Effective from 2007, International Financial Reporting Standards No. 7 (IFRS 7) requires the disclosure of risk arising from financial instruments, which enhances bank risk disclosure. Using a difference-in-differences analysis, we document a significant decrease in bank risk taking following IFRS 7 adoption. This effect is more prominent when accounting rules are more strictly enforced and alternative bank risk constraining means are weak. We also find that after IFRS 7 adoption, banks are more prudent in loan offering that helps reduce risk. Overall, our results are consistent with the market discipline view of bank risk disclosure and underscore IFRS 7′s role in improving financial stability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 107225"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141292233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that GFI clients are less likely to receive modified audit opinions than non-GFI clients. We then show regulatory support and mitigated going-concern risk as possible explanations for the main result. Auditors exhibit less conservatism (fewer Type I errors) but greater aggressiveness (more Type II errors) when dealing with GFI clients.

We also document that the negative association is more pronounced for firms with more intense product market threats, a situation in which the spillover of more detailed information is costlier. We further validate our argument by documenting that disclosures of more and finer information actually help peers increase innovation activities and investments, consistent with the peers’ effective strategic responses to the disclosing firm’s innovation.

Furthermore, non-disclosure becomes more prevalent among firms with highly perceived customer risks and significant discretionary revenues. These findings imply that negative information transmission between economically linked firms and potential agency issues inherent to supplier firms prompt them to withhold customer identity.

Inconsistent with the traditional information economics theory that information disclosure can alleviate information asymmetry, we find robust evidence that insiders in firms with more narrative R&amp;D disclosures gain significantly greater returns from their stock selling, but this positive relation is attenuated when the readability of R&amp;D-related texts is higher. We examine two potential channels through which more narrative R&amp;D disclosures increase information asymmetry, thus creating opportunities for insiders to trade profitably. One is managers’ obfuscation disclosure of narrative R&amp;D information due to proprietary costs, and the other is the high information processing costs associated with the technical nature of R&amp;D information. We also find that good corporate governance mechanisms can weaken the positive association between narrative R&amp;D disclosure and insider trading profitability. In further analysis, we provide evidence that more narrative R&amp;D disclosures indeed exert high information processing costs for investors and provide opportunities for insiders to trade more before bad news arrives.
