“…We identify that 33 articles specifically discuss the outcomes of IFRS adoption such as the readability of financial statements (Richards and van Staden, 2015;Cheung and Lau, 2016), predictability of earnings (Bodle et al, 2016;Palea and Scagnelli, 2017), earnings transparency (Ye et al, 2018), audit (Nam, 2018), usefulness and accuracy of goodwill disclosure (Amor os Mart ınez and Cavero Rubio, 2018), and information asymmetry of the stock market (Abad et al, 2018). Additionally, numerous studies investigate IFRS-related issues in emerging markets such as Jordan (Al-Htaybat, 2018), Malaysia (Che Azmi and English, 2016), Oman (Lourenc ßo et al, 2016), Brazil (Nakao and Gray, 2018), and China (Yang et al, 2018;Ye et al, 2018). However, there is little attention paid to the influence of one of the most important determinants, the institutional environment, on the consequences of IFRS convergence in the Asia-Pacific region.…”
