The History of IFRS in Russia in 1991–2021

ABSTRACT The authors analyze the trends in the application of IFRS in Russia in the post-Soviet period between 1991 and 2021. The research relies on Russian regulatory legal acts, scientific and professional publications, and the data describing the development of accounting practices in Russia. The study reviews the scale of proactive adoption of IFRS by Russian companies in the 1990s and 2000s. It also evaluates the legal support of the transition to IFRS in Russia, including the legal requirement of IFRS filing for the consolidated financial statements of Russian companies. The article reviews the Russian accounting standards in terms of their compliance with the IFRS. The authors analyze the adoption of IFRS by the public sector as well as by small and medium-size enterprises. The transition to IFRS was a natural response to the key macroeconomic processes that have changed Russia over the past 30 years of its post-Soviet reality. Data Availability: Data are available from the public sources cited in the text. JEL Classifications: M40; M41; M48.

Growth in revenue and earnings management practices in Nigeria pre- and post-IFRS adoption periods

The purpose of the study is to examine the revenue growth and association with earnings management practices of firms in Nigeria pre- and post-International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption years. The study uses 87 nonfinancial firms over 19 years, nine years pre-IFRS (2003 to 2011), and nine years post-IFRS (2012-2020) for a total of 1566 firm-year observations. The panel regression estimate (fixed effect and random effect) was used to test the association between revenue growth and discretionary accruals, while the paired sample t-test was used to test the effect of IFRS adoption. The finding shows that decreasing growth rates resulted in increasing earnings management practices, probably due to the desire to maintain steady published performance figures in the pre-IFRS era, while decreasing growth rates resulted in income-decreasing earnings management practices in post-IFRS years, a rather surprising result. The finding also suggests that the practice of earnings manipulation is higher post-IFRS, indicating lower earnings quality. While managers engaged in income-increasing earnings management practices pre-IFRS, surprisingly, income-decreasing earnings management practices were detected post-IFRS. The finding deviates from norms and popular assumptions and suggests that the adoption of global standards might not necessarily mean limiting the abilities of managers to manipulate the earnings of companies. While changing standards may affect the nature of earnings manipulation, it is unlikely to prevent or deter the practice in general. The implication is that the application of IFRS will not deter earnings management practices.

Effectiveness of International Financial Reporting Standard Enforcement in Nigeria

Background to the Study The general belief in accounting literature is that the adoption and application of IFRS in developing countries will enhance the quality of financial statement information including its reliability and comparability (Ballas, Skoutela and Tzovas, 2010). However, it is also argued that no matter how high the quality of the accounting standards adopted, comparable and high-quality accounting information will not be achieved without strict enforcement of these standards (White house, 2012). IFRS is “a set of accounting rules, principles and procedures that aim to create a common financial reporting platform with the objective of bringing transparency, accountability, efficiency to financial markets, harmonization of accounting practices and enforcement. Even though some countries claimed they have officially adopted IFRS and mandated companies to prepare financial statements accordingly, some companies may selectively implement IFRS recognition and disclosure requirements. Even with increasing IFRS adoption around the world, notable differences in financial reporting systems will remain due to regulatory, political, and institutional differences across countries, leading to variation in IFRS compliance between different jurisdictions (Soder storm and Sun, 2007). Such variation hinders the main goal of developing a global set of accounting standards which is comparability of accounting information across countries. Chen and Zhang (2010) provided empirical corroboration from the Chinese market that mere adoption of IFRS does not necessarily lead to the perceived high-quality and comparable financial accounting information because of enforcement challenges and lack of full compliance.

Analysis of Impact of Changes in IFRSs on Convergence of Accounting Systems in World

Abstract The article examines the impact of updated IFRS on the current convergence of national accounting and reporting rules in Japan, the USA, China, France, Germany, the UK, and Ukraine based on a theoretical analysis of 59 rules and concepts of IFRS. The new differences between the updated IFRS and GAAP of these countries based on the comparative analysis were revealed. The results of the study show currently Ukraine (51%) and the United Kingdom (47%) are the most convergent with IFRS, although their degree of convergence has decreased significantly after recent innovations in IFRS; a new question arises for the UK after Brexit regarding the further application of IFRS; countries with strong national accounting traditions continue to avoid rapid changes in their GAAP; 4) the increase in the convergence of GAAP Japan with IFRS will not be possible shortly. The conclusion states that the main obstacle in the convergent process GAAP and IFRS is that: 1) IFRS are changing based on GAAP USA, rather than vice versa; 2) IFRS do not belong to the “stable to change standards”, so users have a certain distrust of the declared high quality of IFRS. The study results add significant novelty to scientific and practical research on the impact of frequent changes in IFRS both locally and internationally.

Revenue recognition practices in South Africa: An analysis of the decision usefulness of IFRS 15 disclosures

The paper analyses the first-time adoption of IFRS 15 and reports on the appropriateness, rigour and decision usefulness of revenue disclosure practices in South Africa. The decision usefulness is assessed by reviewing the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue recognition information. A disclosure checklist was used for the content analysis and interpretation of a selection of South African listed companies. In most instances, revenue disclosures appeared to be orderly, concise, coherent and appropriately cross-referenced, indicating that generally companies were able to deal appropriately with entity-specific information regarding the nature, amount and timing of revenue recognition. Specifically, the disaggregation of revenue, the accounting policies and the transitional requirements were applied appropriately. However, two main concerns were identified, which compromise the decision usefulness of revenue recognition. Firstly, misalignment between the IFRS 15 information in the annual financial statements and the interim financial statements was identified in the first year of the application of IFRS 15. The finding indicates that some entities need to start their process of adopting a new financial reporting standard earlier. Secondly, specific assumptions and judgments regarding revenue recognition, determining the transaction price and measuring obligations for returns, refunds and other similar obligations were not always disclosed. Insufficient disclosure specifically regarding the uncertainty of revenue recognition could compromise the decision usefulness of revenue information. The findings of this paper contribute to the understanding of the first-time adoption implications of new accounting standards, such as IFRS 15.

The effects of the legal environment on the entire application of IFRS for small and medium-sized enterprises: The case of Vietnam

The article explores the impact of factors in the legal environment on the application of the entire international financial reporting standards for small and medium-sized enterprises. Legal environmental factors include the legal system, the influence of the state role, professional associations and tax regulations. The author adopted the survey of 80 managers and 80 auditors to find out if there is any difference between the financial reporters and the financial reporting auditors on the impact of the legal environment. Through T-Test with SPSS 26 software, the author found that the tax factor is highly appreciated for both managers and auditors, especially for managers. The auditors assessed that the entire application of IFRS would bring benefits more than the costs while the managers assessed that the costs would be more than the benefits. Through the survey results, the author suggests limiting the impact of tax on accounting and further improving the role of professional associations.
