Shareholders are very interested in the relationship between Integrated Reporting and analyst forecast accuracy. Integrated Reporting is deemed to reduce information asymmetry between the company and shareholders. The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence on the relationship between Integrated Reporting and analyst forecast accuracy. Analyst forecast accuracy is examined for a global sample of companies that adopted Integrated Reporting, companies that get assurance on Integrated Reporting, companies that receive assurance on their integrated reports by one of the Big 4, and for a south african sample, companies that are mandated to use Integrated Reporting. Information for analysts’ forecasts is retrieved from the I/B/E/S database and information for Integrated Reporting is retrieved from the GRI Sustainability Disclosure Database. We do not find a significant impact of Integrated Reporting on analyst forecast errors. Similarly, attestation of the reports by bigger or smaller audit firms does not seem to affect analysts’ forecast accuracy. In South Africa however, a positive impact on analysts’ forecast accuracy is observed suggesting that the effect of mandatory integrated disclosures is important for analysts’ forecasts.
<p>US GAAP είναι οι γενικά αποδεκτές λογιστικές αρχές που έχουν εγκριθεί και υιοθετηθεί από την Αμερικανική Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς (SEC) ενώ τα Διεθνή Πρότυπα Χρηματοοικονομικής Πληροφόρησης ( ΔΠΧΠ ) – IFRS έχουν σχεδιαστεί ως κοινή παγκόσμια γλώσσα για επαγγελματικές υποθέσεις. Η διάθεση των επιχειρήσεων να αναπτυχθούν και σε ξένες αγορές δημιουργεί την ανάγκη για θέσπιση ενιαίων κανόνων λογιστικής. Έτσι γίνεται επιτακτική η ανάγκη να συγκλίνουν τα IFRS και τα US GAAP. Περίπου 127 χώρες έχουν υιοθετήσει τα IFRS, σύμφωνα με τους Warren , Reeve και Duchac (2014) και θα ανέλθουν σε 150 σύμφωνα με πρόβλεψη του Tyson (2011). Κατά την διαδικασία σύγκλισης διαπιστώνεται ότι τα IFRS αναμένεται να επηρεάζουν περισσότερο τις διεθνείς χρηματαγορές ενώ αντανακλούν καλύτερα την θέση μιας επιχείρησης. (Florou & Kosi 2013). Στην παρούσα εργασία καταγράφονται βασικές ομοιότητες και διαφορές ανάμεσα στα IFRS και τα US GAAP απόρροια της οικονομικής κρίσης.</p>
