Abstract: | The objective of this paper is to investigate the level of
harmonisation for IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement and to identify if
different levels of harmonisation are associated with
company-specific factors. Based on Rahman et al. (2002),
we used the Jaccard (JACC) index to determine the level
of harmonisation between IAS 39 and the financial
reporting practice of a broad-based sample of
European-listed companies in 2005.We applied regression
analysis to identify companies’ specific characteristics that
affect the level of convergence of the reporting practice of
financial instruments. The results of this study show a
high level of harmonisation between accounting practices
of European companies included in our sample and IAS
39. |
