Abstract:
Using a sample of Italian publicly traded firms in the period of 1996-2006, we analyze whether and to what extent the mandatory adoption of IFRS has affected the value relevance of intangible assets. Prior literature has claimed that IFRS adoption should improve the quality of accounting information and reduce information asymmetries. We find a statistically significant decrease in the value relevance of intangible assets, and in particular of goodwill, after the IFRS adoption. In contrast, in the Italian setting investors’ evaluation of R&D expenditures seems not to be value relevant under either accounting standards.
