While the majority of studies examining the issue of GAAP reporting for foreign-listed
firms focus on the benefits (e.g., incremental value relevance to investors, improved forecast accuracy of analysts, etc.), Herrmann, et al. (1996) take a different perspective by examining a potential cost. These authors use a fundamental analysis approach to examine the comparability of companies that restate to the exchange country’s GAAP. Three matched samples are formed:
(1) Japanese companies that use Japanese GAAP,
(2) U.S. companies that use U.S. GAAP, and
(3) Japanese companies that use U.S. GAAP
(i.e., cross-listed firms). Herrmann et al. (1996)
question whether Japanese companies that report using U.S. GAAP (group 3) more comparable to Japanese firms using Japanese GAAP (group 1) or U.S. firms using U.S. GAAP (group 2)?
