Abstract

Adopting International Financial Reporting Standards is the current trend in harmonization of national accounting systems to enhance comparability of financial reporting. The expected benefits of using a single set of standards throughout the world, however, are questionable due to inherent differences in economic and political conditions across countries. This article summarizes recent research on the real benefits of IFRS adoption on the capital market and provides recommendations for Vietnam in adjusting its current accounting system.
