Verbal probability expressions as a cause of differences in interpretation of International Financial Reporting Standards – towards a research agenda

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify potential causes of differences in interpretation of verbal probability expressions (VPEs) used in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). They are arising from ambiguity of VPEs and the impact of factors such as: culture which the accountant comes from, the language he speaks and the language of the text requiring interpretation and finally the quality of translations from English into target language. In addition, the research areas identified for these reasons are indicated. Moreover, six hypotheses relating to each of these are proposed, and some ways of testing them are suggested.
