IFRS adoption modified the smoothing-persistence relation. We inserted dummies in autoregressive models, to identify the influence of smoothing on persistence regarding different accounting environments. The findings show that (i) the IFRS adoption increased the quality of earnings; (ii) the IFRS shifted the role of smoothing, that previously increased and then decreased the persistence; and (iii) the smoothing suppressed the benefits for information quality brought by IFRS adoption. We conclude that IFRS increased the informational level of earnings, evidencing that interferences to mitigate impacts on reported income ceased to increase and started to decrease its usefulness.

Ifrs Adoption

The objective in this study is to examine empirically changes in the level of conservatism of corporate accounting information in Indonesia as a result of the use of Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS) adopted by IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Conservatism was measured using the Market-to-Book bias component model (Beaver and Ryan, 2000). This study uses the Financial Statement data from 178 companies, 2007 to 2016, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using multiple regression models that place accounting conservatism as a dependent variable while IFRS adoption, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and public ownership as independent variables, this study proves that IFRS adoption does not affect the level of conservatism of accounting information. The size of the firm (size) and the composition of debt (leverage) is a control variable that participates in controlling the model of this study. Keywords: IFRS adoption, conservatism of accounting information.

Ifrs Implementation

This paper discusses empirical research examining the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on cost of capital. Using a sample of 1.173 observations of publicly listed companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the fiscal year that ends on December 31, 2006 through 2013, this research finds evidence of positive relationship between IFRS implementation and cost of capital. This means that in post adoption period, the cost of capital increase. This result is inconsistent with investor’s expectation, in which IFRS implementation will reduce information asymmetry which in turn decreases cost of capital. When analysis is decomposed into per sector’s analysis, the results are inconsistent. For some sectors, IFRS adoption does not have impact on the cost of capital, whereas for the others IFRS adoption positively affect the cost of capital. This study provides further evidence on the economic consequence of IFRS implementation on cost of capital using data from emerging market with low-level coercion which is Indonesian Capital Market.

Before And After

This study evaluates the prevalence of earnings management to avoid losses and earnings decreases across the World. This practice was first documented by Burgstahler and Dichev (1997) for United States firms from 1976 to 1987. We replicate their study for a more recent and global sample. Firms that do not seem to manage earnings do avoid reporting earnings decreases, but we found persistent evidence of earnings management to avoid reporting losses. The results are consistent across different geographical regions, countries, and before and after International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption. Unlike Burgstahler and Dichev (1997), however, we were not able to find evidence on which components of earnings (cash flow from operations, changes in working capital, or other accruals) firms mainly manage to increase earnings, concluding they likely use a bundle of all these components. Our results are important mainly to financial analysts and general investors, who should be careful in giving good prospects to firms who presented small profits since they are likely small losses artificially managed to look better, a practice widely spread across time and geographical regions among IFRS adopters and non-adopters.

PurposeCredit relevance of financial reporting can be influenced by change in financial reporting framework. This study aims to examine the effect of mandatory international financial reporting standards (IFRS) adoption on credit relevance quality of financial reporting of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses difference-in-differences (D-in-D) design for its modelling. Panel data regression analysis based on the D-in-D model is used in analysing the data collected from secondary sources.FindingsThe findings of this study are that based on the D-in-D approach, there is a significant and positive effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on credit relevance quality of financial reporting of DMBs in Nigeria, and that there is also a significant difference in the credit relevance quality of financial reporting of mandatory adopting banks in the post-mandatory IFRS adoption period compared to pre-mandatory IFRS adoption period.Research limitations/implicationsTo the best of this study's review, there is inadequacy of literature within the credit relevance research in Nigeria. In the light of this, this study intends to fill the gap.Practical implicationsThis study is specifically important to regulatory authorities, both primary and secondary regulators. Specifically, this study has implications in the regulatory roles of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC). However, the study recommends that regulatory authorities should encourage DMBs to avail their financial reports annually to credit rating agencies (local and international) for proper evaluation for subsequent ratings.Originality/valueThe peculiarities in this study, that is the utilisation of the D-in-D design and the use of credit relevance metric as the dependent variable, made this study important and novel to push the frontier of existing knowledge.
