The impact of mandatory IFRS adoption on financial analysts’ earnings forecasts in Spain
This study contributes to investigation into the benefits of mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in regard to Spanish GAAP for analysts’ earnings forecasts. In a sample of listed Spanish firms, we find that mandatory IFRS adoption led to improvements in the quality of the information provided to financial analysts in the post-adoption period. We provide evidence that the benefits of IFRS take time to materialise. We also observe that the expected benefits and costs of IFRS adoption in relation to financial analysts’ forecasts were not randomly distributed among Spanish firms. In terms of analysts’ earnings forecast error and dispersion after implementation of IFRS, benefits are concentrated mainly in firms audited by the Big 4 audit firms.
期刊介绍:
The Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting ( SJFA) is a quarterly academic journal founded in 1972. It aims to publish high quality research papers in accounting and finance. The scope of SJFA covers theoretical and empirical analysis relating to financial markets and institutions, corporate finance, market microstructure, corporate governance, internal and management accounting and a wide spectrum of financial performance and financial reporting, including auditing and public accounting. The Journal welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions, and in particular, theoretical papers that yield novel testable implications and empirical papers that are theoretically well motivated. The journal is not a suitable outlet for highly abstract mathematical papers or empirical papers with inadequate theoretical motivation. All manuscripts that meet these editorial guidelines are blind reviewed by external reviewers. SJFA sponsors a periodic conference in which selected papers under review are presented and discussed by additional reviewers in order to increase the quality of the papers published in the journal. If accepted for publication, these selected articles are published in the Journal with a special distinction. The Journal welcomes replies and discussions to both published and forthcoming articles. These contributions, if accepted by the editors, may eventually be published jointly with a reply or comment by the authors of the original paper.
