Abstract

This paper examines whether accounting quality is maintained for UK banks that report under the IFRS accounting standards during times of stressed market price volatility. We find that the UK banks’ accounting quality, measured from 1992 to 2008 using the relationship between total shareholders’ equity and market price, experienced a significant decrease during the high levels of market price volatility in 2008. This paper contributes to research that examines the IFRS accounting standards and to the examination of accounting quality in banks during periods of stressed volatility. Furthermore, this study concludes by calling for the examination of methods and processes to mitigate risks that impact on accounting quality.
