Research Abstract

This research investigates" format effect" of financial reporting with respect to both individual and foreign institutional investors' behaviors. Regarding foreign investors, it examines whether the differences between the reported numbers and the numbers obtained from globally standardized database would affect foreign investors' ownership and consequently finds no statistically significant impact. The research on format effect to individual investors is undertaken by questionnaire survey to see the relationship between their knowledge about accounting treatment and attention to footnote disclosure and their investment behaviors. By holding considerable length and prioritizing stockholder perks they reduce the potential impact of format effect.
