CeFARR Research Briefing Session January 2013
Accounting for asset impairment - A test for IFRS compliance across Europe
The introduction of IFRS has contributed to bringing consistency in recognition and disclosure practices in Europe. The new financial reporting regime has facilitated comparability and has led to such capital market benefits as increased stock market liquidity and a lower cost of capital for firms. However, findings in a CeFARR research report on impairment reporting in Europe show that there is considerable scope for improvement in the implementation of IFRS by some European listed companies. Until such improvements occur, the economic benefits claimed for harmonised financial reporting may well remain elusive.
To mark the launch of Accounting for asset impairment: a test for IFRS compliance across Europe, a research briefing session was held at The Business School on Thursday 17 January 2013. The main areas of focus over the briefing included:
- An overview of CeFARR's research findings on the timeliness of impairments, compliance with IFRS impairment reporting requirements and drivers of observed impairment disclosure behaviour in Europe
- Recommendations for improved impairment reporting and what European firms may consider doing to manage their financial reporting going forward
- How the observed level of compliance meets the expectations of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and its vision for the implementation of IFRS across Europe
Speakers
- Professor Peter Pope, Professor of Accounting and former Director of the Centre for Financial Analysis and Reporting Research, The Business School
- Hans Hoogervorst, Chairman, International Accounting Standards Board
- Vincent de La Bachelerie, Ernst & Young Partner, EMEIA IFRS Leader
