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.

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.
