THE VALUE RELEVANCE OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION IN TRANSITION TO IAS/IFRS: THE CASE OF INDONESIA

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to present some preliminary evidence for the information content of earnings and book values during transition era to IAS/IFRS in Indonesia, from 1994 to 2009. Sample of this research consists of firms listed in Indonesian Stock exchange in which stock prices, earnings, and book values are available for the study period 1994 to 2009. Data are divided into two periods, namely 1995 to 2000 period and 2001 to 2009 period because there is no or little adoption of IFRS by IIA during the first period. Data ate analyzed by using multiple regressions. This research finds that value relevance of earnings and equity book values is higher in the period of significant adoption of IAS/IFRS than the period of little IAS/ IFRS adoption. This research also finds that equity book values and earnings have value relevance when both equity book values and earnings are positive. However, both equity book values and earnings do not have value relevance when both equity book values and earnings are negative.
