Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information (Declared with IFRS Standards) and Financial Performance : Statistical Study and Correlation Test

Abstract

In an international context characterized by the dismantling of economic barriers, the globalization of monetary operations and the fluidity of financial movements, the application of IFRS standards is no longer a luxury, but rather an increasingly persistent necessity for Moroccan and international companies. In this context, and using a statistical analysis on SPSS, this research aims to assess the correlation between the quality of accounting information (declared in accordance with IFRS standards) and the financial performance (in short term and in medium and long term) of Moroccan companies. This quantitative research which uses a Likert-type questionnaire scored from 1 to 5, and through the responses collected from a sample of 314 individuals (composed of accountants, chartered accountants, professors, trainers, doctors and doctoral students), target to demonstrate and verify, statistically, the relationship of correlation and interdependence that connects between « the qualitative characteristics of accounting information » and « the financial performance ». The results confirmed a negative correlation « in the short term » between the aforementioned variables and a positive correlation relationship between the same variables « in the medium and short term ». In the medium and long term, the positive correlation between « the qualitative characteristics of the accounting information declared according to IFRS » and « the financial performance », will probably be a factor that encourages companies to practice international accounting standards despite the costs incurred to ensure this passage.
