Abstract:
The study investigates the balance between accounting regulation and political influences in the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in an emerging country. Forty-three interviews were conducted, from 2010 to 2013. Additionally, enforcement documents from 1998 to 2013 in relation to IFRS were evaluated. The study reveals that lack of accounting regulatory framework and political influences are hindering the effective implementation of IFRS. Most importantly, regarding the balance between accounting regulation and political influences, a high level of political influences is adding more apprehension to the implementation of IFRS. The study contributes to the policymaking agenda of the IFRS implementation literature. The findings are relevant to other emerging economies. In particular, local and international policy makers should rethink the path of the global implementation of IFRS.
