Difficult Decision

By approving Regulation 1606/2002, the European  Commission entrusts the local European Union regulators with the difficult decision as to whether making the International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) extensive for their Small and Medium sized Entities or not. International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sizzed Entities (hereinafter IFRS for SMEs) was published in 2009, and the European Commission had also decided to seek the opinion of EU stakeholders on this Standard. We understand that the European accounting regulators’ position should be based on the analysis of the extent to which current domestic standards allow useful financial information to be provided by and to these companies. <br />Therefore, this paper presents empirical evidence regarding Spanish SMEs’ characteristics, timely facing the harmonizzation process, in order to determine if the information provided according to the national standards accomplishes the required usefulness. Its purpose is to share facts and data about this kind of still underestimated companies, though of great economic and social significance in Spain and in Europe in general.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os fatores determinantes à submissão de cartas comentários, como estratégia de lobbying no contexto da regulação contábil, à audiência pública do Discussion Paper Extractive Activities do International Accounting Standards Board IASB).Os resultados mostram o tamanho como fator determinante, em todas as modelagens utilizadas, indicando que grandes empresas petrolíferas possuem maior probabilidade para realizar lobbying. Essa propensão é verificada para posicionamentos essencialmente desfavoráveis às propostas apresentadas pelo IASB, o que implica em considerar que a revisão/substituição do International Financial Reporting Standard -IFRS6 será um processo complexo e sujeito a pressões por parte das empresas petrolíferas para manter o status quo.

Accounting Principles

The new EU-Accounting Directive of 26 June 2013 (DIRECTIVE 2013/34/EU) has the intention to harmonize the accounting and financial reporting of enterprises in the European Union. “Think small first” is the central principle in the new EU-Accounting Directive and the new regulations have to be adopted in the laws of European member states by 20 July 2015. The International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs) was published in 2009 by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The IASB intended to create simplified international financial reporting standards for the special needs of smaller and medium-sized enterprise. The IASB completed in May 2015 a comprehensive review of the IFRS for SMEs and made amendments to the Standard. The revised version of the IFRS for SMEs will be issued in the last quarter of 2015. The aim of the paper is to analyze the compatibility of the IFRS for SMEs and the new EU- Accounting Directive and the problems in connection with the harmonization of the European accounting legislation especially in Germany. Based on the results of the research most of the former incompatibilities could be removed, but the remaining complexity of the IFRS for SMEs and the lack of an option for the member states to adopt the IFRS for SMEs as an accounting and reporting standard besides or instead their local accounting principles will prevent the wide use of the IFRS for SMEs in Germany and in other member states of the European Union.

O IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), preocupando-se em adequar as Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade para todos os portes de empresas, criou a IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standard) para (PME) Pequenas e Médias Empresas, visando padronizar a contabilidade societária das empresas que não possuem o rigor e a estrutura das empresas de capital aberto. Apesar do Conselho Federal de Contabilidade determinar que as empresas PME se enquadrem ao CPC PME, devido ao pouco nível de estrutura e governança corporativa das empresas, não possuírem a obrigatoriedade de auditoria e a não necessidade de evidenciação dos seus relatórios financeiros ao mercado, muitas empresas não se adaptam ao CPC (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis) PME. As empresas que convergem ao CPC PME são decorrentes das decisões de seus gestores norteados pelas suas crenças, valores e experiências prévias em empresas que são obrigadas a utilizarem o IFRS para a divulgação dos seus resultados. O objetivo do presente ensaio teórico é refletir sobre o potencial do interacionismo simbólico como abordagem epistemológica para compreender o processo de convergência no Brasil ao CPC PME. Estas crenças, valores e experiências prévias podem ser embasados pelo interacionismo simbólico proporcionando um estilo de gestão que direcione a convergências das empresas PME à adoção das normas internacionais como processo e padrão das regras contábeis na prática.

<p><em>International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) introduced by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB is international financial reporting standard. IFRS is a single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards. It is a "principles based" set of standards which are drafted lucidly and are easy to understand and apply. IFRSs were adopted first time in 2005 by EU (European Union) and are now accepted or required in more than 120 countries. In India, this is in an implementation stage. This paper tries to study the implementation problems in India and make suggestions to solve the problems. The important implementation problems are cost, lack of awareness about IFRS among investors, and no uniformity in accounting guidance issued by various regulators (SEBI, IRDA, RBI) in India. The suggestions are to provide proper training and education to accounting professionals and employees about IFRS; Government has to reform the taxation system to match with IFRS. </em></p>

This paper examines the changes in earnings quality of registered American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as a result of switching accounting standards. We aim to shed light on the potential impact of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) adoption on US firms. A suboptimal approach to achieve this goal is through examination of US firms’ surrogates such as ADRs. Unlike previous studies, we made a distinction between registered and unregistered ADRs and affirmed that registered ADRs are the closest surrogates with which to conduct our analysis because they are exclusively required to adhere to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s stringent disclosure requirements. When cross-listing their equity on the US exchanges, foreign issuers can file their financial reports with the SEC using IFRS, US GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), or their domestic GAAP with reconciliation to US GAAP. An improvement in earnings quality is documented when ADRs adopt US GAAP or IFRS versus domestic GAAP. However, when the comparison is made between US GAAP and IFRS, no difference in earnings quality is documented. These results indicate that switching to high-quality accounting standards is likely to improve earnings quality. This improvement is maximized when the difference between reporting standards is high and minimized if otherwise. Our conclusion is that the adoption of IFRS in the US is unlikely to change earnings quality of local issuers. Moreover, we drew a distinction between reconciliation with and adoption of high-quality accountings standards and find that while the former can enhance earnings quality, the latter can further improve it.
