Abstract

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has become the global standards in producing high quality, understandable and enforceable accounting standards. Malaysia have committed on full convergence since the year of 2012. Since then, most of the prior studies in the field focused on the impact of IFRS adoption on accounting or companies’ perspective. To complete the view, this study aims to investigate the investor’s views on convergence with IFRS and how it would impact the Malaysian Capital Market. By interviewing institutional investors, the findings of our study suggest that institutional investors welcome the move of IFRS convergence in Malaysia and they are positive on such a move. The investors agree that IFRS convergence will bring benefits to the Malaysia capital market. The convergence is helpful in increasing the investors’ confidence when making investment decision making in the country. It is also important to bring the financial reporting environment in the country to the international level.
