The value creation is the aim of economic initiatives, strategies, corporate policies, and all business activities, including banking. It depends, among other things, on size, legal form, and business model. Therefore, this paper wants to demonstrate and explain the differences about the value created in the Italian banking sector, where there is much diversity regarding size, legal form, and business model. This paper estimated and compared the value of Italian listed companies from 2010 to 2012 and found the result： Banks create more value if they are big and operate in investment banking. Furthermore, it proved that legal form hasn＇t influenced performance and value of banks.展开更多

The study therefore empirically analyzed the effect of IFRS adoption on value relevance of book value, earnings per share, and cash flow from operations in Nigerian firms - evidence from consumer fLrms sector. Three hypotheses guided the study. The ex-post facto research design was used. The population is made up of 25 consumer firms listed in Nigerian Stock Exchange. A sample size of 12 firms selected on the basis of availability of data among other considerations was used. The study covers a period of eight years （2008-2015）. Secondary data collected from annual reports of finns and database of Capital Assets （http：//www.capitalassets.com.ng/） were used. Multiple regression analysis was used in analyzing the data with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences （SPSS） Version 22. The findings revealed that IFRS adoption has an incremental effect on the value relevance of book value, earnings per share, and cash flow from operations, with earnings per share showing the highest increment. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that investors should consider the values of earnings, book values of equity, and cash flow from operations in the annual reports of firms prepared in accordance with IFRS before making any investment decision. However, more emphasis should be laid on earnings.展开更多

The findings of this study suggest that the accounting earnings and book value are capturing most of the information that is relevant to assess the values of firms. At the same time, it also suggests that earnings and book value as well as non-accounting beta are more valued during the financial crisis as compared to after the financial crisis. Overall, the accounting estimate of the value of the firm is not deviating from the markets＇ estimate, which suggests that accounting numbers play an important role in the valuation of firms in Malaysia.展开更多
