Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the relationship between accounting information and market responses. We investigate the impact of the IFRS adoption on financial statements quality and whether this impact, if any, has a positive implication of the capital market (especially, market liquidity and equity value). Data were collected from 147 non- financial firms listed on the Saudi exchange for the period 2015-2019. The findings show that disclosure quality has increased because of IFRS adoption. Moreover, the results find that the adoption of IFRS improves market liquidity and increases the share price of firms listed on the Saudi exchange. Our findings show that adopting IFRS have positive economic implications on the Saudi business environment.
