“…The first strand is related to examining a firm's level of compliance with disclosure requirements of the International Accounting Standards (IAS)/IFRS and the applicability of certain standards in a particular environment (Van Zijl and Maroun, 2017;Shimamoto and Takeda, 2020). The second strand of research focuses on investigating the factors that affect the level of IFRS compliance; scholars examined the impact of firms' characteristics (e.g., Bova and Pereira, 2012;Lin, 2012;Lopes et al, 2016), corporate governance variables (e.g., Krismiaji and Surifah, 2020) and institutional factors (e.g., Avwokeni, 2016;Alzeban, 2018) on the level of compliance with IFRS requirements. The third strand is related to examining the impact of IFRS compliance on several variables, such as the disclosure level (e.g., Aksu and Espahbodi, 2016), firms' value and foreign direct investment (e.g., De George et al, 2013), decision making (e.g., Chandrasekar and Kumar, 2016) and voluntary disclosure (Uyar et al, 2019;Akman, 2011).…”
