Sustainability, Vol. 10, Pages 4818: Does the IFRS Effect Continue? An International Comparison (Sustainability)
 


Previous research showed that in the early years after adoption, the change to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) impacted accounting quality. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether those effects have changed over time in companies within countries that have different legal regimes, enforcement, and degrees of external investor protection. We measure accounting quality using discretionary accruals, real activities manipulation, and the stock price value relevance of earnings per share and book value per share. The findings show that the early effects of IFRS adoption continue with the passage of time in companies listed in countries with common law systems, such as the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, which provide powerful outside investor protection in capital markets. Yet, the early effects of IFRS adoption do not continue after the passage of time in companies listed in Asian countries with statutory law systems, such as Korea and China, which have low levels of outside investor protection. Moreover, it is difficult to obtain evidence that value relevance has improved after the accounting measurement of corporate value shifted to IFRS. The results show that there are differences in the sustained effects on accounting quality, even after the application of IFRS due to the different social, economic, and cultural characteristics of countries.
