Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines the costs and benefits of adopting IFRS for Japanese firms, as well as the factors that motivate firms to adopt IFRS in Japan, where IFRS adoption is voluntary, by comparing original survey data of adopters and non-adopters. This study finds that both groups perceive significant costs associated with IFRS implementation (costs outweigh benefits). However, the perceived costs do not influence the firms’ decision not to adopt IFRS. Instead, the strength of perceived benefits themselves and industry-specific business practices serve as motivating factors for IFRS adoption.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本では2010年3月期にIFRSの任意適用を認めてから、企業は連結財務諸表について、日本基準、米国基準、IFRS、JMISのいずれかによる作成を選択することが可能となっている。このような国際的な経済圏の大きさからすると特殊な状況をメリットとして活かし、日本企業の財務報告基準選択のロジックをその経済的環境および企業属性を加味しながら、独自のサーベイ・データを利用することで研究してきた。これにより、研究対象として我が国の優位性を示せたこと、また研究結果としてIFRS導入に際して企業側のコスト感が高くとも、それは適用の妨げになっていないことが示せたことは、社会的意義があると考えられる。
