IFRS 4 : A study of insurance companys moviation for a voluntary transition to IFRS and implementation of IFRS 4. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur tillämpningen och implementeringen av IFRS 4 sett ur hos onoterade försäkringsbolag under tidsperioden 2004- 2014 samt analysera huruvida specifika faktorer kan påverka bolagens val att övergå till IFRS.

Detta genom att kombinera ett kvantitativt och ett kvalitativt angreppssätt. Vår data har genererats från en enkätstudie men vår primära data har genererats från  har en dokumentstudie av årsredovisningar.

Uppsatsens empiri tyder på att majoriteten av de svenska försäkringsföretagen valt att upprätta sina finansiella rapporter i enlighet med lagbegränsad IFRS/IFRS och därmed IFRS 4.  Frivillig övergång till IFRS påverkas bland annat av bolagets struktur och internationella aktivitet. Vidare så pekar empirin på att implementeringen av IFRS 4 har skett stegvis, implementeringen av IFRS 4 hos bolagen har alltså skett stegvis och varit mjuk och flexibel.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to examine if certain motives have a significant influence on unlisted insurance company, whom is not required by law to apply IFRS, to use IFRS. Futhermore this study aims to anayize how the implementation of IFRS 4 been in unlisted insurance companys.

To reach our stated objective, this studie we adopt a positivist  approach where  our emperic data consist primarly of our findings from analyzing insurance companys financial reports to create a picture over the implementation and use of IFRS 4.

Our findings indicate that the majority of unlisted swedish insurance companys have chosen to apply IFRS and thereby IFRS 4.  This volountary choice to use IFRS may be determined by the companys structure and international activity. Furthermore our findings indicate that the implementation of IFRS 4 have been varied inbetween the companys as a direct result of implemenation occuring gradually and flexibly.
