The global financial crisis in 2008 eroded trust towards the banking industry overall. To make such institutions more transparent, the International Accounting Standard Board developed the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9). After the announcement of IFRS 9, academic research has primarily focused on examining the stability of banks due to early loan-loss recognition guidelines under the new system. There appears to be a lack of understanding of how IFRS 9 has influenced institutional depositors' opinions of bank trustworthiness. Hence the goal of this study is to determine how the adoption of IFRS 9 by banks has impacted perceptions of transparency, trust, and skepticism, from the perspective of large institutional depositors. This research was conducted in the context of Malaysian banks that follow the IFRS 9 guidelines. A framework is proposed using the signaling theory, leading to the development of a set of hypotheses. The hypotheses are tested with data collected from 654 financial analysts working in Malaysian companies that are large institutional depositors. The results indicate that the adoption of IFRS 9 has led to higher levels of perceptions of bank transparency and trust, and lower levels of skepticism towards such banks.

Since 2014, the IFRS 9 has been the focus of the attention of many scholars across disciplines. The futuristic prediction of bank loan provision via a flexible ECL model has been observed as a game changer from the prior models offered in IAS 39. This study has two objectives; the first is to examine the impact on loan loss provisions (LLP), nonperforming loans (NPL), and the impairment loan losses (ILL) after the IFRS 9 in gulf banks. The second is to capture any variation in LLP, NPL, and ILL before and after IFRS9. The study used the two-way fixed effect model (TWFE) estimation and the DiD approach to attain its objectives. 54 gulf banks were selected from the periods between 2012 and 2020. The results indicate that LLP has significantly increased after the transition to IFRS 9, while the NPL has significantly decreased. The results did not capture a significant change in ILL after IFRS9 implementation. The results also indicate more consistency in LLP and NPL reporting after implementing the ECL model adopted in IFRS9. The study concluded that ECL model outcomes are in tandem with prior observation worldwide and pointed out some improvement opportunities for the future.

With the aim of examining the effects of implementing international financial reporting standards (IFRS) on teaching accounting and auditing at universities and colleges in Vietnam, a case study was conducted at 30 universities, colleges, and 208 lecturers in Vietnam. Next, the study employed the structural model analysis method by PLS_SEM software to process and analyze the collected data. The research results show that: (1) There are eight factors that affect how IFRS is applied to teaching, including the training program, (ii) teaching staff, (iii) IFRS application regulations, (iv) related party requirements, (v) faculty/school administrators, (vi) teaching aids, (vii) IFRS teaching methods, and (iii) students; (2) there are three factors that affect the quality of teaching staff, including applying IFRS to teaching at the university and colleges, (ii) Regulations on the application of IFRS, (iii) Requirements from related parties. At the same time, the study also shows that, regarding the indirect relationships, applying IFRS to teaching does not play an intermediary role in these relationships. However, at the 10% significance level, it was found that there is an indirect relationship between regulations on the application of IFRS by the Ministry of Finance and the quality of teaching staff through the variable applying IFRS to teaching.

Purpose - This study provides evidence of the impact of the mandatory adoption of Korean equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) on accounting quality. K-IFRS uses fair value as a basis of measurement and is characterized by principle-based standards. These characteristics can lead to a decrease in conservatism. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether or not there is a change in the level of conservatism before and after the enforcement of K-IFRS (2007~2014). By comparing 2007 through 2008 and 2013 through 2014 (excluding 2009 to 2012), we test "the temporary adjustment phenomenon" and document an overall decline in the degree of conservatism after the adoption of K-IFRS. Research design, data, and methodology - Our sample is comprised of data of all listed Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) manufacturing distribution companies in Korea from 2007 to 2014, which yields the pooled sample of 4,412 (panel A) and 1,915 (panel B) firm-year observations for hypotheses 1 and 2. In line with recent literature, we adopt the Givoly and Hayn (2000) model, which recomputes the non-operating accruals, excluding two components that are most likely to capture the effect of restructuring activities: special items and gains or losses from discontinued operations. In addition, we also use these variables: SIZE, LEV, INV_CYCLE, ROA, OWN, and FOR. Results - Our sample period spans 2007 to 2014. This offers evidence on the effect of the mandatory adoption of IFRS on conservatism. Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, in panel A, for mandatory K-IFRS adoption (2011), we do not find any significant evidence of conservatism. We can guess that the "temporary adjustment phenomenon" is the reason that we do not find significant evidence of conservatism. Second, we investigate panel B from 2009 to 2012. We document an overall decline in the degree of conservatism after the adoption of K-IFRS. We can assume that these results are due to "the temporary adjustment phenomenon." Conclusions - This study finds that conservatism significantly decreased after IFRS adoption. In particular, this study makes the initial effort to elucidate "the temporary adjustment phenomenon" to analyze the effect of K-IFRS on conservative accounting. We argue that K-IFRS are conceptually conservative but that inappropriate application of the conservatism principles is likely to prevent financial reporting from reaching the level of conservatism targeted by the IASB. Overall, this paper contributes to the literature on IFRS and can be useful to capital market supervisors who are monitoring the trends of the firms implementing K-IFRS. Additionally, our results inform stakeholders of the potentially negative effect of the greater flexibility permitted by IFRS and/or lack of appropriate enforcement on key dimensions of accounting quality. This has important implications for Korean regulators and standard setters as they review the cost and benefits of IFRS. Our study also sheds light on the importance of the institutional environment in achieving the targeted objectives for improving financial reporting quality.

The purpose of this study was to find out what factors influence the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for Vietnamese businesses. The survey included 150 enterprises, including parent companies of state-owned economic groups, parent companies that are listed companies, large-scale public companies that are unlisted parent companies, and enterprises with 100 percent foreign direct investment, that will apply IFRS voluntarily from the year 2022 and switch to the mandatory application from the year 2025 (Ministry of Finance, 2016). The survey was carried out with the help of the Google Form tool, and the data was processed using EFA and regression analysis methods on the SPSS 22.0 software. The findings show, for enterprises in Vietnam, that six factors influence the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, ranked in order of influence from high to low: (i) Related party requirements; (ii) Professional qualifications of accountants; (iii) Roles of enterprise managers; (iv) Forms of capital ownership in enterprises, (v) Institutional regulations, and (vi) Operational characteristics of the enterprise. In addition, the study also shows that, for enterprises in Vietnam, the requirements of related parties are an important factor to promote the preparation of the financial statements of enterprises according to IFRS.

과거 우리나라 기업회계기준(K-GAAP)에서 영업이익 산정과 그 구성항목에 구체적인 기준을 두고 이를 엄격히 지켜왔던 것과 달리 한국채택국제회계기준(K-IFRS)에서는 영업이익에 대해 구체적으로 정의하지 않고 있다. 이로 인해 기업들은 각각 다른 방법으로 영업이익을 공시하게 되었고 투자자들은 영업이익이 자본시장에 전달하는 정보의 중요성을 고려할 때 K-IFRS의 영업이익 공시기준이 시장에 혼란을 초래할 수 있다는 우려를 표하였다. 한국회계기준원은 자본시장참여자들의 이러한 지적을 수용하여 2012년 9월 K-GAAP과 동일한 방법으로 영업이익을 산출 공시하도록 하였다. 본 연구는 우리나라 코스닥시장에 상장되어 있는 기업을 대상으로 K-IFRS에 의해 작성된 영업이익과 K-GAAP을 적용하여 작성된 영업이익의 가치관련성 분석을 통해 영업이익 공시정책 변경의 타당성을 검증하였다. K-IFRS를 적용한 코스닥기업 520개를 대상으로 K-IFRS 도입 이전(2010년)과 이후(2011년)의 영업이익의 가치관련성을 분석한 결과 K-IFRS 이전 기간의 영업이익이 더 높은 가치관련성을 가지는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 2011년에 공시된 영업이익(발표영업이익)은 과거의 회계기준으로 환산하여 추정한 영업이익(조정영업이익)에 비해 주가에 대한 설명력이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 전체 표본을 발표영업이익과 조정영업이익의 상대적 크기로 나누어 동일한 분석을 수행한 결과 발표영업이익이 조정영업이익에 비해 높은 집단에 대해서만 영업이익의 가치관련성이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 추가적으로 조정영업이익이 음(-)인 기업 그리고 과거 연속적인 영업손실을 보고한 기업일수록 K-IFRS를 적용하여 조정영업이익에 비해 높은 수준의 발표영업이익을 공시한 것으로 나타나 2011년 손익계산서의 작성 과정에 경영자가 의도적으로 개입하였음을 암시하고 있다. 따라서, K-IFRS의 영업이익 공시에 대한 자본시장의 우려가 실증적으로도 지지되고 있으며, 한국회계기준원의 영업이익 공시정책변경의 타당성을 지지하는 것이다. 또한, 이러한 분석결과는 2011년 영업이익의 공시를 악용하여 코스닥시장의 퇴출위험에서 벗어난 부실기업들에 대한 사후적 조치가 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 2002년부터 2019년까지 유가증권시장(KOSPI)과 코스닥시장(KOSDAQ)에 상장된 대기업 7,074개, 중소기업 2,394개를 대상으로 2011년을 기점으로 의무 도입된 한국채택국제회계기준(K-IFRS) 전후의 대주주지분율과 외국인 주주지분율이 레버리지비율에 미치는 영향을 실증분석 하였으며 분석결과는 다음과 같다. K-IFRS의 도입은 중소기업보다 대기업의 자본구조에 더 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 유가증권시장과 코스닥시장에 상장된 대기업과 중소기업의 대주주지분율과 외국인주주 지분율은 레버리지비율에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대기업 및 중소기업 대주주는 부채의 사용을 재무위험으로 인식하여 레버리지비율을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 외국인주주는 K-IFRS 도입 여부와 상관없이 투자 위험을 낮추기 위해 부채사용을 재무위험으로 인식하고 레버리지비율을 감소시키는 방향으로 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있다.

This study attempts to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and earnings management practices in the context of Saudi Arabia after mandatory IFRS adoption. It is carried out on an unbalanced panel of 277 observations over the period 2017-2019. For this purpose, CSR disclosure is measured by Bloomberg ESG scores, while the residuals from the modified Jones model are considered for earnings management. As control variables, we have retained the firm performance, market-to-book ratio, firm size, financial leverage, board independence, ownership concentration, managerial ownership, and lagged discretionary accruals. Using the system GMM estimator in the dynamic panel, the results show a positive association between CSR disclosure and earnings management practices, thus supporting the perspective of agency theory. Managers engage in socially responsible activities beforehand to conceal their wrongdoing and convince stakeholders that the organization is transparent. They probably use ethical codes as a tool to achieve their own goals rather than the firm's goals. Our contribution is the use of recent data (2017-2019) taking into account the mandatory adoption of IFRS in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, to our knowledge, this study is the first to address CSR disclosure and earnings management practices using GMM system estimates.

기업자산에 있어서 기업부동산비율이 자산을 구성하는 구성요소 중 상당한 비중을 차지 하고 있음에도 불구하고, 국내에서는 이러한 연구가 부족하고, 부동산을 효율적으로 활용하는 정책이 제대로 갖춰져 있지 않은 실정이다. 특히, IFRS 도입 후, 자산이 재평가되면서 기업부동산자산을 유용하게 활용할 필요성이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 2010년~1016년 사이의 재무데이터를 바탕으로 기업지배구조와 기업부동산 보유정책 및 기업가치간의 관련성을 분석하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 기업지배구조가 독재적 지배구조일수록 기업부동산 보유비중이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 기업부동산 보유비중이 높을수록 기업가치는 오히려 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 기업부동산비중을 적절히 가져감으로써 기업가치를 높이는 정책이 필요함을 시사한다. 향후에는 기업부동산 보유정책의 매개적 효과를 검증함으로써 기업부동산 보유정책이 기업지배구조와 더불어 기업가치에 상당한 영향을 미치는 중요한 자산임을 보여주는 연구를 진행하고자 한다.
