Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our study investigates the role of firm and country characteristics in determining the level of compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements. We also examine whether the role of firm characteristics hold across different country environments. Our empirical study relies on European Union listed firms included on the STOXX Europe 600 Index and on their level of compliance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations disclosure requirements. Our results demonstrate that both firm and country characteristics develop a significant task in explaining the level of compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements. They confirm that firms located in a common-law country have the strongest, and firms located in a French-civil-law country the weakest, level of compliance with IFRS 3 disclosure requirements, with firms located in a Scandinavian- and German-civil-law country placed in the middle. Our findings also suggest that return on assets is the main determinant of the level of compliance with IFRS 3 disclosure requirements in the group of common-law plus Scandinavian- and German-civil-law countries, while leverage is the main determinant in the group of French-civil-law countries.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While responding to calls for research and regulatory concerns regarding the influence of country level characteristics on the completeness and quality of financial statements, we examine the simultaneous influences of corruption and culture on levels of compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements. We use a panel dataset of European companies, for 2008 to 2011, and measure compliance with IFRS goodwill disclosure requirements utilising a disclosure index. Corruption is measured using the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Schwartz (2008) bipolar cultural dimensions are used as measures of culture. We find that compliance levels vary significantly across sample firms, countries and over time. The level of corruption and two of the three cultural dimensions (Hierarchy and Mastery) are significantly related to these levels of compliance. These findings also hold for the changes in compliance levels over time. On that basis, the paper makes original contributions to our understanding of determinants of compliance levels with IFRS mandatory disclosure requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study empirically investigates the level of compliance by listed Indian firms with disclosure requirements of Indian Accounting Standards. India0́9s Accounting Standards have been gradually converging with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) since 2001. India currently stands on the verge of adopting the International standards. Indian companies are working fervently towards adopting IFRS. This provides an extraordinary research environment to assess the level of compliance during this transitional time as well as lending an opportunity for a post adoption study. This study addresses two research questions developed to review annual reports of 156 listed Indian firms to determine (1) their current level of compliance with selected disclosure requirements of Indian Accounting Standards, and (2) key corporate characteristics that affect their level of compliance. The data used for the study pertains to the financial year 2009-2010 and utilizes disclosure and compliance index methodology to calculate the level of disclosure. Overall, the findings of this study indicate none of the companies in the sample was fully compliant with the mandatory requirements of the Indian Accounting Standards. On average, level of disclosure made by Indian companies based on selected mandatory disclosures is 70.91%. Nevertheless, the disclosure levels were on an average comparable to results from similar studies conducted in other developing countries. Moreover, results indicated a strong and positive association between level of disclosure and the size, profitability and timeliness of reporting of the sample companies.

Download or read book The Economic Effects of Increased Corporate Disclosure written by Sun Liu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the estimation risk prospective of whether greater corporate disclosure results in smaller stock return volatilities (thus less risk premiums being claimed by outside investors) and a lower cost of equity capital in a low disclosure environment, namely that of the two Chinese stock exchanges. While this paper finds that corporate disclosure is negatively associated with total stock return volatility, the extent of information asymmetry with respect to firm-specific characteristics or idiosyncratic risk appears to play a vital role in determining whether this negative relationship is statistically significant. In addition, this paper finds that the extent of listed companies' mandatory disclosure, but not the extent of their voluntary disclosure, is negatively related to stock return volatility. This appears to reflect the unique disclosure environment in China with its weak enforcement mechanisms, where companies tend to treat mandatory and voluntary disclosures as substitutes. However, the finding suggests that the market does not perceive voluntary disclosure to be an effective substitute for mandatory disclosure. This paper therefore provides further country-level evidence to support the view that the extent of negative association between disclosure and the cost of equity capital is primarily dependent upon the specific features of stock markets and the disclosure environment in different nations.

Download or read book Disclosure Behavior of European Firms around the Adoption of IFRS written by Michael H. R. Erkens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Erkens analyzes the determinants and consequences of information disclosure. He presents an empirical investigation of corporate risk management disclosures of nearly 400 firms from 20 European countries. The results show that countries’ institutional settings and cultural values are predominant factors why firms disclose information on their risk management practices. In another study, the author analyzes the economic consequences associated with the publication of an annual report in English by European firms from non-English speaking countries. He finds that the release of English annual reports attracts more analysts and foreign investors to the firm, and decreases information asymmetries between insiders and outsiders of the firm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid globalization of capital markets has increased attention toward examining the quality of the disclosure practices implemented by companies, as internationalization and globalization are the most important motives of the harmonization of financial statements preparation and presentation. Given the expansion of trade and the openness to foreign capital markets, investment decisions became not limited only for local users, but also international users may need to access the financial information. The issuance of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to be used throughout the world aims to improve the comparability and understandability of financial statements, and hence, to enhance investment decisions through helping investors across the borders to invest in multinational companies. Although fluid and under-developed institutional arrangements remain central features of emerging markets, ensuring effective corporate governance mechanisms would indeed support companies in complying with IFRS – the latter imposes a challenge for companies operating in emerging markets. This book evaluates the differences in the level of compliance with IFRS across the GCC states, exploring the impact of corporate governance on the level of compliance with IFRS and presenting an empirical analysis of companies across the GCC. It makes an important contribution by providing a detailed empirical analysis of the interplay between corporate governance and IFRS in emerging market setting and highlights the way for future research. It will provide international business, management, and accounting and finance students and senior practitioners with a completely new and updated guide to the work in the field of corporate governance and IFRS compliance in emerging markets.
