会计作为国际通用的商业语言,推动国际间会计协调,增强各国会计信息的透明度和可比性无疑是经济全球化的必然要求。越来越多的企业出于各种动机开始自愿或被强制采纳国际财务报告准则编制财务报告。欧盟强制采纳国际财务报告准则实施成效的经验研究具有重要的现实意义。  相似文献

非上市企业的国际财务报告准则应用模式是目前国际会计的研究热点,也是各国会计准则制定者关注的焦点。本文以英国和德国非上市企业为样本,研究当欧洲全部上市公司强制使用国际财务报告准则的情境下,非上市企业是否会增加国际财务报告准则应用的期望。研究发现,企业规模、资本结构、组织形式、盈利能力和本土会计准则质量显著影响其会计准则选择的倾向性,企业特征影响因素存在国家差异,但处于不同国家并不会加剧或减弱某一企业特征的影响程度。由于欧洲国家对国际财务报告准则发展方向具有影响作用,本研究所得结果对国际财务报告准则未来在非上市企业层面进一步应用提供方向性支持。  相似文献

随着全球化的发展,我国越来越多的企业开展国际化经营,有必要统一采用国际会计准则以提高财务报告与其他国家的可比性。过去十多年,国际会计准则理事会(IASB)与各国会计标准制定机构紧密合作,促进各国的会计准则与国际财务报告准则(IFRS)的全面趋同。在2005年,欧盟要求其所有的上市公司强制采用国际财务报告准则。美国也积极促进美国公认会计原则(USGAAP),现IFRS实现逐渐趋同,自2014年起分阶段强制要求美国上市公司全面采用IFRS。目前,在世界范围内,已有100多个国家和地区实现了与IFRS的等效  相似文献

随着中国会计准则、审计准则与国际会计准则和国际审计准则的实质性趋同,肇始于2001年的针对发行境内上市外资股上市公司的强制境内境外审计(即所谓的"双重审计")自然失去了其存在的根由,由此,2007年9月12日中国证券监督管理委员会发布通知废除了"双重审计"的强制规定,而这将大大节约相关上市公司财务报告的编制成本和审计成本,消除两套标准披露可能引起的误解和歧义,进一步提高和保障上市公司财务信息披露透明度,从而有助于其股东价值的提升.本文采用事件研究法初步考察该政策的可能效果.研究发现,整体上,投资者并未给予积极的反应,不过先前采用同一集团审计模式的公司其市场反应显著好于先前采用不同集团审计模式的公司.  相似文献

随着全球资本市场的进一步发展,财务报告在提升投资者信心、确保国家和世界经济健康稳定发展方面的重要性越来越凸显。各利益相关方普遍认同建立并实施一套高质量的、全球通用的会计准则是保护投资者的重要手段。正因如此,国际财务报告准则受到越来越多的国家或地区青睐,这些国家或地区正在采用国际财务报告准则或使国内公认会计原则与之进行趋同。二十国集团和金融稳定理事会等重要国际组织提出倡议,希望世界主要准则制定机构共同努力,制定一套被全球认可的高质量会计准则体系。在会计准则日益全球化趋同背景下,尤其是为应对国际金融危机,会计准则制定机构团结协作,形成一致声音,对参与国际财务报告准则的制定,增强话语权,建立和完善全球统一的高质量会计准则体系具有重用意义。  相似文献

一、相关背景 采用国际财务报告准则或推动美国公认会计原则与之趋同,是美国相关监管部门的既定立场,然而事关全球最大资本市场的稳定和美国8000万个人投资者的利益,此前相关部门对此一直非常慎重.  相似文献

国际会计准则趋同:进程与现状   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
近年来,国际财务报告准则在世界各国的应用范围不断扩大,已经有100多个国家或地区直接采用国际财务报告准则或与之趋同,欧盟、澳大利亚、香港等国家或地区早自2005年起就开始采用国际准则.从2008年开始,会计国际趋同备受瞩目:加拿大、印度、韩国、日本等国相继宣布采用国际准则或与之趋同的计划.美国也加紧了与国际准则的趋同进程,并于2008年11月发布了采用国际准则的路线图.而金融危机爆发以来,尽管公允价值引发的相关会计问题成为会计界关注的热点,但美国证券交易委员会(SEC)趋同国际财务报告准则的决心依然毫不动摇.  相似文献

万幸 《中国保险》2012,(5):52-55
长期以来,世界各国对保险合同会计处理方式的规定各不相同.一方面,这使得很多跨国保险集团在编制合并财务报告时遇到了极大的困难;另一方面,它也使保险行业中的很多投资者对不同会计准则下同一家保险公司的财务报告结果迥异的现象倍感疑惑.正因如此,保险公司、投资者以及评级机构很早就呼吁在全球范围内建立一套统一的保险财务会计准则.国际会计准则理事会的主要目标正是开发和推广一套高质量的、易于理解的、可实施的全球公认的国际财务报告准则.  相似文献

Using a sample of Italian firms, this paper investigates whether separate financial statements are useful to capital market investors, and whether International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are more value-relevant than domestic generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These issues are key in evaluating the decision made by some states in the European Union to extend the use of IFRS to separate financial statements. The study provides evidence that separate financial statements are value-relevant, regardless of the accounting standard set. However, contrary to expectations, separate financial statements under IFRS do not have incremental information content beyond domestic GAAP. There is even some evidence that domestic GAAP financial statements are more value-relevant than IFRS. Finally, this paper documents the important role of model specification in value-relevance studies.  相似文献

For the period of 2006 to 2008, we collect Comment Letters issued by the SEC that question the application of US GAAP by US firms or the application of IFRS by European firms registered with the SEC. We investigate whether institutional investors react to the letters by changing their holdings and whether their responses vary for US registrants and European registrants. We do this via a treatment‐effects model in which we test the hypothesis that institutional investors rebalance their portfolio holdings because they view Comment Letters as informative public signals. We find that institutional investors reduce their equity holdings when firms receive SEC Comment Letters, and their negative reactions are most marked for low turnover institutional investors, who we use to represent those informed investors most prepared to incur costs to closely monitor firms. Next, while noting that the number of Letters questioning application of IFRS are smaller in number relative to those questioning application of US GAAP, we investigate whether there are different reactions to Comment Letters questioning different standards. We show that there is a higher probability of the SEC questioning the application of IFRS as compared to US GAAP. After controlling for firm‐specific conditions that impact the issuance of a Comment Letter, we show that this higher probability has economic significance because institutional investors’ react more negatively to Comment Letters that question the application of IFRS as compared to US GAAP. A content analysis confirms the economic importance of the Comment Letters. We find that in almost half of all IFRS cases the Comment Letters request amendments to financial statements.  相似文献

This paper investigates whether a country’s use of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) is associated with increased US investment in foreign equities. The recent global trend towards the use of IFRS may signal attempts by policy makers to reduce information asymmetries for international investors. However, a concern is that these standards must be accompanied by a stronger regulatory environment in order for them to gain legitimacy. Investor allocation choice is based on US holdings of foreign equities and the regulatory environment is interpreted using two distinct factors: the legal standards system and the enforcement regime. We document that US investment is associated with IFRS only when it is combined with a strong regulatory environment, specifically a strong enforcement regime. We also find that mandating IFRS is attractive to US investors only when combined with a strong regulatory environment.  相似文献

We examine the effectiveness of China’s IFRS adoption from the perspective of an important set of financial report users, foreign institutional investors. We find that foreign institutional investment does not increase after China’s IFRS adoption, and some evidence that it actually declines, particularly among firms with weaker incentives to credibly implement IFRS, or with greater ability to manipulate IFRS’s fair value provisions. We also find that the association between earnings and returns generally declines after IFRS adoption, consistent with reduced earnings quality. In addition, we find that foreign institutional investors’ returns decrease after China’s IFRS adoption. Finally, the decline in foreign institutional investment is greater among investors from countries with weak institutions that have also adopted IFRS. Taken together, our evidence suggests that the weak institutional infrastructure in China’s transitional economy impairs IFRS’s intended goal of attracting institutional investment through improved financial reporting quality. Further, financial information users’ home country institutions and IFRS adoption experience affect the effectiveness of IFRS adoption.  相似文献

This paper provides a perspective on the effect of IFRS adoption on the tendency of investors to under-invest in foreign equities. We consider explanations for the equity home bias described in prior research and discuss research relevant to the informational consequences of global adoption of IFRS. Specifically, we evaluate whether IFRS adoption reduces information processing costs or decreases investor uncertainty about either the quality of financial reporting or the distribution of future cash flows. We predict that the effect of any reduction in information processing costs from the adoption of IFRS is likely to be small relative to the effects of other determinants of home bias such as the strength of investor protection mechanisms in foreign countries, behavioral biases toward familiar equities, and informational advantages related to geographical proximity. We argue that the quality of the information that investors have (or perceive they have) decreases with distance, conclude that global IFRS adoption is unlikely to affect home bias, and propose avenues for future research.  相似文献

This paper examines the quantitative impact of mandatory IFRS adoption on financial reporting issued by first-time adopters. It analyses whether relevance of financial information is higher under IFRS than the information provided in financial statements prepared under local GAAP when investors have to make decisions in the capital markets. Both studies compare results in Spain and in the United Kingdom, whose accounting systems have been traditionally considered in opposite groups. The results of the research reveal that the quantitative impact is significant in both countries and, against what we expected, it is higher in the United Kingdom. We also observe that IFRS have negative effect on the relevance of financial reporting in both countries, although this effect has only been significant in Spain.  相似文献

This paper discusses the effects of the adoption of IAS/IFRS in Europe on the quality of financial reporting. In doing so, it adopts the perspective of stock market investors and focuses on value-relevance research. The adoption of IAS/IFRS in Europe is an example of accounting standardization among countries with different institutional frameworks and enforcement rules. This allows investigating whether, and to what extent, accounting regulation per se can affect the quality of financial reporting and leads to convergence in financial reporting. This is a key issue for standard setting purposes as IAS/IFRS have been adopted in very diverse countries all over the world, and many others are likely to adopt them in the near future.  相似文献

The global proliferation of reporting non‐International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (pro forma) earnings has been subject to academic debate and regulatory reform. This study examines whether non‐IFRS earnings contain statistically significant information on future cash flow predictability that could be useful for investors. The study uses data from large Australian listed companies over a six‐year period (2006–11) covering three distinctive periods around the global financial crisis (GFC): pre‐GFC, GFC and post‐GFC. Results based on fixed effects panel estimation methods suggest non‐IFRS earnings do exert a significantly positive impact on future cash flow predictability but only during pre‐crisis and crisis periods.  相似文献

We investigate how the value of cash holdings changes following the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which is viewed as an exogenous shock to information asymmetry between firms and outside investors. Using firm-level data from 47 countries, we find that mandatory IFRS adoption has a negative and significant impact on the value of cash holdings. This result suggests that investors reduce their valuation of cash holdings when firms can have access to external financing at a lower cost under IFRS. The negative effect of IFRS is concentrated among financially constrained firms. Furthermore, we show that the effect is more pronounced in countries with strong legal enforcement. Overall, our evidence highlights that financial reporting regulation can have a significant effect on how outside investors value corporate cash holdings across countries.  相似文献

Net income adjustments resulting from mandatory 2005 IFRS adoption in Europe are value relevant for financial and non‐financial firms. Differences in relevance of the aggregate adjustment and adjustments related to several IFRS standards, for financial and non‐financial firms and across country groups, suggest differences in domestic standards and institutions affect investors’ assessment of the relevance of IFRS accounting amounts. Despite these differences, except for French/German non‐financial firms, investors view net income measured using IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as more relevant than that measured using domestic standards, which is notable because IAS 39 was highly controversial in Europe.  相似文献
