The recently introduced European Securities and Markets Authority APM guidelines are intended to enhance corporate financial disclosures. We analyse the disclosure quality and determinants of all types of APMs in management reports of German listed firms for two financial periods. Although the quantity of APM disclosures is extensive, it differs across firms’ characteristics, and there is considerable room for improvement regarding disclosure quality. APM disclosure quality is positively associated with firm size and negatively associated with profitability. However, not all firms’ characteristics can be applied per se as universal determinants of APM disclosure quality, and a distinction must be made between different types of APMs. For example, high ownership concentration is negatively associated particularly with the quality of profitability APMs. Firms’ leverage is positively associated with the disclosure quality of non-profitability APMs.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"18 1","pages":"102 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1829655","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48084785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the UK, since 2008 the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has published inspection reports for major audit firms, which include overall quality ratings for the individual audit engagements of each audit firm under review. This study examines the FRC’s ratings, and measures their impact on audit fees and audit firm switching. A significant increase in audit fees is found when the audit firm has a higher proportion of engagements with deficient ratings, probably arising from the additional effort and resources needed to meet the FRC’s requirements. This impact is more concentrated among clients with Big 4 audit firms. However, there is no evidence that FRC ratings affect clients’ likelihood of switching audit firms, suggesting that inspection results may not signal audit quality, and thus do not affect clients’ audit firm appointment decisions. The results provide evidence that inspection ratings may increase audit costs, but may not be valuable in distinguishing audit quality, and thus have no effect on audit committees’ audit firm appointment decisions. This finding advances understanding of the effectiveness of the audit inspection regime, and provides auditing regulators with guidance on policy making.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"18 1","pages":"75 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1833056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48508526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper sheds light on the difficulties that arise in the local regulatory space when IFRS requirements start to shape national accounting legislation and regulations. The findings suggest that the investor focus and requirements for managerial judgement of IFRS can pose two problems. Firstly, an extended influence of IFRS creates tension with established institutions that have developed in the local accounting tradition. Secondly, local organisations can respond strongly to new IFRS regulations and their potential implementation, even if the contradiction with local practice bears no immediate economic consequence to them. The study contributes to the contextualisation of financial accounting in national culture by highlighting the different understandings and uses of IFRS by actors involved in the Swedish regulatory space.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"17 1","pages":"367 - 387"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1824073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48815636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the European public good (EPG) criterion has been interpreted since the beginning of the EU endorsement process and how it is interpreted today. After retracing the origin of the European public good criterion in the IAS-Regulation we identify different periods in the EU endorsement process where the application of the EPG criterion changed. These changes are explained by a variety of factors, not least the financial crisis of 2008. The scope of what is considered to be part of the EPG has substantially expanded, a trend that is still ongoing.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"17 1","pages":"314 - 333"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1818799","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60429996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presupposes that legitimacy is an important issue for the survival of private accounting standard setters who face legitimacy claims from stakeholders and regulatory competition from other standard-setting bodies due to their lack of a democratic foundation. Findings show that the definition, typology, sources, and legitimacy characteristics that researchers use depend on the theoretical perspectives that they employ in their analysis. Simultaneously, they do have some common points despite the difference in their perspectives. Regarding legitimacy changes, prior studies suggest that moving from practical toward cultural legitimacy, the importance of due process, and the role of crises all affect these changes. The review also identifies future research directions as well as several challenges for legitimacy studies in accounting, namely defining an analytical framework, focus on the dynamic nature of legitimacy and output legitimacy, and the need for more empirical studies, among others.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"17 1","pages":"264 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1837889","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42571955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different accounting regulations exist in Europe, with no required, common accounting standards to promote these entities’ participation in diverse countries and societies. We analyse the current differences among local accounting regulations related to the elaboration of financial reporting for European NPOs. We accomplish this by considering the primary elements that define an accounting system together with accounting regulations to elaborate on these organisations’ financial statements, and specific operations related to tangible fixed assets, donations and volunteering. Despite there are pressures to promote an isomorphic behaviour in the European context, our results evidence intense differences among European local regulations for NPOs, with origin in diverse cultural and non-profit traditions.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"18 1","pages":"43 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1795215","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46664900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By discussing how selected episodes of the international political setting have impinged on the work of the IASC and the IASB, I attempt to demonstrate that geopolitics is a relevant angle on international accounting standard setting even though many aspects of IFRS can be adequately understood without references to geopolitics. I propose a simple framework to distinguish between symbolical and substantial relations between geopolitics and international accounting standard setting, as well as technical aspects where such a relation is absent. I call for further development of the conceptual toolbox required to analyze the relationship between international accounting standard setting and geopolitics, as well as for more empirical work on the historical and current configurations of this relationship.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"17 1","pages":"243 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1795214","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47447001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are three strands to our argument: economic, regulatory and legal. From an economic perspective, we demonstrate that neither historical cost nor fair value are designed to achieve long-run operational stability. Regarding regulation, we show that Directive 34 has significantly changed the concept and implications of prudence, in the name of increasing usefulness and relevance. Our legal considerations centre on the Gimle case of 2013, applying its logic to the new regulatory scenario. We note also the concept of the ‘European Public Good’. At various times the EU has suggested four specific components: protection of financial stability, the lack of hindrance to the economic development of the Union, and the objectives of sustainability and long-term investment. To achieve these objectives within the EU we show that it is necessary to follow the logic of our arguments.","PeriodicalId":45647,"journal":{"name":"Accounting in Europe","volume":"18 1","pages":"26 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17449480.2020.1779946","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46501608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
