Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards on the value relevance of earnings and the book value of equity. The evidence derived from the study suggested that despite the strength in the overall explanatory power of the model during the two periods, the role of EPS became observable in the post-adoption period. By conducting further analysis, the results highlighted that the increase of the value level are positively influenced by a common law legal system, a high level of external economic openness, a strong investor protection, a full protection of minority shareholders and by a sophisticated capital market.
