  • The effect of IFRS 9 on comparability
    Publication . Cardoso Fontes, Joana; Panaretou, Argyro; Shakespeare, Catherine
    This study examines the impact of IFRS 9 adoption on accounting comparability in the banking industry. Our findings indicate that overall the adoption of IFRS 9 is associated with a decrease in accounting comparability. The adoption of the expected credit loss model is identified as the primary driver of reduced comparability, while we provide some evidence that IFRS 9 classification and measurement framework and IFRS 9 hedge accounting rules are associated with an increase in comparability. Although we document a decline in comparability during our sample period, we do not draw conclusions on the long-term impact of the expected credit loss model on comparability or its effect on the informativeness of accounting numbers.
