People's Republic of China has a long history of accounting and accounting reforms. This study focuses on “whether China should continue its IFRS-based domestic accounting standards or full convergence with the IFRS is more appropriate”? Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are applied to answer the research question of this work. Binary choice model has been used in the statistical analysis because data of two variables shows presence or absence. The results of our model indicate that China's accounting reforms, including convergence with the IFRS, are significantly associated with the internal and external factors. In the light of our statistical findings and details of the theoretical aspects (i.e. environmental determinism theory, globalization, growth of economy and accounting profession in China and regulatory influence of the Chinese government) this study proposes that China should continue its IFRS-based domestic accounting standards and further convergence with the IFRS should be launched in case of decisive needs only.

This study attempts to compare and highlight the major differences between International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with National Accounting Standards (NAS) in one of the developing nations, Iran. Over the past two decades, the Iranian accounting standards setter, Audit Organization, has decided to eliminate the differences between IFRS and NAS as a part of its convergence and harmonization project. In 2011, the Audit Organization decided that IFRS implementation would be permitted for all listed companies. The primary purpose of implementing IFRS is to enhance the international comparability of financial reports, which would attract more foreign investors to participate in the Iranian capital market, improve the efficient allocation of resources and boost the competitiveness of the market. In spite of her announcement, Iran has not supported IFRS. The purpose of this paper is to provide possible reasons for non-adoption by highlighting some important socioeconomic factors that are likely to influence the accounting environment in Iran. The main question we try to answer in this study is: to what extent is Iranian GAAP congruous with IFRS.

Accounting standards, are rules governing how to do accounting work, and specify what information must be provided in financial reporting. The main objective of this study was to compare the stronger accounting standards against weaker accounting standards which in this study, we compare accounting standards of Iran and international standard in terms of Rents. The population of the research is institutions member of accounting community; that to collect theoretical principles of the study, library methods and to collect statistical information, questionnaires were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for validity and reliability of questionnaire, and to analyse the data, Student's t-test, Kolmogorov - Smirnov test and Friedman test was used. SPSS21software was used to analysis. Time limit of this research involves the second half of 2016. The population of the investigation includes audit firms of Certified Public Accountants community. Findings from analysis of statistical data are at 95% reliability level, which reject us hypothesizes based on non-reliability, unsuitability and lack of understanding. We conclude that Iran's accounting standards relative to international standards from the perspective of professional judgment of auditors to determine the rent type, in terms of degree of reliability, intelligibility, functionality is more appropriate.

Identifying the possible consequences of implementing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the Iranian banking industry before the implementation of these standards is of great importance due to the nature of the financial reporting environment of banks in Iran, so the purpose of this article is to identify these consequences. In this study, after systematic Reviews, survey questions (including 45 items) were designed and sent to four groups including banks, bank Independent auditors, supervisory institutions, academic experts and researchers in order to collect expert opinions. Received responses (with a return rate of 90%) Were analyzed using a fuzzy logic method. The results show that the main consequences of implementing IFRS will be the implementation of Expected Credit Loss Measurement (ECL) and Fair Value Accounting (FVA) models. Although the factors limiting the implementation of IFRS in Iran affect the relevance and reliability of measurement models, from the respondents' point of view, preparing financial reports based on fair values versus historical cost can provide more relevant information to investors. In addition, with increasing asset transparency, the likelihood of facing a crisis of increased transparency in financial reporting due to the structure of the political economy increases. Also, due to some features of banks' financial reporting environment such as economic instability, weak corporate governance and lack of knowledge and professional judgment skills, it is likely that the Procyclicality effects of ECL and FVA models will increase.
