This study uses data before during and after year 1999, which accounting standard in Taiwan started to converge with IFRS, then divides data into groups in order to examine possible affect resulted from this policy before Taiwan fully adopts IFRSs. First part, we bases our study on analysis of Collins, Maydew and Weiss (1997) , and uses value relevance of financial statement to analyze whether any alteration exists in investors drawing decision based on financial statement information; At the mean time we reference study of Kim and Kross (2005) and use financial statement information’s predictability on expected future cash flows to analyze predictability of financial statement information on firm performance. Our result shows that both value relevance and predictability on future cash flows has increased in statistical significance after Taiwan started convergence with IFRSs. This empirical study also finds that when firm’s goal is to avoid net loss, earnings management has increased significantly after convergence. Nevertheless, this study also finds that firm employs discretionary accruals to lower net profit subsequent to convergence. As to firms with high earnings management motivation, they are unlikely to employ discretionary accruals to affect earnings performance subsequent to convergence. 顏信輝 2010 學位論文 ; thesis 80 zh-TW
