The aim of this paper is to assess the differences between the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs) requirements and national financial reporting practices. For this purpose, the IASB’s checklist was applied to a sample of financial statements prepared in Italy by non-listed manufacturing companies. The results reveal the major differences existing in the presentation of financial statements, as well as in narrative disclosure practices in management commentary and notes. Furthermore, econometric analysis suggests that the differences are influenced by certain exploratory factors, namely, profitability, leverage, size and parent company relationship. This study offers new insights into the roles of certain exploratory factors that are likely to influence the movement towards the application of the IFRS for SMEs.

<p>This study examines three important aspects of financial reporting practice of Small and Medium sized Entities (SMEs) in developing economy. First, the study investigates the existing reporting practices of SMEs in Mongolia. Second, the study considers the expected impact for Mongolian SMEs of adopting the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs). Third, the study examines the relationships between the economic characteristics of SMEs and both their reporting practice and the expected impact of adoption of the IFRS for SMEs. The study adopts a mixed method approach with a quantitative survey questionnaire and qualitative semi-structured interviews. The study developed a survey questionnaire and obtained 102 responses: 67 responses from employee account preparers of SMEs and 35 responses from accounting practitioners of Public Accounting Firms (PAFs) engaged with SMEs. The results of the survey were analysed using a range of non-parametric tests and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The qualitative semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight standard-setters, educators and information users and analysed using Nvivo. Overall, the research findings suggest that in Mongolia there is a low level of compliance with international financial reporting standards. It appears that preparers and users perceive a low level of net benefits from compliance. Surprisingly, the results indicate that the economic characteristics of SMEs do not appear to influence their reporting practice. Adoption of the IFRS for SMEs is expected to increase the level of compliance by SMEs.</p>

Definition Of

Consolidated financial statements present aggregated information for parent company and its subsidiaries. For non-wholly owned subsidiaries, International Financial Reporting Standards require non-controlling interest to be presented within consolidated equity to distinguish it from the amount of equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent. Since 2014, new standards on consolidation introduced broadened disclosure requirements for subsidiaries with material non-controlling interest. Definition of material non-controlling interest however is not included in the standards. The article provides the analysis of the financial statements published by companies listed on Prague Stock Exchange. Main focus is given to assessment criteria applied to identify material non-controlling interest. Consequently, study of compliance with the disclosure requirements for selected companies has been undertaken. The results of the analysis indicate whether value relevance of financial statements has been improved as a result of the new disclosures.

High Uncertainty

This study examines factors affecting the value-relevance of financial and nonfinancial disclosure in the context of the long contentious International Financial Reporting Standard 6 (IFRS 6). Relative to the capitalization of R&D expenditures, IFRS 6 follows a far less restrictive approach, delaying the requirement for probable future economic benefits in settings of high uncertainty. We compare the value-relevance of this asset with that of nonfinancial information commonly reported by mining firms, namely mineral resource estimates. We report evidence that investors utilize nonfinancial information to assess the value-relevance of financial information, initially focusing on whichever information is timelier. We do not find evidence that investors prefer conservative reporting practices in a setting with high uncertainty; rather we provide evidence that investors interpret the capitalization decision as a signal of project viability. This finding is of particular relevance to the ongoing Intangible Assets project being conducted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). JEL classifications: G12, G14

Information about the segments of a company is an important basis for making business decisions. In order for decisions based on segment information to be adequate, that information should be communicated in accordance with regulations. This paper is aimed at examining the adequacy of the segment information of listed companies in the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Croatia and determining whether the volume of disclosed financial segment information is related to the company size and character of the audit firm. The research reveals that, in general, the disclosure of segment information is not fully in line with the International Financial Reporting Standard 8 - Operating Segments and that the joint-stock companies with a higher value of their total assets disclose financial segment information in more detail. However, there is no statistically significant difference in the amount of the segment information disclosed between the companies whose financial statements are audited by large audit firms and those that are the clients of other audit firms.

To achieve this, data were collected from financial statements prepared using IFRS for the periods 2012-2016, and financial statements prepared using Nigeria GAAP for the periods 2007-2011, i.e. pre and post IFRS adoption in Nigeria for a period of 5years each. Analysis was conducted to test for the significance level of ROE, PAT/Sales, CA/CL, and debt-to-equity using mean, standard deviation of ratios, and T-test (paired) for both periods.
