Abstract [en]

Since 2005, listed companies within the EU have been subject to common regulatory frameworks. With the introduction of IAS 36 paragraph 134, several countries have had to adapt to the new regulations to increase harmonization and comparability in accounting. This study investigates how two member states in the EU (Sweden and the Netherlands) adapted to the new regulations established by the IASB, which is the body that has received approval from the EU as an international standard setter.IAS 36 paragraph 134 was part of IASB's improvement projects regarding the impairments of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinable useful life. The goal of IAS 36 paragraph 134 was to increase the clarity and requirements regarding information on goodwill. The standard means that the companies are forced to provide information on impairment tests by detailing the management of goodwill in the form of disclosure requirements. Previously, companies were able to write off goodwill systematically, but after the change of IAS 36, they instead need to conduct annual impairment tests on Goodwill. The previous research has shown a reasonably weak compliance between the countries, which decreased interest in research during the present. The purpose of the study was to investigate how well Swedish and Dutch listed companies comply with the standard IAS 36 paragraph 134. The study used collected annual reports from 2022 where 40 companies were included in the survey, 20 Swedish and 20 Dutch. After the implementation of a chi-square test, the study concluded that there was no significant difference in the level of compliance between the countries. The results showed that both countries had a high level of compliance of IAS 36 paragraph 134, which can be explained by the countries' high adaptation to the new regulations. This study mentions several decisive factors to the high compliance with the standard.
