Skralan Vergauwe and Ann Gaeremynck, ‘Disclosure comparability under IFRS’, look at changes in disclosures about investment properties by European real investment firms between 2005 and 2010. The sample is 435 firms (5% non-EU) from 11 countries (two non-EU: Norway and Switzerland). The authors find that ‘disclosures not only improve over time but also become more comparable over time’. They also ‘find evidence that the financial crisis accelerates the path to more comparable information’.
