Disclosure quality when capitalizing operating leases in accordance with IFRS 16 (English)
Abstract [sv]

Trots redovisningens huvudsakliga syfte att bistå som informationskälla och beslutsunderlag varierar kvaliteten för upplysningar mellan olika företag. IASB:s regelverk lämnar ett stort utrymme för tolkning, vilket leder till att upplysningar till viss grad genomsyras av de problem relationen mellan en principal och en agent kan ge upphov till. Det kan resultera i en redovisning som inte längre återger en ekonomiskt rättvisande bild av verksamheten, vilket bidrar till ett informationsgap mellan företag och dess intressenter. Denna studie bidrar till att reducera negativa marknadseffekter till följd av gapet, genom en granskning av ett slumpmässigt urval om 249 svenska börsnoterade företag och dess upplysningar vid byte av redovisningsprincip för operationella leasingavtal. IFRS 16- Leasingavtal kräver att merparten av alla leasingavtal tas upp i företagets balansräkning som en nyttjanderättstillgång, respektive leasingskuld. Det empiriska material som studien baseras på lyckas förklara en del av variationen i upplysningskvalitet mellan företag, genom den effekt kapitaliseringen av avtalen bidrar till vid förändringen av redovisningsprincip.

Abstract [en]

Despite the main purpose of accounting as source for information and support in investment decisions, the quality of disclosure differs between companies. The accounting standards developed by IASB leaves room for interpretation, which may lead to disclosures permeated by the relationship between principals and agents, resulting in an information gap between the company and its stakeholders. This study contributes to a reduced market influence caused by this gap, by reviewing the disclosures of 249 Swedish listed companies when changing principles of accounting for operating leases. IFRS 16- Leases requires a capitalization of the lease contract as an asset and debt respectively in the balance sheet. The empirical data of the study succeeds to explain some of the variance in disclosure quality between companies, during a transitional period, by the effect of capitalizing when changing principle.
