Abstract: The balance of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), after ten years of their implementation, has reflected a positive perception of its impacts on the function ¡°finance and accounting¡± of companies and issuers. Those companies and issuers observe, in a large majority that the transition to IFRS has increased the quality and the homogeneity of the information produced and the rapidity of their establishment. Unfortunately in academic research, such studies remains not clear as most publications front IFRS adoption impact in general manner which concern all sectors at the same study. The purpose of this article is to present the results of an empirical study of three petroleum and gas companies listed in the Casablanca Stock Exchanges (CSE), to measure the impact of the IFRS adoption on financial and accounting information quality in Moroccan petroleum and gas sector. The released results show that this impact is positive for the petroleum and gas sector and the majority of the accounting and financial variables of this sector under IFRS dependents on those variables under the General Standardization Code of Morocco (GSCM).
