The Impact

The reporting of comprehensive income is becoming increasingly important. After the introduction of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) reporting, as required by the 2007 IAS 1-revised, the IASB is currently seeking inputs from investors on the usefulness of unrealized gains and losses and on the role of comprehensive income. This circumstance is of particular relevance in code law countries, as local pre-IFRS accounting models influence financial statement preparers and users. This study aims at investigating the role played by unrealized gains and losses reporting on users' decision process, by examining the impact of OCI on the Italian listed companies RoE ratio and by surveying a sample of financial analysts, also content analysing their formal reports. The results show that the reporting of comprehensive income does not affect the financial statement users' decision process, although it statistically affects Italian listed entities' performance.

Informational Efficiency

<p>This article explores the informational role of three essential modern financial markets actors such IFRS norms, the Big”4” and the financial analysts for a panel of emergent and developed countries during the period from 2001 to 2010. We hypothesis that these mechanisms help improving the quality of specific information incorporated into stock prices measured by the stock price synchronicity (SPS). The main result is that both financial analyst’s coverage and IFRS adoption's effects seem to be stronger for emerging than developed markets. The results also show a negative relationship between auditors’ opinion and coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>).</p>

We propose and examine empirically the role of financial information; namely, earnings and cash flows in France.  The dataset consists of more than 1,000 French firm-year observations over a ten-year period. Regression analysis is undertaken to test the major research hypotheses.  The major conclusions drawn from the empirical results are summarized as follows.  First, results indicate that both earnings and cash flows are taken into consideration by French investors in their investment decisions.  Second, given cash flows, results show that earnings are always very important to investors and financial analysts for investment purposes.  However, results reveal that investors in France place much more attention to earnings and less attention to cash flows. In summary, the evidence provided in this study supports that indeed there are substantial differences in the way investors and financial analysts perceive financial information, such as earnings and cash flows in France.  The results of this study should be of great importance to the major stakeholders, such as investors, creditors and financial analysts, especially after the latest financial scandals and collapses of giant organizations worldwide.  Furthermore, these results support that fundamental analysis plays a very important role in the capital markets and it should be taken more seriously into consideration by the stakeholders for investing, credit, financing and valuation analysis purposes.
