Convergence of Chinese accounting standards with IFRS

Summary/Abstract: The advancing globalization processes and the emergence of international corporations have contributed to the need for internationalization of accounting information. The international convergence of account-ing standards has therefore become a necessity. The concentration of investors on the Chinese market, its development and the growth of international importance caused China to begin reforming its accounting system. This study fills the information gap regarding the evolution of accounting and financial reporting in China. The main goal of the study is to show the evolution of accounting regulations and their effects in China. In order to accomplish the main goal, the following auxiliary objectives were adopted in the article: indication of difficulties and obstacles in the introduction and application of new standards, analy-sis of the scope of changes in relation to previous regulations and indication of differences in Chinese accounting standards in relation to IFRS. In addition, the study recounts ACCA's research to assess the quality of financial statements of Chinese enterprises after the introduction of new standards and the bene-fits of the harmonization process.The conclusions from their analysis are definite: convergence with IFRS has significantly improved the quality of reported financial data. However, it should be emphasized that these benefits are not uniform. They are most visible in the production sector, among companies in which investors have greater demand for information and also among those that are more dependent on external capital
