Book excerpt: This paper uses the classification of accounting systems as a guide to explore the impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) reporting rules on corporate financial statements and financial ratios in comparison to their local counterparts in selected European countries. In this study, it was found that the research in different countries on Europe yield different results and the impact of IFRS is not homogeneous due to different country backgrounds and different socio-cultural traditions. The assumption that the impact of IFRS adoption correlates with membership in a certain group of classification of accounting systems was weakly confirmed. It had been found that the impact of these changes on financial ratios is more pronounced in Southern Europe: Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal and to a lesser extent in Turkey. The impact is less pronounced in the countries of Northern and Central Europe: Germany, Poland, Finland and Sweden. The impact was significant and negative in Hungary.These findings are to an extent supported by the classification of National accounting systems by Nobes 1983 and 1989. However, a new research on classification needs to be performed because of recent developments,the significant impact of the global financial crisis and also because it has been awhile since the original classification was developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now we have different accounting or financial reporting systems in different countries. This may be detrimental for capital market participants with worldwide activities who expect advantages in the application of only one system. The use of one system may provide network effects. If they exist, the benefits for users increase the more users adopt the same system. When accounting systems compete in terms of network effects, the decisions for using a system are interdependent and can be modeled by means of game theory. This book analyses how network effects in terms of accounting systems can be defined, how those effects may affect investors, corporations and standard setters, how adoption patterns of accounting systems may be modeled and what drives adoption decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial reporting practices differ widely between countries and this has far-reaching implications for multinational businesses. Over more than a century, there have been attempts to classify countries into groups by similarities of practices. With the recent spread of International Financial Reporting Standards, it might appear that classification is largely of historical interest, but this is not the case, for several reasons explained in this book. Christopher Nobes offers a critical analysis of the many previous accounting classifications, having drawn lessons from other fields of science and social science. Revised and updated to reflect the IFRS era, the book discusses how old classifications are reflected in today’s international differences in practice under IFRS. It concludes with a discussion on the most useful classifications, and how classifications can still be relevant in the era of international standards. This book will be essential for academics, postgraduates and undergraduates in international accounting, accounting theory and to international accounting professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional and commonly held wisdom with respect to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is that they lead to improved financial reporting quality and comparability and thereby favorable economic consequences. There are however contradicting evidences disproving this conventional wisdom or rejecting its gross generalization over the entire jurisdictions harmonizing on IFRS. Driven by this fact, quests for knowledge about the dynamics and contexts that lead to differential effects of IFRS get momentum. In an attempt to explore the insight into the effects of international accounting harmonization by way of IFRS adoption, this paper reviews selected literatures on consequences of IFRS adoption. This review discusses some empirical evidences that have been reported in various countries that include Europe, USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Norway, Greece, Poland, Belgian, France, Italy, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Jordan, China, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Kenya and Nigeria. Our review focuses on the aspects of value relevance, disclosure quality, cost of capital, earning management and financial statement impact due to the IFRS adoption. This review reveals that economic consequences of IFRS adoption significantly differ across jurisdictions though being its impact reported to be positive in majority of cases. There are also notable number of studies that report indifferent and or negative effects of IFRS adoption. When IFRS studies report mixed evidence with respect to value relevance of book value of equity and earing, book value of equity supersedes the earning parameters. IFRS are found to supersede many other domestic financial reporting standards in terms of volume and quality of disclosures in financial statements. This review also obtains that IFRS' impact on the reduction of cost of capital depends on financial reporting incentives, law enforcement, types of legal systems and various other country and capital market specific characteristics. Further, though there are some evidences to the contrary, the quality of earnings reported under IFRS has been established to be superior to that under other local standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is said to produce higher quality accounting information, greater comparability of accounts, greater consistency of accounting processes, greater transparency between firms and lower costs of capital. However, there are arguments against the adoption of IFRS. The first objective of this study is to examine the accounting quality of IFRS earnings and equity, compared to the accounting quality of earnings and equity prepared under previous standards; that is GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) for United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore firms. The second objective is to investigate the effect of IFRS on the accounts (earnings and equity) of the average listed firm in United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Singapore. These three countries are chosen because of their comparable historical Anglo-accounting system roots, but deviations in approaches during the accounting standards harmonization era. This study focuses on the initial adoption of IFRS, which is the most appropriate time to measure and fully capture the impact of the changes of accounting standards from GAAP to IFRS. The reason for this is because IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Accounting Standards states that firms have to show reconciliations between previous GAAP and IFRS on (a) equity at the date of transition and the end of the latest period presented in the entity's most recent annual financial statements under GAAP, and (b) profit or loss of the latest period of the entity's most recent annual financial statements, with supplementary explanations necessary for understanding the transition. The results of this study shows the accounts of United Kingdom firms are most affected by the adoption of IFRSs when compared to Hong Kong and Singapore firms. Results also reveal that there is little evidence to conclude that financial statements prepared under IFRS are more market value relevant than financial statements prepared under GAAP.There is also little evidence to conclude that financial statements prepared under IFRSs are incrementally value relevant relative to financial statements prepared under GAAP. The conclusions are that countries that historically chose their GAAPs on selective IASs prior to the adoption of IFRSs were less affected by adjustments to companies equity and earnings. But these adjustments, even in the less harmonized companies in the United Kingdom, were not value relevant to the equity market.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar, language: English, abstract: Starting in 2005, the portion of foreign shareholders in the Dax has risen from 45% to 58% in the last decade. In the same year, the regulation of the European Union from 2002 came into effect which required all listed firms in the European Union to report their consolidated accounts in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) from 2005 on instead of each countries’ generally accepted accounting standards (GAAP). This is just one example where the volume of investments increased concurrently with the adoption of IFRS. Therefore, the question arises if the mandatory adoption of IFRS in the EU in 2005 or in other cases significantly affected and continues to affect investment decisions among adopters or third parties. In order to better account for differences between different types of investors and investees, we differentiate between retail investors, institutional investors and corporate finance activities. Moreover, we focus on the consequence of IFRS adoption on equity investment decisions as most research appears to focus on the equity instead of the credit market. Additionally, Lourenco & Branco point out that most research which finds no significant effects of IFRS adoption on investment decisions appears to focus on voluntary adoption before 2005. Thus, this paper mainly focuses on mandatory IFRS adoption. In this context, research suggests that mandatory IFRS adopters experience significant capital markets benefits as well as enhanced foreign institutional ownership and enhanced M&A activity. Ultimately, we observe four overarching drivers behind the aforementioned observations that impact investment decisions across different types of investors and investees.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international accounting classification literature emphasises the importance of understanding how institutional factors shape accounting regulations and practices. With the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the European Union and Australia in 2005, our empirical study examines whether three international accounting classification systems relating to equity financing, law and culture still had merit as measured on transition to IFRS and explore whether they are effective in grouping accounting systems. Using IFRS as the yardstick, we find statistically significant differences in the measurement of shareholders' equity as between strong (Class A) versus weak (Class B) equity financing systems, common law versus code law systems and cultural systems based on 'Anglo', 'Nordic' and 'More Developed Latin' cultural groups. With regard to the measurement of net income, however, we find statistically significant differences only in respect of strong (Class A) versus weak (Class B) equity financing systems. Our findings demonstrate that traditional international accounting system differences still persisted at the time of IFRS adoption even after long periods of harmonisation and growing international accounting convergence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, the European Union (EU) Parliament passed a regulation that requires consolidated and simple accounts for all companies listed in the EU to use International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years starting after January 1, 2005. This change in accounting systems will have a large impact on the information environment for EU companies. This paper provides a review of the literature on adoption of different GAAPs. We thus provide background and guidance for researchers studying the change in accounting quality following widespread IFRS adoption in the EU. We argue that cross-country differences in accounting quality are likely to remain following IFRS adoption because accounting quality is a function of the firm's overall institutional setting, including the legal and political system of the country in which the firm resides.

The unified accounting information system will lead to new types of analysis and data; furthermore, with the possible integration of new indicators from the practice of certain countries. Some economic characteristics and affects of international accounting standards are compared, measured and valued inside and outside of the European Union using mathematical-statistical methods. The results of applied regression model support that the greater demand for more informative and conservative accounting earnings due to performance evaluations at more widely held by businesses stimulating to adopt international accounting standards. Businesses with lower labor productivity compared to their industry peers have greater incentives to follow accounting standardization. The increase in the sensitivity of turnover to accounting performance post-adoption is primarily driven by heightened turnover sensitivity to accounting losses. The empirical results can be the author s suggestions for business management.
