We provide a framework that builds upon the findings of Chaney, Lodh and Nandy (2021) for future research to examine the mechanism through which national culture is related to earnings management. In particular, the framework can be used to examine how specific contexts, reference points, corporate culture and economic institutions affect the relation between national culture and earnings management.

The paper on mandatory nonfinancial risk disclosures and the effect of auditor characteristics examines a topical issue and finds unexpected results. It finds that there is no overall Big 4 effect, but that some of the Big 4 audit firms are associated with a higher quality of risk disclosure. Audit partners with wider experience, and female auditors, are associated with better risk disclosure. I review the paper, applying a predictive validity model. I suggest areas where research on this issue could be further developed.

Using standard proxies for accounting quality, with a focus on earnings persistence and earnings management, we examine how the association between firm-level informativeness and accounting quality varies according to the quality of the country-level information environment. Our sample comprises over 15,000 publicly traded firms from 21 countries included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index, between the years 2000 and 2016. Using novel proxies that aggregate several firm- or country-level characteristics associated with lower information asymmetry or higher-quality information environment, we find that in emerging markets with weaker information environments, the positive association between firm-level informativeness and accounting quality is more pronounced, suggesting that greater firm-level informativeness may partially compensate for weaker country-level institutions. Consistent with the substitution effect, we also document that the positive association between firm-level informativeness and stock market performance is greater in emerging countries with weaker information environments.

Elsewhere in this issue, Song and Trimble (in press; hereafter ST) present proposals for a method of classifying jurisdictions by the degree to which they have adopted IFRS. ST apply the method to many jurisdictions over 30 years. This classification can be useful to both qualitative and quantitative researchers. As ST suggest, the classification will need to be kept up to date. In that context, this commissioned paper discusses possible enhancements to their method. I suggest that ST’s tables are too ambitious in trying to cover six dimensions: country, year, type of GAAP, range of firms covered, whether the GAAP is required or merely permitted, and the degree of compliance by firms. I would reduce ST’s 13 IFRS statuses to five types of GAAP.

The number of countries that have adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in some form has grown each year. However, the existing literature generally ignores the varied types and the complex timing of IFRS adoption. Our paper provides a cross-reference of IFRS adoption dates and types for 195 countries and territories around the world. This definitive data, including an extensive online dataset, was developed to help researchers better identify IFRS adoption events in the samples used in their empirical studies. Additionally, we highlight potential challenges in identifying IFRS adoption types and dates as well as provide areas of future research that can benefit from our dataset, which can be accessed online https://about.illinoisstate.edu/mktrimb/song-trimble-2022-dataset/ .
