The study reviews existing research, revealing mixed reactions to the changes, including decreased earnings management, increased value relevance in accounting reports, and shifts in goodwill impairment accounting. It further examines the effects on conservatism, earnings management, equity and earnings relevance, benchmark management during the transition, and the reliability of financial statements.
