Does Mandatory IFRS Adoption
We test whether mandatory IFRS adoption affects firm-level ‘crash risk,’ defined as the frequency of extreme negative stock returns.

We find that crash risk decreases among non-financial firms after IFRS adoption, especially among firms in poor information environments an...

This study examines whether mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) leads to capital market benefits through enhanced financial statement comparability.

Using a large sample of listed firms from 17 European countries that mandatorily adopted IFRS over the period 2005-2008, we examine the effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on accounting conservatism defined using Basu’s (1997) differential timeliness (DT) measure.

Using the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as an exogenous improvement to mandatory financial reporting, we document evidence supporting a complementary effect between mandatory and voluntary disclosures. We find that firms in countries that adopted IFRS in 2005 experience an increase in both the likelihood and frequency of management earnings forecasts r...
