The effect of the transition to IFRS on the value judgement of investors
3-19Megtekintések száma:90In our research, we examined the profitability of companies switching to IFRS and the value judgement of investors in the two accounting systems. During the examination, we established that there is no significant difference in the ROS and ROA profitability indicators in the two accounting systems. It is important to note that in the case of both indicators, for companies with a high fixed asset requirement, there is a significant difference in the two accounting systems based on the results of the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Taking into account the number of elements of the clusters, their proportion, and the value of the effect size, in our opinion, the conclusion cannot be drawn for the entire basic population that the indicators significantly differed as a result of the transition, because the difference can only be observed in the cluster with a lower number of elements, or a particularly strong relationship cannot be revealed for any of the indicators. On the other hand, for the ROE indicator, a significant difference can be clearly established in the two accounting systems, as the significant relationship can be demonstrated both in companies with low and high capital requirements. Overall, in the IFRS, the companies showed more favourable profitability with regard to the ROE indicator. The second examination of our research is related to this, which aimed to determine whether the significant deviation of the ROE indicator in the year of the transition can be attributed to the transition to IFRS.

Consolidated financial statements in light of the Hungarian regulations and the IFRS standards
75-93Megtekintések száma:65Companies today have diverse relationship systems. In a legal sense, individual companies exercising influence on each other engage in significant transactions with each other during their operations. Market participants require knowledge of the financial, monetary, and income status of these corporate groups. Therefore, in addition to individual annual reports, it is also important to prepare consolidated financial statements that present the group as a single entity, following either national or international accounting standards.
In our study, the legal background of consolidation will be presented, as well as the rules of consolidation based on Hungarian regulations and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Two IFRS consolidated financial statements will be compared, with a particular focus on the consolidated notes on the accounts (Notes), highlighting those intangible assets whose representation and evaluation are significantly different from Hungarian rules. While the selected parent companies present their corporate groups to varying extents and levels of detail, the requirements of the standards are reflected throughout.
