Abstract: In this study, we investigate the effects from the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards based Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) on the quality and comparability of financial reporting by Indian firms. Further, we examine whether these changes in reporting quality and comparability lead to improvement in a firm's valuation, liquidity, and return volatility. We find that the implementation of Ind-AS improves financial comparability. Further, we report that improvements in accounting comparability, rather than reporting quality, had a more significant and relatively greater effect on economic outcomes for Indian firms around the time of Ind-AS adoption.
