Impact of IFRS: evidence from Spanish listed companies
Purpose – In this paper, the authors aim to analyze the impact of International Financial Reporting
Standards’ (IFRS) mandatory adoption on the financial statements of Spanish listed companies.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors estimate a panel data model by generalized least
squares’ within-between in order to contrast the possible structural breaks in the relations between
income statement items and balance sheet items, using data from the 35 largest listed companies.
Findings – The results show significant changes on these relations, but with different signs and
degrees of intensity depending on the balance sheet item analyzed.
Research limitations/implications – The data choice introduces a size bias that could be taken
into account in the generalization of the results to other listed companies.
Originality/value – This work is developed using a mandatory, local, accounting and panel data
framework for first time using Spanish listed companies in order to measure the impact of the IFRS
adoption.
