Chapter 10 in Recent Developments in Vietnamese Business and Finance, 2021, pp 223-240 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This chapter examines the value relevance of fair value (fv) accounting for biological assets under IAS 41 Agriculture, using a panel dataset extracted from listed firms in 10 Asian countries from 2014 to 2018. The model of Ohlson (1995) is adjusted to operationalize value relevance as the ability of book value to explain the market value. This chapter also compares countries valuing biological assets at historical cost (HC) and FV. The results of the study prove that recognized biological assets are value-relevant at FV, and more relevant than using the cost model. Therefore, the regulators, preparers of financial statements, and users can have better understanding of the valuation methods of biological assets and the market valuation implications of IAS 41.
